Jane pumping stock price?
Jane is giving speeches /interviews on greener grass for M&A deals that is yet to come and stock price is ticking up. Is this some sort of a scheme to get price up, exercise option and then exit the bank?
H1b's in Business orgs
What do you think of H1b's in business orgs without business degrees and moving from Tech. H1b's are specialized skills got for special areas like Tech and shouldn't change roles. Can we report them to USCIS ?
Layoffs going down in Tampa
Lots of background buzz about this month but know of 3 people near me
Promotion policy improvement
“At times, when team members take leave or mention personal commitments, it can be perceived as reduced loyalty to the firm. Having a culture where taking leave is seen as normal would improve trust and morale.” “Sometimes growth opportunities feel... — read more
Not Taking VOE
Can you get in trouble for not taking the VOE? It's pointless and big waste of time.
Now Live! AI Tool for Clients
Oh boy. I'm sorry but this company's internal AI tools are cr-p and far behind other companies. I cringe that some tools for clients have been rolled out. I am so sick of the AI push here to use su-ky internal tools. Pushing us to use AI is coming... — read more
Warn notice Tampa
Assuming that the much rumored Citi Tampa layoffs for September will trigger the Warn Act, do you get a 60 day non working notice and then severance (in my case 3 months) or just 30 days severance plus unused vacation. TIA.
Current culture and layoffs
Incoming new hire here. What’s the current culture at Citi within HCOL offices in the US? Specifically NYC/Boston offices? Is the whole bora bora project (mass layoff) still going on?
Regulatory bo-b coming
Stay tune…bigger news coming …grab the popcorn and watch the drama unfold…
Only 3
Foundational Services is keeping promotions for new directors at only 3 people (for a group of 8000). So, not only will we see more promotions to MDs (assume more than 3), only 3 Directors, and who knows how few AT will ‘allow’ to be promoted for the... — read more
What are my options?
WIthout doxxing myself, the gist of the story is that after a reorg, the incoming management are power grabbing shitstains that blatantly grabbed the work that was done, virtually demoted a few people by bringing in their own people (the demotion... — read more
Ghosting for a lateral move
Need to get out of toxic leadership. Been applying internally and externally. More external than internal. One internal did get picked up 2 months after I applied. 5 rounds of interviews for a lateral move in the same domain I've been working in... — read more
Too much time wasted on office drama
So much time is lost in pointless politics while real work gets shoved aside. Is management letting it slide because they are part of it or just bored? Either way, it is draining to deal with nonstop nonsense.
More rearranging of the deck chairs in Technology
With Morton departing, TR has announced another reorg. I suppose in the absence of any real progress, reorgs and in-depth documentation is considered progress. Is this orginaization serious about anything?
Separation pay
Does citi pay the vacation time you are owed if you quit? Or if you are laid off?
It's getting close to the end of the year and I'm still here
I was convinced I'd be long gone by now. This shows you just how bad the job market is. Despite my best efforts, over a year of searching and still nothing.
Finance Team layoffs
Layoffs across multiple finance disciplines w notification date 9/25. They are waiting until VOE closes on 9/18 to inform the impacted employees.
College Grad Hiring
is H1 and H4 EAD hiring needed when college grads are not getting job. Put an end to H1 hiring and stop the backdoor entrees. Probe companies TCS, Infosys, Wipro , IRIS . H1/H4 hiring is not about specialty. H1/H4 hiring is about comfort that... — read more
Clusterfu-k Meetings
How does Citi expect anyone to get any work done when 6.5 out of the 8 hour workday are bullsh-t useless meetings? When the fu-k are we supposed to actually do our work? What's the point of attending meetings if everyone except the presenter is... — read more
Data - AN vs Japan
There was a smart dude with tons of patent under his belt but was let go and now he is equal to Trim at a healthcare company. While we have a dum--ss AN who doesn’t know sh-t and torch is given by Trim to AN to burn down the house…LOL
Law firm recommendation
Any good law firm recommendation that will fight on a contingency basis? Potentially looking at 7 figure settlement. Corruption and violation of law from senior management all the way to C level.
Confirmed NY layoffs happened
Some of my colleagues confirmed last day 9/30/25. Most are ready to retirements

Burned out
I am completely worn out from this job. Endless politics, slow processes, and no clear path forward make every day frustrating. Being part of such a large, inefficient team drains any motivation. The only reason I stick around is the paycheck, but... — read more
Slido question
In today’s tech town hall , they did not read out the top questions. Only the easier one was read and answered. What is the use of Slido ?
KYC layoff
the warning posts were correct, had a HR meeting this morning for my whole team we were laid off, I don't know which other teams or lacations where affected but heard 75 total laid off in KYC our team is only 13 people.
Thinking of asking to be RIFd.
Anyone done this? I don’t feel like waiting to retire (1 year horizon). I’m burned out and done and financially fine, work has no interest for me. But I keep missing RIFs. Ready to go but would like the severance package regardless. Can’t see the... — read more
Has anyone ever gone to their manager to ask for a lighter workload?
How did that conversation go for you?
KYC - AI
KYC staffs across all sites should be replaced by AI. Period..
WARN act NJ Pdf
I swear someone posted it a week or so ago and it said that in jersey city in oct there would ber 50+ layoffs for citigroup, but now if I go to the same url the document has changed. does anyone know about this?
So nore more Trim Ryan humor then?
Pity...used to be so much fun to read. I'll always wonder who was it. NYC based or London based (the bucket collecting water from ceiling leak in the London office which someone later confirmed to be true)? On the real TR's team or one of his... — read more

External vs internal hires
Why does Citi seem to hire external people for roles more than internal?
3 Days or Else
Jane Fraser’s brilliant plan: make sure we’re in the office exactly three days a week... or else. Skip a day? Smaller paycheck and a poor year-end rating await. And from August through December, managers will be running reports to punish anyone who... — read more
