Two good friends were told today that their positions were eliminated in CPB. Also were told there are more to come.

Right, so, there’s been quite a bit of talk going round about possible job cuts coming this August. To be honest, it’s hard to know what’s genuine news and what’s just office gossip at this point. You usually only hear official word when it’s pretty... — read more

I’ve been with Citi for 2 years now. I’ve always tried to stay adaptable and show up when needed, but the return-to-office policy is starting to wear me down. This year, I made the decision that in order to stay productive on my new team and aligned... — read more

I wasted my time on useless promise of getting hired . I had to move out due to downsizing and struggling on visa now with no hire.

Anybody know what was this meeting about today?

Backstabbing’s a sport, managers lead with fear, and speaking up just paints a target on your back. No support, no trust. Just survival mode, day in and day out. This isn’t a culture, it’s a slow collapse.

Supring that no one posted on this till now. Managers have submitted 10% of their staff for rating 4 as requested by TR last week. Expect the cuts by Aug/Sept ?

How long do offers take? Interviewed months ago and still in business review and can hit the withdrawal button still( thought that means still in consideration)? Recruiter said they should have updates soon and nothing yet
