So, new to this but...kind of incompetent no?

Keep bringing in generalists from Risk instead of data SME's ...and I'm sure Citi will be able to solve all data problems this way

what is the point of these "manifesto" documents full of generic garbage written by people in london who have no idea how the technology works how did they skip the layoffs?

While other firms are forcing 4-5 times in the office per week later this year, Citi is holding steady on the current hybrid approach plus extra flexibility in August and hopefully December. Since cutting back on work from home is a powerful lever to... — read more 

Bank has almost 80 open positions that were just posted at the end of last month. I guess it's promising that despite laying off tens of thousands of people, Citi is still hiring bunches at the same time.

More layoffs? PIPs? Something else they can think of to get rid of us?
