That's it. That's the post.

We're drowning in work! I'm fu--ing tired of having to pick up extra work every few months. I can't do more than I'm doing right now. My entire team will walk if we lose one more person. This is fu--ing brutal.

The only thing we all seem to agree on is how badly we want out. New hires don’t even stick around long enough to properly learn the ropes, but can you blame them? I can’t think of anyone who’d willingly sign up for this long-term. It’s like the... — read more 

Do you believe me now?

Here people with longer stay in citi they will make sure new joiners get frustrated and go. No one can fix this culture.

I’ve heard for 8 years, “don’t look for a job now, the job market is bad”. If not now, when? When the recession is over you’ll hear, “don’t look for a job now, the job market is flooded with applicants”. Four months from then you’ll hear, “don’t look... — read more 

Most salaried employees did not get a bonus, or got a bonus under $5k in 2024 and 2023. The Lovely Citi CEO Jane gave herself a 33% increase in pay in 2024. $34.5M in 2024; $26M in 2023; $24.5M in 2022; $22.5M in 2021. Citi is her personal piggy... — read more 

All you tech folks, if you don’t like the way the company is ran or the salary you are getting, then get off of the train. There couldn’t be anymore of a solid words of advice than those spoken by Jane Fraser. “If you don’t like it, then get off of... — read more

Checking in on the state of our AI/GenAI platform efforts—because from the outside, it’s looking less like a strategy and more like a crowdsourced science experiment. Multiple directions, minimal alignment, and a generous sprinkle of contractor chaos... — read more 

If you want to take Citi to the next level, if you want to truly lead Citi into the future, then you’ll need to get new younger CEO and MD’s. Leadership often says “we need fresh younger thinking minds that aren’t tethered with old thinking”, well... — read more 

Do any departments outside of Tech post to this forum?

Is it lack of accepting changes with old age managers?

Heard that contractors are next, is Canada also going to be impacted?

A bird told me that contractors are next on the chopping block, is this true?

Anybody lucky enough to get laid off today?

Oh you already know how its going to play out. They’ll trim down tech, then mandate “absolutely no outages…..do more with less….be creative…..” and then they’ll shorten deadlines, while summing it all up with “don’t forget ‘work life balance is... — read more 

Allegedly heard tech layoff haplening next week up to 600 people affected. Is this true?

What do you think Zscaler is being used for?

What’s going on Citi? Another reorg or shake up in regulatory transformation ?

So what’s going to happen with china. Is Citibank going to pull out of china or what. Many companies leaving china during this trade war. Why is citi continuing business as usual ?

It shows up in how you speak, how you write, even how you present. One grammar slip or tone difference becomes a target. This isn’t inclusion.

Has anyone left Citi for a community bank? Or a smaller bank? This question likely better suited for us employees I’m so over Citi I’m looking at smaller places. So curious on differences. Would assume limited opportunities at a smaller place. But... — read more 

Moving positions elsewhere.

How's the public cloud migration going so far? Barely any workloads have been migrated and it's substantially more expensive than anyone estimated, and only getting more expensive.

Few months in citi, I've already burned out. Never worked in such an environment, fake requirements, dead projects, figure it out after I get it done. Even Got a warning by my boss, punished by working hard? Bonus for laziness. Looking for layoff... — read more 

Stable job, great pay with huge bonus, reasonable hours. My colleagues and I wear a polo shirt with the Citi logo on it and take a group photo in the lobby every week. The worse day of the week is Friday because we have to wait two days until Monday... — read more

It looks like Jane's strategy of slashing jobs and the personal devastation that goes with losing work was all worth it because the market is back up for Citi. Hope the ride on your hellbound train is worth it Jane.

How hard will it be? Do you have former colleagues that switch the sector? Thank you.

Layoffs are imminent, to be communicated first 2 weeks of May. Heard directly from leaders in BAU groups as well as revenue generating groups of Citi. If you are planning any big purchases or vacations and have not already booked I would hold off

Re-org(s) still in flux. Will I or will I not still be here? Upper management bonus’s at risk. Will they or will they not layoff to recoup the bonus? China tariff’s in play. Will we pull out of China altogether or risk staying? They came out with a... — read more 

I’ve worked at several banks, and this one is, hands down, the worst. The team is unreliable, constantly gossiping, and always on edge. My manager is clueless, more focused on office politics than actual work, and an expert at finding scapegoats to... — read more 

A meeting with our group head and he told us then that the layoffs for that project were over and if you're still here, that means "we chose you. We believe in you ". So, what he was saying is they, (managers) actually do decide who they want to keep... — read more 

This place is a revolving door for managers - three in six months. It’s truly exhausting trying to keep up with new bosses every other month. At this point, I just assume anyone in charge won’t last. Really makes you wonder what’s happening behind... — read more 

As the fear rises and the selloff steepens, leading to eventual lower guidance, how do you think Citi will be affected?

Does this helps in moving offshore jobs back to US ?

Does anyone know what the outcome was after the OCC quarterly visit last month? It seems to be a hush hush situation in tech. Probably more regulatory fines popping up soon or something.

Many new hires in the last two weeks. What’s going on with Citi? Does it mean layoffs will be happening to get rid of current employees only then replace by higher cost lower skilled new hires? Citi’s way?
