Instead of hiring people who eventually quit, how about finding out why the current ones don’t want to stay. Maybe this is too way out there, too big of an ask.
Silence before the storm
No announcements or Townhall?
DEI
What will happen to the DEI programs, especially in light of the recent trends where many organizations are rolling back their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives...
It’s not personal.
Just because it does not work out for you at Citi, does not mean its not working out for others. Its not all bad and even if it is, then leave. Simple as that. It is what I’m doing right now. There are some things that aren’t working out for me... — read more

No Raise for Lateral Moves
I was just told by my recruiter there are no longer salary increases when staying in the same job level. They said there is no exception to it either. It is a new policy they are rolling out. We were always able to negotiate some money before... — read more

Internal Mobility to a Previous Team
Hi, I'm in the Grad analyst program of 2 years in 2 teams and I would like to move to my previous team before I graduate from the program, since my current team is sh---y. Does anyone know if it is possible to do that?
Finally, a decision that makes sense.
As has been mentioned time and time again, if you can’t pay adequate comps the easiest and cheapest thing you can do is let your people work from home. Its a win all the way around. Employees get to save money on travel, lunch, auto wear and tear... — read more
When is Layoff Happening
When is layoff happening, this month or next. With $600 milion reserved it would seem like another 7k to 10k layoff and only in first quarter. Are people getting calls and laid off. Are they targeting people who work remote, on leave, near... — read more
Did executives just see AI language processors and the likes and think BAAM we can put it to work, replace workers, and save us money?
It seems they think it's that simple from the whole rhetoric around it. Do they even realize Citi is far from having the talent to implement it and even if it did at one point, it might be always too much risk to use it as they might be envisioning... — read more
A meme that explains why Citi can’t draw or retain top talent for very long.
There’s a meme I saw that rings true: “I found a software error that’s costing the company 18 million a year at the company I work for but I haven’t told them because they told me “no” when I asked for a raise” Citi though has another spin on it:... — read more

Layoffs are still going? More to leave?
We were told no more promotion for excellence of work but only for change of responsibility. But what happened to the 8500 promoted this year?
I got 1:1 performance review. Been a VP for 10 years, Was told no promotion because of the Citi promotion is only for change of work scope. But my colleague in different team who has been doing the same routine work for 5 years are promoted in seat... — read more

Why top Executives leaving citi
Top Experienced Executives seems leaving , Is it good for citi
Hiring
Management is still hiring external/contractors despite layoffs and less promotions/bonuses to employees in multiple locations. is it part of simplification strategy.
This board used to be for layoff updates or new and occasional cerebral knowledge sharing about the company. What happened.
There’s lots of distracting insulting one liners spouting off non-related rhetoric of no use. Normally an employee would not adhere to such tactics so as to get to the core of the updates of whats going on. So, most likely, such an individual who... — read more

Massive Ego or Mentality?
I just want to ask, is talking down to people a thing with Citi's environment or a cultural thing? Or is it their ego? Been here for some time now. But the general tone and expectation from middle managers is that they genuinely believe they're... — read more
You are what you do.
So let’s ask ourselves… Does Citi management lie? Do they misrepresent the truth? Do they obfuscate? Is Citi cheap? Do they make sound decisions that make sense whether its popular or not? Is Citi fair? Maybe the answer is yes, maybe its no. ... — read more
Awesome….just freak’n awesome. I do have to thank you Citi, you helped me prioritize.
Ranked a 2/2. Raise: 1K Bonus: 1% Certainly NOT worth the effort put in to get that 2/2 and it certainly sets the pace for 2025. Work just hard enough to keep from getting fired while I look elsewhere. I foresee in my future my meeting attendance... — read more
The Citi sacrifice.
Working sick doesn’t prove dedication, it proves a broken culture. If your rest feels like weakness, your workplace is draining you. In the right culture, rest is strength. Wellness isn’t just allowed, its what keeps you at your best. You, as an... — read more
Transformation roles
Does anyone know what happens to all the people who are tagged under transformation, working on the consent order projects? When these are over are they going to layoff all these people?

I truly hope that we as a company do NOT use deepseek.
For any company, for deepseek….why trust it? Its like you have a pile of cash on your counter and you’re going away for a few days. You leave a well known compulsive gambler to house sit for you while you’re away. Who’s fault is it really when... — read more
DEI
Do you think citi will get rid of DEI and layoff everyone in that department?
World going too fast our leads going too slow why?
World is now talking about deep seek still our AI leaders don’t know the basics of AI but still they want to lead with zero knowledge, step back leads and give steering to the one who knows.
Why so many members of C-suite leaving?
Noticed that since the last month there has been so many senior leadership people leaving. Anyone has any tea besides the cost cutting reason?
How many of you feel like a lot of managers don't do a thing?
They seem to just relay messages from one level to the next and they think that's work. A lot of them just do their little townhalls never to be seen/heard of again and never seeking any type of tangible improvement or ideas in their departments. And... — read more
