Capping 401k - is this just the start?
I find it interesting they decided to cap 401k match at 12k. I know it only impacts high earners but I am wondering what is next. What else do they want to save money on? Our benefits already lack our peers. No pension and now a sh---y 401k =a... — read more

Compensation
From starting Monday (Jan 13), all of your direct manager will reach out to you for the discussion about the hike and bonus for 2025. Be Ready !!!!
True happiness at work comes from feeling valued , not just employed.
Just food for thought as you get low balled on comps and re-leveled at a reduced salary. Enjoy.
If your rank is a 1 or 2, can h/r still
Low ball you with compensation and bonus?
EOY rating vs compensation
There is HOW (Leadership) WHAT ( Risk/Financial/Client) does it matter and does it do anything if I have 3/3/2/3 or is it still 3/3 ?
3/3 rating and best review ever
Usually a 2/2 but 3/3 this year. However, I had the best feedback from a manager ever. All praise. I know some say a 3/3 is not bad, but nothing in the feedback was negative. Oh well, not surprised. I try but people can tell this extended... — read more

It does not matter unless you are in sales
Go above and beyond your role to help others across business or silos, volunteer as a leader in an affinity group, receive accolades for innovation….. none matters when your boss says “i had to mark you down nothing i can do about it.” If you don’t... — read more

Do you not find it strange about lower rating, remaining quiet about any bonuses coming up. Being more strict about return to office. I remember managers reviewing attendance at the end of the year last year and had meeting with employees that were... — read more
4/3 PIP
are people with a 4/3 and on a pip, eligible for internal mobility. I would imagine it would be hard if a hiring manager asks for a rating.. but curious as a matter of policy, is internal mobility allowed.
In-seat Promotion
Any idea? What will be the no# this time.
Chase is back to 5 days a week in office.
For a segment about Chase they mention Citi extensively. I really hope we don't move this direction, but if we get a new CEO it will happen in short order. https://youtu.be/8vwEbP9nfuY?si=8gcNJcUo_K9IpNUo
Sick of Citi
Someone emailed me today and asked me a question. I'm over it!
What are the biggest drawbacks to retiring early?
I'm not there yet, but I'm surprised more people are not doing it. I'm wondering why.

All this talk about reduced salary and no bonus' this year, but has anyone actually seen their salary cut? Or gotten a 0% incentive that can speak out of their mouth instead of the ar-e?

Sioux Falls
How’s Citi in Sioux Falls? Thinking of coming over.
No spark, no direction
