To cut the Citi Indian contractors / IIT grads being better bullsh-t...

Jane is doubling down on the Citi culture.
In burnout cultures, such as Citi, people are judged by the sacrifices they make. Hobbies, vacations and even family are viewed as distractions to penalize. I healthy cultures, people are judged by the commitments they keep. Interests outside of... — read more
They eliminated a lot of the managers at the bottom of the hierarchy who actually knew what they were managing and doing
and left all these middle managers who have no clue what the employee duties actually entail. So while the idea of eliminating the layers of management wasn't really a bad one, the execution ended up leaving the clueless least innovative ones in... — read more

Reorged to a weird team dynamic
Recently reorged to a team with a strange dynamic. My superiors are all about hierarchy - recently been told to not directly engage with anyone from upper management without going through direct manager first. Yo Citi is weird. Been at a few banks... — read more

Everyone, go check your “IUO” status
If you were told ur safe, go look in global directory to see if you have the letters “IUO” in your email domain. I am interested in hearing from people who were told that they were safe and yet now see these letters =|.
The contractor/FTE ratio in pbwm tech is insane
The entire org was run with 80% contractors from Indian It companies with a bad rep. Some were sitting on bench for an entire year but they weren’t let go. Instead hardworking FTEs were let go. Management is crazy and dragging the company to sh-t for... — read more
Quotes of great minds vs Jane motivational direction. In comparison, Jane’s quote really sets Citi apart.
Einstein: We can't solve today's problems with the mentality that created them. Bill Gates: “It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure." Steve Jobs: “Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t... — read more
In weak companies, politics win. In strong companies, the best ideas win.
Its for this reason, under this current regime (Jane), Citi will fail. Its time to get rid of the antiquated thinking and political agendas. It’s time to level up on CEO quality and you’re not going to get that with the status quo. The talent... — read more

Who cares actual results besides Jane and her directs
Something about this Org went wrong. Talkers got to the leader position but the new manager told me he does not care about I do but how he feels about me because shareholder never knew what is actually going on. What is going on in Citi?
Presentation vs. result
Do citi care about the people who resolved problems? I see all talkers are promoted to managerial position in this reorg!
Decrease in pay if they illuminate your directs
Has anyone heard any rumors about this? I’m wondering if Citi will do this or if they legally can. I just assume they’ll decrease the bonus instead of a pay decrease.
Some say they felt their time at Citi was coming to an end.
What were the signs you noticed that made you come to that conclusion and were you right?
Reduced Rate
Help, do they pay a reduced rate while on notice?
What does "IUO" in your email address mean?
Someone on here several weeks ago claimed that if you went into Global Directory, you could tell that someone had been laid off if you looked at their email address and it said, "@iuo.citi.com" instead of just "@citi.com". Today, I noticed that... — read more
They're flattening the manager layers by taking their manager title from many
and keeping them managing people and being in charge of the same function they used to manage. This is absurd. Then the managers that had less than 6 people are poaching people from wherever they can to keep their job even though the functions of... — read more
Culture Erosion, Permeation of Fear, and Guesses for Next Round of Layoffs?
My team dynamic has changed significantly. Everyone is quiet, there is no camaraderie, and a tangible feeling of people either not wanting to do or say the wrong thing, or if you do say or do the possibly wrong thing, everyone else is quiet to see... — read more
Working/Non-Working Period and Severance Pay
Anybody else find this working (last date is April 12, 2024)/non-working period (last date with Citi is June 29, 2024) confusing? Severance won't be paid until June 29th? HR doesn't know if you can file for unemployment during your working and... — read more

Development plan - can it be a trap?
