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 superior and their tone is just disrespectful. (ie. treat you like they're your master).
Not sure if it's culturally related or superiority complex.
But if I see a person talk to anyone this one, my respect for them goes down the drain real fast.
If you talk to me that way, I'm going to give you the most politically correct, office crafted FU in the nicest way possible.
If you treat people like sh-t, and they stay. All you have left is people who are working there unwillingly, or people who have low skill ceiling.
Then again, giving the lowest amount of effor possible is a common sentiment on this forum.
God bless, and see you guys on the outside!
