Someone posted on fishbowl that full return to office in 2027. Does that mean remote workers would have to relocate to keep jobs? Or do you think just those hybrid will be required 5 days a week.

But as Post ID: @h1+1kpzy824r said, the high performers/achievers (those with in demand skills, knowledge and work experience) will be the first employees to quit because they can land jobs faster than low quality workers.
Citi is Sh00ting itself in the foot if it RTO's 5 days per week. Citi will lose its best employees, the ones Citi is counting on to fix Citi's problems.
3 days per week is bad enough.
This is what they want. They keep turning the sc--ws so you will do them a favor and quit resulting in a massive save in severance payouts.
I could potentially earn nearly double my current salary by working on contract with other companies, which makes the value proposition here harder to justify. The main advantage Citi offers is its relatively flexible hybrid working policy.
That said, the workplace culture has significant issues. Favoritism appears to influence promotions and opportunities, with advancement often seeming reserved for personal networks rather than performance. This undermines morale and trust.
If a full return-to-office policy were enforced, it would likely drive away high achievers first, as they tend to have the most external opportunities and flexibility.
If you're a telecommuter with no access to an office, you'll eventually get RIF'd. Ask me how I know. With all the RTO it creates angst almost everyone else who has to go into an office while you don't and is complete opposite of message. I know people who have moved to a site, on their own dime, only to be laid off anyway. Citi is disgusting.
@bb hey happened to me once already weird, but I like checking in on the scoop even in retirement
I can see Citi doing 4 days in office.
@b1 kicked me out many times. It’s because you haven’t verified your email recently. You wouldn’t be able to if you’ve left but for reasons unknown they reinstate you after some time and the cycle continues.
For some reason I got kicked out of the fishbowl and now I can’t get back in :(
If it’s going to full RTO, then why not work for some other company for more money under the same policy? 100K /w full RTO or 150K /w full RTO. Gee….hmmm…I dunno…
Remote work and hybrid work is the only thing Citi has going for it. If they mess with that, then why stay when you can leave for more money?
People on this site moan and moan about not being able to transition to another team, location or role. If they spent as much time looking for employment outside of Citi as they do for a transition inside of Citi, they may have found something by now.
so completely depends on your HQ but San Antonio and Irving both don't have the capacity to hold all employees 5 days a week. So I don't see them doing full RTO maybe full Hybrid for all employees is possible.
If there‘s no gas to drive to the office then it’s 5 days WfH 🧑💻
Doubt it
