I love my team and my colleagues but can’t stand Citi.

My colleague left Citi at the same salary but with a better piece of mind where he is at. He’s trying really hard to help bring me on board. I so hope that it happens.

A lot of years we have “record revenue” and profits are high but we get measly 1% pay increases and not a great bonus payout at all, especially for the hours put in. Why would that incentivize me to be “customer obsessed”? This being even more so to see what Jane makes not in just salary but also bonus and stock awards all to get us where we are now on a massive layoff or managed out “train” that she dares us to “get off of”.

What motivation do I have to do more than just enough to keep from getting fired? None.

I feel the reverse. I love remote work and citi but i hate my vps...

I think this pertains to half the company. They love the team they are on but can’t stand the company.

Job “A” - -pays 90K per year. Average work week hours is 60. = 31.25 per hour.
Job “B” - -same job, pays 90K per year. Average work week is 40.= 46.87 per hour.

You are getting paid more per hour at Job “B” as you are putting in less hours per week even though the role is the same. Job “B” gives you more free time\work life balance. Job “B” is the winner in regards to salary vs. hours worked if the company is well established regardless of size.

Now benefits are something else. I know Citi mgmt THINKS that they offer competitive benefits but they do not. They are average at best. The insurance offered and 6% matching 401K is cookie cutter offerings for most companies.

IMHO, if Job “B” offers insurance around the same coverage, the same pay, at less hours per week…I’d go with Job “B” without blinking an eye. There’s nothing for me to think about. I could even forego the 6% matching 401K, while its appreciated the sacrifice of my health and personal time is not a fair trade off for that 6%.

I disagree, he’s paid the same but works from home and if he works more than 40 hrs per week management has a concern that he’s doing too much at the risk of burnout.

This is very unlike Citi which pushes you to always work more than 40 hours per week with no concern for your well being.

Not to brag but I have some considerable skills and Citi will not benefit from them fully so long as they insist I give the bulk of my waking hours to the job for peanut pay. One way or another, I’m gone. I’m just angling for it to be on my timeline.

I hope he takes you over soon so you can ve happy. I'm guessing, however, that after a few months or even years, you will see it's the same bs. Anyone else tells you otherwise, they're not being truthful. Good luck.

Well said Op.
So do the bare minimum just as Citi gives you the bare minimum.
