You know what p–s me off the most? We are disposable. Fine. We are usually the first budget line to go when there are cost cuts or reorg. Fine. But then nobody should expect us to bring expertise to a job. I haven’t had a feeling that I had learned something new or useful in ages. We are treated like cogs, tasks are more often than not badly organized and distributed, there is a lot of extra work or work done by one for three. If there has been a smart workforce retention and better organization, enabling us to grow professionally and hone our skills or improve our knowledge, the job market would look different, we would be more satisfied with our work, and companies would fare better. But for that, you would need competent management, focused on the company rather than their bonuses and golden parachutes.

Post ID: @1dcd+1qACLB49 Oh you mean do what the mediocre at best Citi employees do ? Citi can only attract and retain mostly employees from lower tier financial firms because those companies are worse off than Citi. And so those employees become Big Fish in the Citi Sh!tPond. Most of them couldn't get real jobs in JPMC, BofA, Goldman, etc.. If they did manage to somehow get hired into those companies most likely though sheer luck or nepotism, the Citi employees will be Little Sh!t - Turds in a Big Pond/Ocean, Not even Little Fish.
You mean amigo.
No i did not read the gibberish. Use CIti to get a better a job elsewhere. Stay there move up to boss get a bump when you leave. So try and move up and the out amiga
Post ID: @1dcd+1qACLB49 Did you read the part about: " It's a D3ad End company with D3ad End jobs with low range Salaries compared to Goldman, JPMC and other Competitors, joke Bonuses, No Promotions etc.. All you'll get are false hopes and empty promises from your "Managers". Citi is an employer for those with NO ambition. You'll be stuck in one D3ad End job after another even if you transfer within or between Departments. There's No incentive to stay at Citi ! " I already gave up on Citi. I've waited long enough for Godot.
IF this place is full of talentless people,and you are so amazing, why not compete and shine and rise to the top? BE a manager or something. Be a big fish in a big empty pond? Ya?
There's No future in Citi. It's a D3ad End company with D3ad End jobs with low range Salaries compared to Goldman, JPMC and other Competitors, joke Bonuses, No Promotions etc.. All you'll get are false hopes and empty promises from your "Managers". Citi is an employer for those with NO ambition. You'll be stuck in one D3ad End job after another even if you transfer within or between Departments. There's No incentive to stay at Citi ! Other Posters were incisive and on point: Citi's root cause problem is money or rather lack of money. It's Not profitable like its Competitors. Citi is a destitute, cheap Sh!tH0le ! Besides the fact that it's dysfunctional and has operational and regulatory problems along with mediocre at best employees compared to its Competitors.
To Post ID: @ntx+1qACLB49 That's exactly what I'm doing. I have a plan where heads I win, tails I win strategy. Just like other Posters, I'm skilling up and actively searching for Real Jobs with Higher Salary, Bonus etc. than in Citi. I figure it will take me at least 2 months in this economy to land a better job which is enough time for me. As in your post, I'm Quitting Citi and going elsewhere with my new and/or improved skills to make money for Citi's Competition. ROTFLMFAO !
To Post ID: @3vbb+1qvwCb So true. The only way up is Out of Citi. Employees will only hear and get empty promises and implications of good bonuses, promotions, salary increases, better work and better work environment, BullSh!t, BullSh!t, BullSh!t, yadda yadda yadda from the People "Managers". You know what the Beatles said, "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah". I just stay quiet and pretend I agree with my "Manager" when he does his cajoling song and dance to the whole team about good bonuses, promotions, salary increases, better work and better work environment, BullSh!t, BullSh!t, BullSh!t, yadda yadda yadda ! Because it does Not matter anymore. I gave up on Citi because No one in their right minds can wait for Godot forever for something that may or may Not (most likely NOT) happen. Wall Street and the equity research analysts have given up on Citi. Citi might Not even live long enough to see 2026 before it's gobbled up by a Competitor and/or more pieces, business lines are sold because even Citi waved the White Surrender Flag, recently sold off businesses and had to admit that its Competitors beat Citi in the Municipal Bond business, International Consumer Banking, etc.. So long Citi SVCKERS !!! But Not before I collect my WARN money and help increase that US $2+ Billion expense hit to Citi's Dog Stock Price if Citi decides to lay me off !

what did you pay for and what did you learn on your own time? Was it relevant to your job? Or did you say know the software and really did not and had to come up to speed?
Citi wants YOU to get your own training at your own dime and on your own time so that they can benefit from your skillset without having to pay for it. When you put on your review the training you took at your own expense and your own time, it means nothing.
Here’s the funny part. When you leave though and go elsewhere with your new found skills to make money for the competition, its a HUGE mystery for management as they are at a complete loss as to why they can’t retain top talent. Its an unsolvable unknown conundrum that they can never get to the root to. So much for forward thinking.
