Thread regarding Citigroup Inc. / Citibank / Citi layoffs

Sure, tell yourself that "we" hahaha you must be the worker bee... Just keep drinking your ovaltine as you are gonna need your energy to get thru all the work

@nbd+1qELnZ4m As a leader the pronoun should of been “we” and not “they”. “We” as a team will self organize and figure this out together.

Your poor management and lack of leadership skills is part of Citi’s problem.

I do feel stressed being a boss, but hey I will have to use the resources that I have left. THey will have to work harder and smarter to get by!

What needs to happen is the one thing that will never happen. Workers need to put in 8-10 hours per day and no more regardless of deadlines. If everyone works massive hours all day every day including weekends, it gives the impression that we have more than enough people to get the job done.

It’ll never happen though as Citi manages out of fear and are quick to remind you that “better do it, or you’re next” and people step in line out of fear of not providing for their families.

This is Citi, motivate out of fear rather than motivate by treating their people well.

I got up early and am in the office. When the tough gets going this guy buckles down. This is not forever and I can do it!!!

Managers are in a no win situation. After given less than lackluster end of the year rewards for working hard, how do you motivate people to put in long hours to pick up the slack from those you let go. The threat of “do it or you yourself will be let go” only goes so far. It makes you work just hard enough to keep from getting fired.
