@cuxh+1r38LeNN I 100% agree. I've never heard of anything like this before until this company. It's bafflingly that the experienced, skilled, and competent workers get crapped upon while the crony-cliques move up at rapid speed. I have worked with many who fall in the area you discussed and I don't even know how they got past entry-level positions. On the flipside, I know many who are overlooked because they don't su-k up or tell higher ups what they want to hear. This place is like a bad reality tv show. Lol.

Post ID: @4kwv+1r38LeNN Here's a better one to top your post about Chief of Staff roles (Super Admin Assistants) SVPs getting promoted to higher roles as Chief of Staff: Actual Admin Assistants (nice euphemism for the mundane real word: Secretary) getting promoted directly to VP or SVP without having to go through the process of having to learn the work, capabilities and earn the titles and salaries through the Corporate Ladder of Analyst/Associate, then AVP, then VP etc.. This Only happens in Citibank or rather,
Sh!tibank. In Goldman and JPMC, it could take 5 to 10 years for an Admin Assistant/Secretary to be promoted to Associate. But at Citi, due to cronyism, nepotism, favoritism and clicks, even those with No, negligible or non-relevant "skills" will get promoted. There's a pattern. The companies that do this and where it's BAU and pervasive end up Extinct: Bear Stearns, Lehman, Gruntal, Wachovia, etc. What's worse is that the lack of or low professionalism and integrity lead to malfeasance and a multitude of regulatory and compliance problems. This is happening to Citi now with its multitude of Consent Orders, regular orders/mandates, violations, monetary fines, etc. from the FRB, OCC and other regulatory agencies including those in Europe. The Grim Reaper is staring at Citi and motioning for Citi to come home to him. ROTFLMFAO !

What about chief of staff roles (i.e. super admin assistants) getting promoted from SVP to other higher roles? I though the media said that COS was a target area for layoffs. Seems like their bosses looked out for them. Smh

Be kind people. It's not a secret that we usually give a bump in position/title (but not usually salary) before letting people go.
It does help them find something to make a living rather been stuck with a title of "Mainframe programmer" which effectively makes them unemployable.
