If citi going to be sold (by bits and pieces or whatever) or things are going bad and if that is an open secret (as per this site) who and what is the driving force still? I know my manager is an a--hole who comes to ofc and be happy that re org gave him an opportunity to get a subordinate to humiliate, belittling my effort. You can't imagine what all things he raise concern when he doesn't get a valid point to raise concern. But what about others? Higher management/ middle management what are they looking for? Aren't they seeing it coming?

Whoa there……your time off is part of your negotiated salary. If your manager has an issue with you taking time off, then go to HR as well as the ethics hotline. Naturally you can’t rely much on HR to help you as they are quite useless but you are establishing a paper trail. An established history of your attempts to rectify the situation.
Make sure to jot down the dates and times and who you contacted for your own records.
This will help you in any litigation in the future. You can relate to the courts as to how your manager, who is a active representative of Citi culture, has created a hostile working environment.
Sue for harassment, stress and anguish plus legal fees. Start creating a list of witnesses and contacts. Sue for millions but be willing to settle out of court for half.
I think it will be difficult to get rid of these managers/leaders. They know how to navigate and survive here. Experience and personal favors goes a long way here. Its easier to get rid of the one accusing over someone who is well protected and known in the team/department.
Ive noticed that Citi managers are low quality. Not all but more than 75% are just old timers who were promoted because they were at the right place at the right time. Most of these men and women have no degrees and no experience outside of Citi. Its really a sad sad reality and until Citi gets rid of those people Citi will not get better.
@1hnj+1t39b7H1 Well said, you sad it as it is.
Same reason as many employees that are still in the bank. Just to get a steady paycheck and make moves in their personal lives. Those managers are getting paid the top dollar and will ride the train until the very end to get their payout. Once it’s over, they will look for their next gig. Same as any other employee that is still there. Market is tough and this is the best thing in their current situation. If the economy was better, many would have left a long time ago.
Managers are the hand picked bloody sh-t (yes it's u the re org manager),and the biggest sh-t are those who did this hand picking
The driving force is the inevitable downgrade by the regulators. Managers are all hand picked and no longer hold their positions because of their ability to manage people. They are there to make your lives miserable and either make you quit or underperform so they can write you up and avoid severance payments. Watch your back and don’t trust anyone.
