Story 286

I’ve been out of the country for a while and am just getting caught up. Did Jane Fraser really end up hiring a second polarizing figure as her potential successor at Citi? The Financial Times piece on [REDACTED], the head of investment banking, is a wild ride. And is it true she paid him a $42 million signing bonus that may have been unnecessary? Mercy.

At the same time, her head of wealth management has driven out a number of high-profile women, faced incessant negative press, and allegedly needs a reorganization every quarter in order to hit his numbers. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out — two Dog-Eat-Dog leaders competing for the top role.

Got to love two mediocre angry entitled men who need mommy to cover for them. But what happens when mommy figures out her job is in jeopardy because she made the wrong bet? Then what?

Happy Investor Day to all who celebrate!

    This story is about a senior woman in Citi’s Commercial Bank, whom I met through a women’s network there. At a professional gathering, a male colleague grabbed her and force-kissed her. Drunk. No ambiguity about what happened. The next morning he came in, sat down, and said nothing. Not an acknowledgment. Not an apology. Just…

    The Government Contractor Shield Citi invoked government contractor status to mandate COVID vaccines — a legally and politically contentious decision that affected every employee globally. It was framed as compliance obligation rather than corporate choice. The message being: our hands are tied by our relationship with the government. Then when the Trump administration dismantled DEI…

    Hello, in the story pertaining to the “Indian Mafia” in Technology at Citi, I can absolutely confirm this is true. I myself am Indian and the way the men currently treat women at Citi should be fully investigated. While I do not conduct myself this way or manner I have witnessed blatant discrimination and full…

    Story 59 is familiar. Male MD in Citi’s London wealth office who left in 2024. I spent a ton of time and effort in 2021/2022 hiring women off the back of Fraser’s very public DEI push, only to be told by new management in late 2023 to wipe them all out. Pretty brutal whiplash. I…
