Story 354

New here. Former Citi employee who felt like I was in the Twilight Zone every single day, not just because of the toxicity. But the bizarre dynamic that MDs bark at “the little people” all day to do *their* work, while *they* mingle, attend *important* meetings, lunch – and after lunch blame said-little-people that he/she missed the mark on whatever thing they, themselves would be expected to do at any other company.

I am just glad I found it here; at least I know I am not the crazy one. And, no, kids – every bank is not this dysfunctional. I’ve worked at two others.

P.S. SLT is so corrupt I don’t think they give a damn about these stories. Actually, I’m sure they’re mocking of anyone who is posting. That said, I’m sure this site’s existence makes them apoplectic and, that, my friends is priceless.

We are in touch with her attorneys in case there’s information helpful to her case. We never ran the story because it felt unauthentic. It’s also not the first…

    2/2 Palantir published a wildly unhinged manifesto today, which asserts software companies should help run national defense — and that society should reorganize itself around that idea, including bringing back the draft.

From my perspective, there were troubling signs that technology funds were being misused and that established technology governance processes were being bypassed. Given the scale of the spending involved – tens…

    Important story in the Financial Times today about the weaponization of Citi’s CSIS department. “CSIS’s stated goal is to “to protect the employees, assets, information, integrity and reputation of Citi and its clients”. But in interviews with the FT, current and former employees questioned how the unit is deployed and whether it places the bank’s…

    Re: Story 176 – yes, I noticed it too. When a Chief Legal Officer publicly endorses the LinkedIn post of a senior leader facing active discrimination allegations, it stops being a casual gesture and becomes an institutional statement. [REDACTED], Citi’s CLO, is among the male senior leaders visibly rallying around [REDACTED] on LinkedIn — a…

    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…
