Story 368

The Citi managing director who drugged and raped women was sentenced today.

The company’s response?

“We cooperated with law enforcement as they sought justice for the victims of these heinous crimes.”

How noble.

It’s amazing how quickly institutions discover their moral compass once the FBI is involved.

I bet a million bucks this wasn’t the first red flag. No doubt this is what happened when the women he worked with complained: they were discounted, minimized, and ignored – until men with badges and subpoenas arrive. Then everyone is suddenly “cooperating.”

What impeccable timing. Fortunately, for them, his LinkedIn says he still works there, hahaha.

    I saw Citi posted record earnings today. Good for them. Anyone, like me, who chooses to work at a bank is a capitalist so no judgment.

    This week, Fortune published a favorable profile of Jane Fraser and Citi’s turnaround. It is worth reading — for what it chooses not to examine. For investors, Fortune provides the “What” — the plan, the metrics, the narrative arc. What it does not provide is the “How” — the friction, the trust deficit, the litigation…

    Story 199 resonated with me. I recently left BNY after many, many years. It is an extremely toxic environment, where speaking up puts a target on your back. There are certain issues you can never speak of – anything around talent retention and recruitment, or just staffing in general. If you have been in the…

    My daughter told me about Ardith Lindsey’s case. I am one of the Bible Study grandma’s who posted early support to this site. If it’s true that Citigroup let a male employee quit with distinction after seeing the terrible text messages he sent where her life and children’s were threatened – only for Citi to…

    I noticed that [REDACTED] is back in the news – seems to be a regular occurrence since he started at Citi. https://www.ft.com/content/eb00f768-9026-4de1-a6ee-3b76d7ce97e6?syn-25a6b1a6=1. It is both fascinating and validating to see him get some comeuppance. As a retired employee relations manager at Merrill Lynch, I do wonder what’s finally shifted to bring his “management style” to…

    I was laid off by Citi in January, 2024. I was 69 at the time and had a combined 45 years of tenure dating back to Shearson. I had recently chosen to leave a Regional Director position managing the state of CA for Wealth Management. I was very highly regarded by my team, my colleagues…
