Story 70

Citi employee here. Bonus numbers just dropped, so now we get to see who’s getting shoved out. Just heard a senior guy — hundreds of people under him — was quietly shown the door. This is the same guy who disappeared last year after an alleged affair with someone who reported to him.

And of course, Citi being Citi, they didn’t fire him. They let him stroll back in, grab his bonus, and walk out with everything intact.

Meanwhile, women get tossed out for basically breathing wrong.

Whoever built this site, thank you. The rot in this place is unreal. I hope an army of women start sharing now that bonuses have been announced.
