Story 241

Re: Story 238—I was a business analyst on Julia Carreon’s team when she was ousted from Citi. The situation was abrupt and unusual, and it left everyone with the sense that something serious had happened. I’ve been waiting to see if her name surfaced on this platform so I could show my support.

She is one of the most effective MDs Citi has ever had, and she consistently treated people with dignity and respect—something that is all too rare at the firm. I’m very glad to see this write-up by Mr. Sanders; it presents her case in a clear and measured way. What’s left of our team is rooting for her. We will all be begging for jobs when she surfaces elsewhere.

    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. That said, it’s fair to ask whether the firm might be even more successful if it reinvested just some of those profits into meaningfully improving its culture, rather than…

    To Story 215, Citi knows regulators don’t care because of who is in the White House. I also think its C-suite – especially Jane – gets off on the desperation and sadness in these stories; in their mind, anyone who doesn’t like the place simply isn’t up to snuff. I do, however, think it makes…

    These stories are horrific, disturbing, and just foul. Many are violent and highly sexual in nature. That alone should concern all of us. But beyond the content itself, we need to be honest about the purpose of collecting and amplifying them in a public space If the intent is to “open the floodgates,” then there…
