When concerns about bullying, harassment, and discriminatory conduct were raised at Citi (former USPB), HR’s response was predictable and scripted: invoke an MD’s prerogative, then delegate the complaint perfunctorily to junior personnel without the seniority, authority, or institutional standing to challenge a managing director with a documented history of exactly what was being reported. You…
To story 307, I went through the exact same in another group, we are not liars or crazy. With all the proof in the world, HR will never ever investigate anything. In my case a lawyer got involved and I managed to leave on my own, but everything else is the same playbook. In my…
Citigroup New York — ICG Expense Management. My team served as trusted advisors to Global Markets businesses and senior leadership, delivering transparency into execution expense. My male manager fabricated complaints and a false performance review to push me out because my success threatened to expose his lies. He also called me an arsonist after my…
Dear Editor, I believe there is a typo in story 305, at the end, “were NOT a casualty”. Worth correcting.
Culture is set from the top. The [REDACTED] at Citi has apparently decided that’s not his job. When male colleagues sharing his same ethnic background ganged up on a newly hired Caucasian female director, their behavior was quickly dismissed as mere “misunderstandings.” They targeted her with culturally loaded micro-aggressions, commented that her professional suit was…
At one of the world’s largest technology companies in SV, my friend was invited to join what management called the “Innovation Circle,” a handpicked group of seven high-potential employees tasked with developing new products and strategic ideas. She was the only woman in the cohort. For nearly a year, she worked nights and weekends alongside…
Story 300, I remember you. Rumors are the Wealth COO ordered your hit. Remember how heady things were when [REDACTED] started? They couldn’t risk for anyone to dissent that he wasn’t our Lord & Savior. Hallelujah, amen! If you litigate for retaliation, you could get at least a dozen of us who still work here…
Is it just me, or does Citi seem more willing to settle matters involving regulators and clients while digging its heels in against employees—particularly women—who bring claims of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation? I guess like its Epstein lawyer, Paul Weiss, it doesn’t care how its own people are treated but the C-suite is worried about…
Dear Editor, for story 299, I forgot to specify USCC is with Citi. Would you kindly add it? For example here: The Head of Risk at Citi’s USCC. Thank you
I was a Business Analyst at Citi in 2023 when a new senior leader arrived with a great deal of fanfare. Almost immediately, I noticed that he paid an unusual amount of attention to several of the younger female analysts. One in particular stood out—a tall woman with honey-blonde hair and Eastern European accent. The…
