I recently left a business execution role in Citi Wealth because the culture is chaotic, dysfunctional, and fundamentally toxic. I worked at another big bank for 12 years before coming here and I don’t know how to describe that everything here is surreal, almost fake. If you are part of a project, it’s impossible to…
I’m a senior HR business partner at Citi. I want to discuss the two lawsuits that are everywhere in social media. Bravo to these courageous women because their fight is talked about constantly in HR circles. I support them, I do, but they need to know what they’re up against. This will be the fight…
2/2 This is the second story I am submitting. The first one related to a senior executive at Citi who told his assistant to tell me his budget was not approved after I would not perform a sexual act, while he propositioned me as we were working on a board deck. He still holds an…
1/2 I worked for a senior executive in technology for one large back in late 2000s- as his right hand management consultant – driving strategy, managing and rescuing all his failing programs being available all the time. One day he asked me to suck his p*nis while we were working on a board presentation. I…
Thank you to this remarkable community of women, allies and friends! There are days I have felt like I was on crazy pills – these stories make me realize I am not alone.
As an early contributor to this site, I’ll take a guess that Citi’s C-suite is at least aware of it by now. I don’t believe for a second that any of them care in terms of culture, employees, or even customers. These are Careless People, focused on their own compensation and that of their cronies….
Former Director and people manager. For those unaware of Citi’s officer title structure, its highest position is Managing Director, followed by Director, SVP, VP. Citi has a nasty habit of eliminating jobs held by Managing Directors and Directors and reposting those same positions as lower-ranking Director or SVP roles. Same work and responsibilities, lower pay…
I worked in a senior role at Citi delivering programs that supported thousands of employees. Over time, my workload increased significantly while opportunities for advancement and recognition stalled. The narrative around my performance began shifting in ways that did not reflect the work being delivered. Decisions affecting my role were increasingly made without transparency. Eventually…
Female. At Citi for more than ten years. UK. At one point my manager a male MD pursued me relentlessly. I did not report it. My belief, right or wrong, was that HR existed primarily to protect the senior person, not me. Speaking up felt indistinguishable from career suicide, so I handled the situation quietly…
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…
