Story 262
I will proudly contribute one positive story to Citi’s broken narrative: the women who work here are incredible, besides Fraser and her despotic head of HR, [REDACTED], who is clearly not right upstairs. The Indian women are particularly great. They work harder than anyone without credit and are beacons of what smart, humble, decent leaders do.

Story 261
It looks like story 258 is referring to the Tampa office, but I want to echo what they describe about the Tech & Data culture. I’m an Indian woman who studied at a top IIT. I was relocated from Madras to the Dallas office in 2019. What people say about an “Indian mafia” probably sounds offensive to everyday people, but what it’s getting at is a…

Story 260
Dear Editor – I made one important addition to story 257. Kindly substitute: A male MD told me that what I was complaining about at Citi is the same at every other large bank. He questioned whether I’d ever worked at one before — implying I was naive or uninformed about how the world works. At my age and level of experience, I am neither naive…

Story 259
My wife and I are both in the business. She showed me story 257 because she knew it would make me laugh. I moved to Citi from BofA after the financial crisis and can only describe it as landing on Mars—stripped naked, with a single bottle of water, staring at a sign that says: “Good luck.” Nothing makes sense. There are zero referral sources for bankers,…

Story 258
I agree with Story 256. Someone unfamiliar with Citi’s culture might think the incidents are too outrageous to be believed. And yet. They are true and there is worse. I had never thought I’d live to experience anything like it. Setting aside the gendered misconduct for a moment, what does that culture look like on the ground? In Tech & Data, it looks like a senior…

A male MD told me that what I was complaining about at Citi is the same at every other large bank. He questioned whether I’d ever worked at one before — implying I was naive or uninformed about how the world works. At my age and level of experience, I am neither naive nor uninformed anymore. I want to name what that comment does, because it…

Editor’s Note
To Story 247: Thank you for your new submission but we are declining to post it as the primary purpose of this platform is not to debate transcendentalism. Enjoy your weekend!

Story 256
I’m one of several women at a Citi location in the U.S. who experienced sustained harassment from a senior leader who was repeatedly given a pass despite repeated HR violations. I’m not naming the location out of concern about retaliation but if I did, the ER personnel would know exactly what I mean. One told me they are drowning in complaints. I spent today re-reading stories,…

Story 255
Our boss, [REDACTED], Citi’s Head of Wealth, is in Las Vegas today at a Google event. If the media is present, it would be worth asking directly what happened to the Private Bank’s abruptly departed U.S. head in 2024. Did he, or did he not, engage in inappropriate conduct toward a junior analyst within four months of joining? And did Citi, in fact, pay him a…

Story 254
To Story 252: know that you aren’t alone—and you aren’t “crazy”. The “gaslighting” of an altered performance review is a classic corporate tactic used to create a paper trail for future termination or to justify withholding bonuses/promotions. 1. Ensure those screenshots and logs are saved on a personal device.2. Send a firm, professional follow-up to HR. Mention that the lack of acknowledgment in 150 days is…
