Story 148
Can I appeal to women in the West to share this platform link with their Asian counterparts and their banker friends in the Asian Financial hubs? I was a Private banker at an Asian local private bank and was terminated in an inhumane way because I raised a whistleblower complaint about sexual harassment against a senior MD. The bank botched the investigation and terminated my contract.…

I’ve read Story 144 a dozen times. The author should get a Pulitzer for accurately capturing what an insane asylum Citi is. It needs to get posted on Reddit.

Happy to hear the press is interested. I sit in Tampa. This place is not normal.

Story 145
I am a female C16 employee at Citi. I submitted formal ethics complaints regarding two male managers for conduct I believe constituted serious gender bias and discrimination. I was recently informed by HR that both individuals were cleared without qualification. I am unable to describe the full extent of the discriminatory behavior, as doing so would make my identity readily identifiable and would likely expose me…

Story 144
I worked at Citi for a number of years and I feel like I will be unwinding the brain damage for years to come. I am admittedly naive when it comes to corporate culture: do the work, keep your nose clean, reap the benefits. That is, in fact, how I successfully navigated my career of promotions and opportunities until that point. I wish I could say…

Story 143
Watching the grilling of Pam Bondi by Congress was inspirational. This is the level of scrutiny that should be applied to raised concerns at Citi—but they’ve rigged the game so it seldom happens. The arbitration clause exists to cover all manners of corporate sins. The release they want you to sign is the lid on the coffin. They’re protecting themselves before you even begin working there…

Story 142
I was covering a role temporarily as a favor to my boss, on top of my regular work. When asked if I wanted to keep it and I said no, I was layered under someone recognized to be less qualified—without warning. This wouldn’t have happened had I been an Indian male, younger. When challenged, my boss told Ethics I’d been “given a choice.” A choice without…

Story 141
My manager, knowing full well I was under-employed in my current position, asked if I saw a future for myself at Citi, clearly trying to gauge whether I’d quit. On the day of performance roundtables, he walked over to my desk and asked point blank if I wanted to leave, shortly after I raised concerns through official channels. I had been documenting everything. The timing was…

Story 140
The Consent Order Problem No One Wants to Discuss I was hired for specialized regulatory work. My background was exactly what the firm needed. An older colleague pulled me aside one day and said something I’ll never forget: “Citi doesn’t want outside ideas. Let your manager present your work as theirs.” I initially thought they were giving me political advice. Then I realized they were explaining…
