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 leader who can’t find time for team meetings but reliably prioritizes three-hour lunches with an entourage in tow.
It looks like jeans worn the way no dress code would permit (picture — or not ! — a plump plumber) because the dress code, like every other rule, is for the Tampa birds.
The insanity is the logical output of a place where accountability has never been enforced.
Membership in the fraternity, yacking loudly in [a language that is not English] in the office, inclusive only of your kin — a badge of honor.
