Had worked for two clients (both financial ) in Texas so far always feel fucking hostile environment in work place. is it a central region/Texas thing. Everyone has there own agenda, politics, throwing people under bus, stealing credit of other people’s works, boot licking culture and partiality nature. And management including technical managers too think they are center of world and think they are moving the world civilization 🌎 to a level 5 on kardashev scale. backstory: Moved to Texas in May 2022 to save my ass from H1b obligations joined a tier-3/ third grade Indian mnc (most nonsense corporation) for operations role all okish for 2-3 months then moved to a little better tier-2.85 Indian mnc- supporting C(un)TI bank (I was the only person representing on client side) thinking it would be better place. Regret the decision from day one. Day one: (vpn access setup via zoom) Just got Remote access setup . No other permission or access entitlements provided and had nothing to do so logged off after couple of hours. gets an email from turd micro managing Citi manager/ SVP asking to be more proactive & efficient and speed up to assist team. (I was like WTF! I didn’t even got any entitlements/access. How do I come up to speed and assist. I thought this project was a shit show and feel like I was setup for failure.) I literally felt suffocated everyday and mentally hogged. Even couple of citi colleagues are bunch of lunatics who never share any info and always try to steal credit despite you doing the work and play politics and obviously you can guess these people always are boss ass lickers. No one gave Knowledge transfer or briefing had to figure out all by myself and to added bonus is that all will gang up on of you forgot to put some random shit like punctuation marks in Servicenow(SNOW) change process. That is what they care about 😅. Anyways In the job I always tried to do extra mile put in more hours & oncall rotations (unpaid) and multi day on-site work. But was clueless end of the day regarding what these lunatics wants/expecting despite completing my works all the times. So inbetween I started to look out for positions outside so I can be on safe side. but things didn’t happen some due to visa constraints and some due to technical. At one point a month back suddenly things are normalizing as friction got less in the office, people being normal, getting more work assigned to me and scopein for more future task looking good atleast until next year or so stopped looking for job change. And suddenly last Friday when I went to grab lunch my accesses were removed and I was let go of the project. I was like man not even a single day of notice? Really WTF is wrong with these CiTi people. I get it that there might be security reason or blah blah blah whatever but we are also people too and that too I am on a work visa. How can people be so non empathetic. It took me a few hours to process it. And just FYI I didn’t created any breach or outage in my retrospection so no clue what went wrong. Got the usual BS saying budget issue response from these CiTi folks (really are you that clueless until last minute !) All this time the Citi SVP/ manger was always used to be wishy washy with me (not that I care of that asshole) and used to be in favor of his boot licking minions despite he being dumb and stupid. he infact waited 3- months for this one credit stealing, manipulating minion to come back and join. This post is not about my ranting or vent off just want to convey how fucking people are here.
What's the name of that hillbilly SVP. DM me.
