Today I informed my current employer (staffing company) that moving to full time role at Citi. First thing he said is, ‘Citi is firing everyone, don’t come back if anything bad happens and also they don’t do GC’ Ppl working in Citi, pls give some hope if possible TC : 150K (C12) at NJ

And so what? Why you changing that is important! No one can say your old company will not have turbulence

Just move on. Learn a lot, seek to become an irreplaceable employee

Thank you, yes will try my best..

I do not work for Citi. You can check the layoff facts about Citi in the gov database. Irrespective, the employer is a bully and trying to threaten you. Do not fall for the bullying trap.

Join Citi. I worked there. You won’t lose your job. There’s a lot of work to do there and they need people. Work for until the situation gets better.

Congratulations on converting full time at another company, OP. I hope to be in the same boat after my contract is up. As far as I know, Citi is in a good position regarding job security, and even if you are laid off, the severance will allow you to live well until the market corrects again. Anything can happen, and I’d suggest having back up options for areas to ride out your GC situation if anything happens. Good luck! TC: 90K, on a C2H role myself

What’s citi’s severance like?

Birlasoft rtlife OP Apr 14, 2023

Thank you so much for your words.. ya my current TC is 85k..

I haven’t heard of any layoffs. It’s a big company tho so you never know.

GCs could be a challenge but not impossible. Sounds like a sore loser trying to discourage you!
