As these rates continue to stay high, we're likely to see more and more job cuts (although nothing like that, 20k over two years is insane).

We're living in an Orwellian prophecy.

It was supposed to be a warning, not a blueprint.

Citi Bank

Citi bank stock is up 10+% over the last month. If you’re struggling in this economy you are doing something horribly wrong.
Sorry to hear Heisman U is poor.

The cuts were in place prior to losses and contributed to the loss.

quote:

Citigroup reported a net loss for the fourth quarter of $1.8 billion. The loss comes after Citigroup previously disclosed a litany of one-time charges, which included a $780 million charge due to severance and other costs related to its restructuring efforts.

Citigroup reported revenue of $17.4 billion. Wall Street analysts expected Citi to report earnings per share of 10 cents and revenue of $18.7 billion.

The company is in the midst of a turnaround effort under CEO Jane Fraser, who has moved to cut layers of management and staffing and reorganize the business.

Citi reported a slew of charges and hits to earnings, including a $1.7 billion FDIC special assessment, a reserve build of $1.3 billion associated with "transfer risk" in Russia and Argentina, and a hit of $880 million associated with the devaluation of the Argentine peso. All told, the charges and losses shaved $2 off earnings per share. Without those items, Citi said, EPS would have been $0.84 in the quarter.

Citi added that revenue decreased 3% from the year-ago period but would have increased 2% excluding divestitures and the impact of Argentina's peso devaluation.

That will get calculated as a 20,000 job increase in the jobs report.

Fairly disingenuous to leave out that those 20k are over 2 years. Still sucks, feel badly for those affected

This is attributable to a massive restructuring that should have happened years ago. They collapsed management layers from 12 to 8 and realign the business units to reduce management redundancies in all the countries they operate in. Citi is by far off the most international of the big U.S. money center banks. They had multiple management redundancies with business lines and in-country management. They have already agreed to sell Banamex which transfer out another 20,000 employees by 2025
