‘Pink’ is the colour at Citibank

Author Name: Anurag Bhullar



Loss of USD 20 billion which Citibank suffered due to turbulences in banking sector is destined to fall heavy on employees. The investment sector giant has already sent 23,000 employees and at a meeting held recently in Washington, it made announcement of handing over ‘pink slips’ for yet another 52,000 employees.

The company may shed off about 14% of the total work force of three lacs. The stock’s value of this Vikram Pandit headed bank has decreased by 75% in last four quarters. In an interview with CNBC, he informed employees that they better ‘pull up socks’, as he was not sure of when the golden days would be back again.

However, despite the difficult situation the company is facing, CEO Vikram Pandit said that the start of 2009 is far better than that of 2008. Another ‘silver line’ in this dark cloud of ‘lay-off spree’ is the expected 20% decrease in expenses that is to come out of the ‘lessened’ work force.
