2118 bank branches closed so far this year with 60,000 layoffs and huge losses. A structural collapse seems close indeed.

I can confirm Citibank is cutting people.  I have a close friend down here in Tampa, FL who works mid-level at Citibank and was just recently transferred over to a brand “newly-created” position.   Not sure where he falls in the pecking order, but judging off his home and comfortable lifestyle, I’d guess his salary is roughly 100-120K per yr….for what it’s worth.

See also  Peter Thiel on the student loan bubble: “Student debt was $300 billion in 2000 and now it’s close to 2 trillion at this point."

He referred to the change as a “lateral move” and he starts his new job right after Thanksgiving.

Anyways, when I asked him specifically what some of his new “responsibilities” are, he flat out told me that his new job is to figure out ways to minimize processes and eliminate people.

See also  Initial jobless claims are misleading as they exclude voluntary layoffs, failing to reflect tech layoffs.

If Citibank is doing this, one could safely bet other large banks are doing the exact same thing.
