Monday Job Cuts Speech Major Test For Citi's Pandit

Citigroup plans to shed about 10 percent of its global workforce, a
person familiar with the matter said Friday, as it tries to restore
profit and quiet mounting criticism of Chief Executive Vikram Pandit.

Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit plans to make a dramatic statement Monday
morning about major cut backs in the struggling firm's workforce aimed
at calming market fears that the troubled financial services giant isn't
taking the steps necessary to address its many ills, which include a
bloated cost structured that has sent shares of its stock reeling,
people close to the company said.

These people say that as of Saturday afternoon the exact size of the
cuts is not known, but it's expected to be higher than the 23,000 cuts
the firm made as of end of the third quarter to its workforce of
approximately 350,000 worldwide. These people say the overall size of
the cuts that Pandit will announce during a highly anticipated town hall
meeting could add up to close to 40,000 depending on the number of asset
sales, such as spinning off businesses the firm could pull off in
addition to additional planned layoffs.

These people add that during the meeting Pandit will likely cite a
specific number of job cuts and say these cuts will occur a relatively
short period of time, such as over the next five or six months.

"The object here is for people to take notice," said one person close to
the company. "The exact number is still a moving target but it will be
dramatic."

All the more reason to be ****ed at the unions. Their greed has caused

Good going labor unions.

Shouldn't you be busy stalking someone else's wife?

Don't you have a wife of your own? Why are you so obsessed by the wives
of others?

I happened to look up "low-life scum" in the dictionary the other day,
and lo and behold, there you were...in your little shop, repairing a
lawnmower.

You sound a bit rattled this morning. Have a cup of coffee to calm your

I see you had a wife many many years ago but I can't find anything that
indicates you are currently legally married. Give me a name and I will
try to connect her/him to you. We wouldn't want people to think you are
making all this up.

what a ridiculous notion. the fact is union workers account for less
than 8% of the US workforce. and the top 5 executives at most large
public companies take home about 10% of company revenue

it's executive greed...as alan greenspan said, not unions, that caused
this. of course you believe in the easter bunny it seems

FloridaJim is one of those non-achievers whose life highpoint was in the
Navy 35 years ago, and though he never did anything of consequence, he
likes to dream that something might have happened, and he might have
become rich. It's the same old crap the Republican "base" has bought
into. The funniest result of the recent elections is that the "base"
thinks it lost because it wasn't conservative enough, and that a "real"
conservative candidate will win over the populace in 2012. These "base"
Republicans haven't figured out they have been played and looted by
corporate America and Wall Street. They're losing their jobs, they're
losing their houses, their retirement has gone up in smoke, but no
matter...they're the Republican base. Hip, hip, hooray.

FloridaJim was turned down for a unionized job as a porti-potti cleaner

of work when he wore that uniform.

Indeed, Herring, I felt no compelling need to put on a uniform and head
overseas to shoot Asians who were no threat to me or my country so I
could help prop up a right-wing extremist government that was so bad
that even Buddhist monks were killing themselves over its excesses.

But I didn't "dodge" the draft. I simply took advantage of a better offer.

So, tell us, Herring...how many little Asian guys trying to get the Ugly
Americans out of their country did you kill?

I undoubtedly killed far fewer than your hero, Kerry, who got all the
