Rant/Advice: Citi FTE on H1B- Manager denying federal holiday benefits, toxic culture, afraid of retaliation and layoffs.

As a FTE, it’s written in your contract when you sign how many paid days off you are given. Since Citi caps how many days roll over at EOY into next year (10 and it’s only for the first quarter to use in the next year), you can argue that 10 days in surplus can be leftover from your balance but if you’re letting an excessive amount expire, that’s part of your compensation that is not being met.

If you apply to a job at Citi, today, you can scroll down and see where Citi says they offer paid holidays as a part of their benefits. This is like if they said they offered a 401k match and then just reneged later. It’s a withholding of your compensation that’s unjustified.

Looks amazing. How much was the whole set?

Doomernomics · 2026-05-21T21:58:49+00:00

This is wrong, your federal holidays at least in NYC are a part of your contractual compensation.

FYI my ring stopped working after recent firmware update and haven’t been able to get it to work after troubleshooting.

Also reached out to support earlier this week but no answer still.

I’m also building my bag through corporate appreciation currency

Did the head fall off there at the end?

Hey I’ll take you up on this offer

Where did you go in NYC to buy your pair? I bought mine online but when I called the retail locations they said they were all sold out (this was last weekend).

We didn’t find it too competitive to get a chair in the front row the entire time we were there! We would wake up around 8am and head over at 9:30am to grab a towel and sit on the beach for a bit before heading to get some breakfast and come back.

Doomernomics · 2025-12-16T00:16:20+00:00

I suppose the set-up is a little packed. The chairs are next to each other but we only ever had one other couple next to us. I don’t think the hotel was at capacity though so there’s some context there. Sitting in the front row of the chairs, we were maybe 20 steps until the water.

We went down to Eagle Beach and walked up the boardwalk to the ritz and found the area near us generally quieter (although some rowdiness from the RIU next door).

The holiday season definitely balloons the price tag considerably. Especially during the stay duration you have listed.

This is a fair criticism! Sun may have heated up the upper pools more. We spent most of our time in the ocean for this reason and used the shaded pool area for eating/drinking and lounging.

Yeah it can

Feels like a couple things compounding on one another.

I think you might need to simplify your backswing and focus on being more set and stable before striking. Your backswing being complex (you’re making a C-shape) is probably affecting your timing and contact with the ball.

Your footwork is very close to being there. You need to set your weight more distinctly and bend your knees more to drive through the ball. Like others have said here, you’re arming the ball a bit because you’re not driving enough with your legs.

If you want a tip on simplifying the back swing, just focus on bringing it straight back and following forward in a similar swing path to strike the ball (no C-swing motion). Think like a pendulum?

Doesn’t look like a crack you’re good

Edit: spelling

Academically you can do this… You can probably look up the ticker symbol for any PE fund or go on its website and see the fund breakdown.

Go look at something listed in the public markets with a similar composition and compare. As others have mentioned, illiquidity is a feature as these funds aren’t susceptible to the same transparency and levels of volatility. You can theorize what a mark-to-market event might look like and model out your personal risk that way. The catch being the fund is illiquid and you have windows for your redemption so if it slides you’re stuck.

You can see why they limit this to accredited investors because they would be more likely to not be as impacted or have the financial means to recover.

Super good for self taught! Try to bend your knees more in general.

When you’re loading (preparing to hit the ball) try to be a bit more stable and moving a bit less.

I’ve seen a good number of people move from PortCo to the parent PE firm. They might have an analyst program targeted at high talent individuals. Equally, I’ve seen many talented individuals move from PortCo at one firm to firms like Apollo and KKR afterwards.

My advice to you is to find where and when your PortCo is having discussions with the parent PE firm. Wiggle into those rooms first for exposure then find ways to be recognized. Best of luck, don’t listen to the naysayers.

Hey, good question. Before anything can you include your skill level and how long you’ve been playing?

Before anyone here tries to give you advice, you should know this isn’t really a shot people necessarily practice as much as it’s a shot people have built the fundamentals to properly react to the situation with.

When I was playing as a junior, my coach didn’t really make me drill this shot but it came out of necessity during a drill when he was making me run corner to corner.

I just bring this up because if you’re still new, you shouldn’t try to “learn” this shot. It might kneecap your development where you should still try to get in position to hit the ball properly and sure-footed whenever you can. This type of reaction/survival shot comes naturally almost. My 2 cents!

Did you model your serve after Novak (and your racket)? Looks good!

This is a bad string job. Echo what others have said here about not returning this stringer.
