vikrampanditblogpic.gifListen to me. No, really listen. A lot of banks and CEOs talk about change. They swear things are going to be different this time, they promise thing are going to be better and they all say they mean it. But you and I know they’re all blowing smoke up our asses. You know how I know Vikram and Citi are deadly serious about making it work with Citi, and not just making empty promises? They’ve started a blog. Here, at New Citi, every single day, or until they gets blogger fatigue, we’ll be able to follow C’s progress toward achieving Pandito’s goal of becoming “the best company in the world, bar none.”
And lest you think this is some sort of corporate crap, think again: this blog is so real that they’re letting you leave comments. In fact, go leave one right now. Vikram is so excited about all this that he’s kicked off his inaugural post with a video in which he gets to his favorite word (“globality”). Take a peek, and then tell us what sort of posts you’d be interested in seeing. Pictures of VP’s lunch? Daily outfits? Next-day recaps and thoughts on Lost? Favorite YouTube videos of the week? Late night confessions? Guest posts by The Prince? Dish on other CEO’s (don’t even get Pandles started on what Lloyd wore the last time they were in Washington. Fashion failll)? Everyone wants this thing to be great and to that end, is a name change in order? My vote: Vicki In The Citi. Think about it.

    I just want to crawl into bed, sip green tea, listen to Sinead O’Connor, and snuggle a Vickle for 10, nah, 15.
    And I’m not even gay.

    “globality” sounds like a porn genre

    most embarrasing company in the world, bar none.

    I wish I could make mistakes and get paid what he gets paid.

    Oh, the humanity!
    Wonder how much money they wasted on putting this piece of shiny, brillance together?!

    Their blog sucks.
    No comments, boring stories, no photos of Cabruso Carreras, stories of The Thug’s childhood exploits, tales of the Hammer rescuing falcons and flushing sleeping pills, nothing.
    I’ll bet you can’t even use the word “fuck” on that site.

    Is Viki convincing us Citi is a bank or himself?
    The fact that focusing on the clients is FRESH thinking, it begs the question. What was the focus before?
    I would love to know who replaced Rubin at this clown show or is he still sucking to corporate tit?
    What a bunch of fucking assholes!

    Not interested. Haven’t seen that many brown faces on one website, since I hit facialwallah.com
    I believe the LA Clippers will see greatness before Vikram.

    “I love the part where he says, “its clear they made SOME mistakes”
    How many billions would we have had to give these shitbags had he made many many catastrophic mistakes?
    I hate this guy.

    @14/16/18 no one’s interested in your triple posting racism.

    @14/16/18 when’s the last time you saw that many brown faces?

  23. Posted by NakedShort | February 3, 2010 at 1:43 PM

    @21 FTW

  24. Posted by guest | February 3, 2010 at 1:46 PM

    @21 your wife made you see that too?

  25. Posted by guest | February 3, 2010 at 1:55 PM

    @28 not yet but she’s working on me and so are her friends, so, I’m like a dead man walking basically.
    and then we’ll have to talk about it afterward so if you have any suggestions, appreciated.

    @28 as President of “Being DVD raped to watch Julie & Julia by their significant other Club” heres a little tidbit you can throw in; the dumb bitch Julie in real life got caught having a torid affair with a butcher shortly after the original Julie & Julia book was released.

    @33 Admittedly Julie & Julia sucked.

    I would find this video more informative if it was narrated by Amy Adams.

    Hey Vik! Give your customers more than inflation on their accounts and your shareholders something for their investment instead of your shitty blog.

    @30/NS & 36/EPD thank you, very helpful.
