The short answer is no. It did the right thing by cancelling the recognition trip it usually provides for its brokers because of "economic concerns." I guess I would be "concerned" too if my stock plummeted to a price of one dollar. Then, in a no-win boneheaded move, gave the brokers 3.5 million dollars worth of gift cards instead. In a double whammy, this move garnered Citi bad press for the money it wasted on the cards and also made the brokers upset. After all, everyone knows the way to a broker's heart is not with a gift card. It's so, what's the word I'm looking for here, impersonal. It's almost as if Citi didn't think about them and their needs as individuals.
