I don’t know if this post is necessarily giving advice or asking advice. What are you all doing outside of work to maintain sanity, make ends meet, or put a little cash away? We all need something, right?

It seems like she wants to rip $1 for every hBBTer that gets riffed or shuffles to the local 15 branch community bank.

We’re not playing offense. We’re dying and are trying to leave. We are defending ourselves. Why did you lie when you’re out of touch with the little people?

I really didn't want to or feel like interviewing around again but Truist has put me in a position where I feel like I have no choice. Nothing I was promised when I got this job two years ago materialized. I was so happy at the time. It didn't even... — read more 

Resign from your jobs at Truist. Do not put a notice in. There are better companies out there with better pay and benefits. This place is a joke. Worst company I’ve ever worked at.

Folks, if you're being asked to participate in KT for accenture or cisco they are basically forcing you to train your replacement. Sounds like a great time to utilize some sick time when these meetings from accenture pop up. They are the enemy, they... — read more 

In a serious tone, Bill announced that employee surveys would be distributed by the end of July. He claims this initiative is aimed at making Truist a great place to work. It’s hard not to laugh at this. Executive Team, is it really necessary to... — read more 

I have been moving through banks, always trying not to get stuck in one for too long. I don’t know if it’s my particular team and my mgmt here, so it’s a subjective experience, or the culture of this bank is this bad, but I’ve never dreaded coming to... — read more 

This company is a joke, the executives keep padding their pockets while eliminating domestic jobs. The talented people keep leaving for better opportunities and those left are either looking for a better company or are delusional or know they are... — read more 

Announcement on August 8th. that the pension will no longer be funded

What happens if you quit immediately and do not put a 2 weeks notice in? Assume ineligible for rehire at Truist. Will employment verification still show “terminated without cause”?

Anyone else hearing that the announcement is coming soon that the pension is no longer getting funded?

Anyone know what this call is about? Everyone in the NC East region got the invite I think. Speculation is they will announce they are no longer funding the pension.

I don't remember a time when things were even close to being this bad, either at Truist or BB&T. Do those at the top not realize that low morale is affecting productivity? People can't get themselves to do their jobs properly because they're feeling... — read more 

Bottom line is that we have terrible leadership. Until we have a significant change top down things will never get better. All the good managers seem to be at the lower levels or not in a position where they can make any real difference as they are... — read more

Literally. They swoop in, do “reorg” for inordinate amounts of money, make a mess, and more often than not leave their people inside that we have to cover for because they have no clue (nor care to do a good job). That’s on top of us having to pick... — read more

I’ve been stuck in this one job for too long. Admittedly, I’m not a good a--kisser, but I do my job well. Is it really not about competence and performance at all? I mean, I get the social and hierarchical aspect of work relations, I get you do need... — read more

Truist’s reputation across their footprint is very poor. At some point a bank has to bring in and retain clients, and Truist is struggling with both. Decreasing the stock float with buybacks doesn’t change that reality. Like the insurance sale, my... — read more

How can TAS audit this organization when it is so utterly disorganized? Who's checking the checkers over there? Got off a call yesterday that left me scratching my head and worried deeply for this company.
