Been working for this train wreck of a company for nearly three decades. After the merger no one gives af. All bbt people are culture shock from the shady widget breathing untrust folk and everyone wants to quit or is seeking outside employment. I... — read more
Branch associates class action lawsuit
2 people to a branch, no lunches with rude clients blowing up only for branch associates to get wrote up. You corporate work from home jokes don't even know! This is a class action lawsuits in the works! The department of labor needs to step in.
Culture Values Pamphlet
I got my culture pamphlet in the mail today. Do they think if they keep telling us that "this is our culture and these are values" that I will believe it? It is not reality, just a facade. I am so glad I got a retirement package!
Hoping that SunTrust Prima Donnas are having to work
After leaving Truist last year I’ve not kept up with former managers, Sr. VPs who regarded themselves very highly. I do hope they’re having a hard time under the new structure and are no longer able to delegate everything down to their reports. .. — read more
Company Values
Does anyone that works here really believe that Truist upholds what they claim are the company values? Trustworthy, Caring, One Team, Success, Happiness.
RTO will be postponed
I think people are worried about nothing. No way are they going to call us back to the office now (those of us who don't have to be there, anyhow.) I think people are just creating stress for themselves where there is absolutely no need for it. Relax... — read more
The new Vaccine Registry
They make it out like they want to know for your safety. Feels more like they want to know to force you back in the office and get rid of the unvaccinated.
Discreet (stealth) layoffs
I came from a company that is well known within the rank and file for having stealth layoffs. It was just enough to stay under the radar so to speak. I haven’t been here that long, less than a year. I am hoping there isn’t anything of the sort that... — read more
The Project team for the technical side of the merger is running a scam!
The focus is to make sure that the numbers look on their reports. They want defects either closed or deferred until after the merger. That means that they are willing to go live with hundreds, maybe thousands of issues. There is no integrity... — read more
Back to masks..
All teammates are to wear masks unless alone in an office with a closed door..
How we roll…
New financial statement policy, effective 6/30, requires an attestation form that legal is still working to draft. New Highly Leveraged Transaction policy implemented with questions that even the authors of the policy cannot answer - and the added... — read more
VSRP Stats
Does anyone know how many people were offered the Voluntary/Retirement package? What % did Executive Management expect to accept the offer? What % actually said they want to take the package? I heard someone say they expected 8% to accept but the... — read more
Criticized for being so straight laced
I’m the only one left of my original team. Over the last 2 years we’ve had employees RIF’d or leave for better options. The team that I am a part of now often criticizes me for being by the book. Not sure why because I like to think I’m easy to get... — read more
RTO set, what say you
Are you returning willingly or kicking and screaming?
Why do top dogs remain confident in merger?
Merger is wonderful, true, but only for a small number of people. For most it is not.
Getting rid of most knowledgeable people prior to the meger
What does that tell you?
SunTruist
Not that it really matters at this point in the game, however has anyone noticed when you google Truist the Suntrust logo shows beside it (SMH)
Happy?
Are you truly happy at this bank?
Change
Anyone else get this book, Change, in the mail? Segue way into massive layoffs?
I keep reminding myself
No one is safe. Everyone is replaceable. When I get complacent and start to feel secure in my position this is what I resort to telling myself at least once a day. God knows I don’t want to be laid off, but if or when I am I will see it coming and... — read more
LMAO BBT acquired Suntrust
In December 2019, BB&T Corp. completed its $28.2 billion acquisition of SunTrust Banks Inc. and created Truist, the seventh largest U.S. retail bank with approximately $518 billion in assets as of March 31. Truist likely will incur around $1.8... — read more
How have you fared?
For those who are former BBTers I’m interested in knowing how you’re doing. I’ve been gone over 6 months and at first it was difficult to acclimate myself to a new environment, new colleagues and work culture. I keep expecting the hammer to drop with... — read more
6/30 is past us
Anyone here take the offer? Anyone that was offered not end up taking?
It’s bad now
But wait, by October 1st you won’t believe how bad it will be and by year end your wildest imagination can’t fathom where this circus will be. The tent will not be big enough. King Rogers is already imposing his will. Just wait until he takes... — read more
Dividend increase announced
As a result of the stress test results SunTruist is increasing dividend from .45 to .48 per share a 7% increase. Any of you “teammates” get a 7% salary bump? Nah I didn’t think so.
Winston-Salem
I admit, I’m a little biased since it’s been my home for the past 16 years, but does anyone have any insight on the future of Truist in Winston? I know when the merger was announced, it was indicated Community Banking would be headquartered here, but... — read more
What are you currently experiencing?
We have a manager who is very inexperienced and was hired through cronyism. Our own years of experience and knowledge in our BU mean absolutely nothing to him and he delights in micromanaging the cr-p out of us despite knowing very little of our job... — read more
So who knew about this?
Also on Tuesday, the Board issued a consent order against SunTrust for unfair and deceptive practices. As detailed in the order, SunTrust made misleading or inaccurate statements between 2013 and 2017 to certain business customers about the operation... — read more
An offer I can't refuse
It is a good offer, about a years pay and a little more for healthcare (just what the company portion would be for 6 months). I doubt I will ever get the chance again. Why risk trying to stay when I could be fired when the merger is over... — read more
Short-term mindset
Does it seem to you that Truist is really not managing to balance short-term and long-term business pressures very well? Leadership is so blinded by short-term goals that I think they have completely ignored visions for the future. I’m still here... — read more
Did Truist offer involuntary to someone?
Someone in one of the previous threads asked how much the voluntary package differs from the recent involunatry package, so I wonder if anyone here has been offered involuntary lately? It would be such a great news for me if Truist is now offering... — read more
Fingers crossed
I finally have an interview scheduled for next week. I have a little over 5 years until I am eligible for retirement and the pandemic has made it more than difficult in trying to secure a job. However, I am still hopeful and the company I am vying... — read more
Old SunTrust Employee Pension Question
When your pension was frozen, Did the individual options also change within the plan. If yes, what specifically changed?
Stock drops over 20%
Yes all bank stocks were down on the fed news, but SunTruist was really hammered. Have the analysts figured out the dumpster fire that is going on?
Be smart
Use your job at Truist as a stepping stone for something better. Stay here only for as long as you have to. Maybe before, this was a place to build your career. Now, it seems to be the place where you go if you want to see your career die. I took... — read more
Merger Senior Leadership Changes ??
Not long ago, Scott Case announced that Mike Roth would be leaving. He was over the merger and it is going terribly. Does anyone know if Mike left on his own will?
Are people over 50 employable?
How easy is it for employees who are 50 and over to find a new job? I know plenty who are unhappy here especially since the merger but all of them are staying because they don't think there are options available to them on the job market. I feel like... — read more
Headed over a cliff!
This train is on route to a cliff. If I tell that to the crew in charge they will throw me off with no coat or luggage. Time to jump off!
