I've been stuck as a personal banker for a while now and I know I have no chance of moving up. I'm not best friends with anybody in management nor am I related to any of them, so I'm stuck most likely forever. Anything else would require I develop... — read more
How do you get a RIF or layoff as an individual contributer

How happy do you think our old (and new) customers are?
I was part of BB&T so this is mostly the question for people who came from that side of the merger. Do you think our customers are still happy or some (most) of them are looking to bail? Enough things have changed in the past year or so that I'm... — read more

Layoffs are coming?
Is this true?
Everyone is replaceable?
I really hate that attitude. No, they are not all interchangeable, that's just wrong. This company now has a problem with the lack of talented people. They probably think that talented and good employees are expensive, so they prefer to opt for... — read more

Can we hire somebody with experience?
First let me say that I hate the fact new people are being hired instead of offering available jobs to those who were let go in the past year in the first place. What's even worse is that people we do end up hiring have zero experience. They either... — read more
How many?
It just hit me today that a lot of talented people in my LoB have left the company within the last year. I realize that many of them had the knowledge and experience that is needed but is now lost to the company for good. How many more need to go... — read more
Costco vs. Truist
Costco: Crazy company with a crazy notion that happy/well paid employees equal good customer service, less turnover, and less need to keep training. This in turn leads to happy customers who show brand loyalty. That in turn leads to happy... — read more
When will things settle down?
It's been more than a year since the merger and it seems like we are still in the transition period. We still hear talks every day about restructuring, synergizing or whatever the word of the day is for more cuts and it always somehow gets linked... — read more

RSU Bonus Time
SEC form 4’s are flying for the big boys last 10 days. How bad do you think you will be treated. Yes, pretty bad.
Cut the hours and make us leave on our own
Why does it seem to me that they are they forcing us to leave in any way they can? Even though they are saying employees are moved to other branches, they are cutting our hours, so we will have to leave, I went from a 30-hour week to a 12-hour... — read more
Improvement of efficiency ratio
Enterprise Tech all hands on call. Improvement of efficiency ratio is a goal. We know what that means. Scott Case says everything is going great with the merger. Does he really believe that?

Major reorg in Enterprise Tech today.
Major reorg in Enterprise Tech today. Hard for me to know if jobs were eliminated. They keep that quiet. Hopefully things will improve. The merger effort could not get any worse!!
Truist Brand
I left a few months back but I'm curious how the merger is going. Before I left it was a total sh– show. I was traveling recently and noticed that every SunTrust/BB&T branch that I saw is still branded with the two separate orgs heritage logos. ... — read more
Truist or Wells Fargo?
Anybody here worked at Wells Fargo before? I got an offer to switch, trying to figure out if it's a good idea.
They are intentionally making you miserable
Don't think for one second that the miserable work atmosphere is accidental or a coincidence. The leadership is intentionally cultivating a hostile work environment in hopes more people will decide to walk away. After all, attrition always beats... — read more
Got in late

Were there layoffs today?
Someone else posted that today the 29th was supposed to be layoff day. Anyone hear of anything?
HR?
I'm having a major issue with my manager . We got a new guy a few months ago. He was transferred from another department and I'm starting to see why. His management method is bullying that borders on harassment. I'd like to take this to HR, but I'm... — read more

I'm finally able to leave

Layoffs the 29TH
I got word another round of layoffs this Friday, if you hear something post here. Thank you!
I have to wonder....
if some of the unbelievably horrendous leadership coming out of some of the new management, especially ones coming from IBM are deliberate attempts to create mass voluntarily attrition. Some to the decision making I’ve seen lately defies logic... — read more

Would you leave money on the table to go work somewhere else?
