Dial in and listen to how well things are going while you struggle and worry if today is your day to be RIFed. I’m sure they will tell us how great the marketing deal with NFL is also. I know everyone is proud of this!

The most capable and competent are also the ones who can most easily find another job. It's just a reality. Truist will have to pay top dollar to hire their replacements and there is always lost productivity while getting the new hire up to speed... — read more 

Is it just me or do layoffs never stop here? It's like every couple of weeks I here that a few people were laid off in one department, then the other, then someplace else... This is really unnerving. If we had announced layoffs at least we'd know... — read more 

Attrition rates at Truist right now are out of control but that's not what worries me. Attrition is a fact of life for any company. The real issue is who's leaving. Sadly, the most are our best people and losing so many can have a profound effect on... — read more

Truist is a bad place to work, I think we can all agree on that. But don't be too quick to leave and burn all the bridges behind you. Two of my former coworkers impulsively left within the last six months (one even quit after an argument with his... — read more 

Good people are leaving and either aren’t being backfilled or in the case of management, being replaced with people who don’t even have the decency to talk to their new team and ensure a smooth transition. That’s it. It obviously didn’t matter to... — read more 

How is it possible that King has 91% approval rating on Glassdoor? That's one of the highest CEO approval rating I've seen on there! Those can't be legit, right? I haven't heard a positive word about him among employees for a while and certainly not... — read more

You deposit your checks via "U", the pandemic proved you don't need in house bankers, you won't need back office adjusting rates as the bank pays you nothing for interest. They take your money, charge you up the butt in fees and lend your money out... — read more 

Some colleagues tell me in confidence that they have never put less effort into their work and that they only give the bare minimum. I listen to this with disbelief because my case is completely different. Without any exaggeration, lately I’ve been... — read more 

How many of you would like to see work from home become a permanent option for all of us? Or at least all of us who are currently working from home and would like for it to stay that way? I know people are worried that permanent WFH would show that a... — read more 

How many are actively working to get out? I’ve been looking for a few months now and still haven’t found anything. Is the job market that saturated? I have also been looking outside of the industry and still have had no luck. I know it’s out there... — read more 

I doubt this week, but sometime this month seems likely.

I just spent a wonderful time with family over the holidays, I blocked work out for the whole week. The thought of returning to work tomorrow has my stomach in knots. For the first time in my life, I may do something stupid, go to work, collect my... — read more 

In my family the men work in our trucking business, and the women work in banking. It’s been like this for generations. Last week a position opened up at my oldest sister’s bank. She has the ‘pull’ to get me in. It would require moving (single, no... — read more 

Can anybody say their situation has improved since the merger? I'm genuinely curious. I see so many negative comments here and very few positive ones. Personally, my situation has remained exactly the same. The same old job insecurity and cranky... — read more

Are our jobs safe?

BB&T and SunTrust have been in the dark ages for a long time, yes, the lights have been out for a long time. They weren't ready for a merger of equals, they just needed to hire some sharp people to bring them into the 21st century. Hiring Boston... — read more

Are you happy with new pay and job grade?

Layoff ... after layoff ... after layoff. This layoff approach deeply dampens morale, as employees wonder who will be next. To have layoffs (RIF) during the holidays, it's penny wise and pound foolish as the reputational harm to the decision-maker(s)... — read more 

Truist wants us to have a growth mindset where human potential is not fixed. How do they expect to accomplish this when teammates are being RIF’d (yet again) during holidays & they are treating teammate pay like shareholders matter more.

How many here are actually ready to leave this place? I certainly know I am. I’ve reached that point where if VLOs were offered I’d jump on without a second thought. But since that's not likely to happen, all I’m doing is trying to survive until I... — read more 

I was RIFed a few days ago. I don’t quite know how to take it. I’ve been with the company so long that I truly don’t know anything else. I ask myself if I’m too old to start over, or am I financially able to retire. I just don’t know. This came as... — read more
