why work hard for this company ?
The Impact on Morale and Purpose
Your question, "why work hard for this company?" cuts to the heart of employee motivation in this environment.
Betrayal of Purpose: The memo speaks of pride, mission, and strengthening the company. Yet, the layoffs make the reality feel transactional: people are costs to be cut, not valued assets. This strips away any feeling of shared purpose.
The "More Layoffs Coming" Fear: The atmosphere after a major layoff often includes a period of "survivor's guilt" and intense anxiety about the next round of cuts. This fear is a massive morale drain and can lead to lower productivity, as employees may prioritize securing their next role over the company's work.
What’s important
This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations
Bill Rogers will be next. I am sure the Board of Directors are preparing his parachute packet now for a Q4 exit. Truist work environment is toxic. Executives are forcing colleagues to come into the office 4 times a week when all the new hires from PNC and Wells live outside the foot print but continuously championing a return to office culture when they will be working comfortably from their home. Bill Rogers has driven the stock price down by 40%. The sale of Truist Insurance Holdings and Mike Maguire tried so effortlessly to sell it to the audience that it puts Truist in a much better position than it's peers.
Many folks are being layered and not considered for any upper ward mobility in an organization that is given 1-2% raises YoY while burning out it's employees but remember like Bill Rogers keeps reiterating over and over again #Purpose.
Oh let's not forget about the layoffs due to Project Star in 2023 and Star Light in February 2024 where Agile teams were told to pack up their personal belongings without any notice or consideration.
Kudos to the young lady who was bold, courageous, and outspoken. She told the truth about Truist.
