Thread regarding Truist Bank layoffs

@2nq WFH was because of the Pandemic not a choice for MOE. Most of the damage done was after MOE was completed. The wrong people were kept and the right people were forced out or left.

I know you don't actually work here because you would know this if you did.

Why do you even post/troll here? Not many people even visit the site anymore.

@2ac y’all need to stop boasting about doing your merger remote. Aside from WB/WFC, this has been the single biggest disaster of a merger in recent memory. Maybe if people had been around to, you know, TALK and interpret the 83% of communication that is non-verbal, you could have actually created value rather than destroy it.
TFC is exactly why we need to come back in-person.

@ja - booo

Forced RTO has pi---d everyone off, especially after we did a merger remote.

@cb Yep Project Star was the beginning of the major downfall. Totally agree.

Just to clarify: you took a demotion after “several years” in a job that would be your next step from your new lower job, which you took to gain “meaningful experience” in your field….. and now after “several” more years you’re feeling stuck? I think a long thought about your career choice is a good idea. Truist isn’t your problem.

@OP go back to your HR manager and tell them you tried to infiltrate this group but they didn’t offer any insights and it may be worth trying other methods. Then kindly don’t let the door hit you in the backside on your way out.

It’s really quite simple. If you actually have marketable skills and a bit of professional value, you leave and never look back. People who can contribute somewhere else tend to do exactly that.

If, on the other hand, you don’t have any real skills to offer the market, then your options are understandably limited. In that case, you’re more or less stuck so you might as well accept the situation, treat it purely as a paycheck, and stop expecting anything more from the environment you’ve chosen to remain in.

SunTruist cares. They care about, gaslighting about huge profit margins for shareholders while telling employees during ACR how tough of a year it was financially for the firm. Truist cares about retaliation against those who have concerns. Truist cares absolutely about their favorites. Truist cares about you meeting a minimum of 175% of your sales goal because minimums like that is for champions of a purple delusion. Truist cares about making Enron and wells business practices and sales pressure seem ethically sound. Give me a recent cares story where you sold 4 or more products to an unsuspecting vulnerable person, now that’s a champion but you can’t use blank signature cards anymore past March to do it.

It all starter in 2023. Maybe a bit earlier. But in 2023 when they were letting go of A LOT of knowledge. What was it, Project STAR? Some g-y s--t and how this was important to cut down on management and layers, which sure. I guess that is okay.

But guess what happened? Those same positions were put back in place with some of the most incompetent "leaders" I've ever seen. And they added even more layers than before.

This has caused a downstream affect with more offshoring and RIFs.

We are all about saving money. But Truist isn't. They are taking losses. A lot of losses. And not just in money, but into talent. Literal locusts are tearing this institution down and no one who isn't outside of the C-Suite seem to care or notice. Or maybe they do but are fine with it as they can move to another institution and muck things up there.

I've never seen so many people fail upward until coming to Truist. To even move upward it isn't what you know but who you know. If you're a social butterfly that hardly contributes to the team or department, you will get promoted as most of your time is in meetings and socializing with other managers. You are rewarded for incompetence and being completely inept.

And maybe this is just corporate America. But in the 20+ years I've never seen something like it this bad. There is just an infestation of narcissists in leadership roles that do not belong and lot of time wasting and performance arts.

Not today HR spy!

Well, I’ll give you one example but if you read the forums, you know. How they started making the ones already in here come in 5 days a week BEFORE they have even started making room for the ones that have been working from home since COVID. Bring those people in!! Why are they still at home? We all were working from home and our productivity was great! They brought us back one day at a time but still didn’t do it across the board. No consistency at all.

@OP Just read through the forum. IF you did work here, you would know.
