Without any remote the travelling back and forth is just plain exhausting and mentally draining and with the uncertainty of the company on whether layoffs are gonna happen especially with the amounts of things changing it's just suffocating. Really hate this.

@2ja - DJT 2028. STOP THE STEAL! JANUARY 6, 2029!
@2hs I saw a post where someone called you out on these stup*d posts of yours. And I agree with them. Something really is wrong with you.
@2e1 Tax breaks (Aka greed). But honestly, if you read the newest version of the In-office requirements not one person has lost their remote status to date, so all of these posts are pure spectulation. For all we know this is just a scare tatic to get teammates to quit. So dont stress until you get an email in March with a desk assignment.
Some of us never had a commute...We accepted a position with the understanding we would be full time remote. I can understand if there is a need to be in office but if I am going to sit in meetings all day on the phone, what does it matter to Truist if I am at home (and happier) or in the office (and miserable)
Executive leaders have zero care, empathy or understanding of the teammates that keep this sinking ship afloat. The many hours of unpaid overtime, the sacrificed family time, the dedication to a company that gives zero F’s about them. People were told their position was wfh years ago. They built their lives around that understanding. Taking that away at a moments notice with no regard to the impact that it has on people’s day to day lives and not giving a rats a-s about the stress and anxiety that adds to an already stressful job is cold and heartless. I saw a survey recently that pegged Truist as the 3rd worst company to work for in NC. How sad it is at how far this company has fallen.
@ac might need to look in the mirror. Your reply says all we need to know how what a nasty piece of work you are. Get some true help. Life is too short to be so miserable.
@km it’s coming in 2030. Look up the UN’s Agenda 2030.
Only among those 35 and under. The rest of us do our job and not spotlight to a company how any schmuck in India could do my job remotely. Grow up.
@1dt That’s the divide between the “haves” and the “have-nots.” We fall into the latter, which leaves us reacting to their every whim, essentially in the position of saying, “Please Sir, may we have another?”
Funny how "Jenny" keeps doing meetings and her little vlog from home after ripping into people questioning the why of RTO.
Guess it's "Do as I say, not as I do"
Great leadership.
They force us to be in an office. I don't love it by any means, but do they have to make the experience as awful as possible? This is the cheapest institution I have ever worked for. They don't even have coffee in the break room. Are you kidding? We pay hundreds to park here just to be stuffed into the smallest, brightest, most exposed cubicles. No windows. It's like they want us to be as miserable as possible.
Control the controllable. Pay off ALL debt including mortgage if you have one. Build up a 1 year emergency fund. Look into the Dave Ramsey methods.
Requires years of sacrifice but feels great knowing if a layoff happens, no big deal.
Truist Announces Goal of Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 2050.
What happened to that?
Dude just go in for an hour sometime around lunch and leave. Grab some Chick-fil-A to make the drive worth it
@fp I was told I will make AVP next year so I should just go ahead and start working 6 days week, they did say I could work half a day Saturday at home, so I think that was really generous of them.
OP I get it
The transition bank is tough
It’s further disheartening when not all groups are being called back
But think of the small sacrifice as a way to get your AVP
That’s the goal
Never give up

Ever thought of taking care of yourself first and finding a different job? You have a mental break down tomorrow, Truist replaces you the next week, you only have your family and friends that care about you. Why would you let RTO give you this much stress and anxiety?
None of them had to deal with working with an odious bootlicker like you.
Yeah, it's amazing that, time and again, office-based work gets touted as the pinnacle of human civilization. So all-around wonderful that we must freeze it in place in perpetuity, no matter what else changes around us.
Such innovative, creative, and progressive thinking and certainty the way forward to sustainable success.
@OP I heard something very interesting recently. Apparently you can, in fact, leave the company and go somewhere else. Rumor has it that Citibank is much more accommodative on remote work…
“Mental breakdown” how fragile is your mental state that being forced to come in the office one more day a week is causing a breakdown. Wow, seek professional help and find a new job before you need a padded room.
I’m thinking it’s the distaste for the company you are working for that is the problem. Personally, I commute 5 days a week and it’s an hour each way. I don’t mind because I love the company I work for. BTW, that company isn’t Truist. I jumped off that train wreck a while back.My point is, change the company you work for and your prospective will likely be much different.
@a2 here comes bullish how were we managing before posts.
This reply is same as how were we living without electricity before.
We were also living without houses and also hunting for food. Since u are fan of before times how about u do that
@a3 wow u must be a piece of sh-t with what throwing that word snow flake. Wow what a strong man.
I hope u have thr worst of days where u are financially ruined u stupid human of a waste piece of sh-t.
Snowflake BS post. People have been commuting since they invented the office chair. Many generations have done fine balancing work, children, commuting, and making living without sniveling
@OP So how did you survive the horrors of a commute before you were remote?
