Hearing from credible sources in HR that Truist will align with the federal government’s hiring practices and equal employment (EEO) policies. Truist will eliminate all DEI based positions and business resource groups. KMW is poised to be laid off. No more affirmative action or target based hiring practices for minorities and women.

What about all the H1B visa’s holders less experienced than the ones they are replacing? These people are replacing American citizens. These H1B a—holes have promoted each other and replaced American citizens with their foreign friends. I worked with these people and can tell you they don’t have any “special” skills or higher IQ’s. They are just money grabbing mongers that need to go back to their own countries. They are NOT welcome here.
@fb+1jj785pwq you really enjoy bootlicker's koolaid
Does this mean I have to remove my pronouns from my email signature?
"Does this also remove age based protections federally? If nobody is protected it should be I guess, to be fair to everyone. "
DEI was not a protection, it was a discrimination. It had nothing to do with age. Now there is no preference. There can also not be discrimination based on protected classes, of which age is one. To reiterate, ended DEI removed discrimination in hiring and promotion practices.
Meritocracy in corporate America has NEVER been based on merit. Regardless of a lack of necessary competence, skills, or experience, White males have ALWAYS been and will continue to be the highly favored hires. Decades upon decades of a strongly rooted culture of nepotism for white males ensure that meritocracy is and will continue to be a myth.
KMW and any “diversity staff” for that matter do not add any value to the bank. They are a money pit and should be RIFed immediately
Does this also remove age based protections federally? If nobody is protected it should be I guess, to be fair to everyone.
If the OP thinks Kimberly Moore Wrong is going anywhere I’ll have some of what he/she is smoking. She is as safe as Bill in this organization.
@ct+1jj785pwq, Very thoughtful post. I am not sure if you mean it or if it is a gaslight post.
Not many teammates are left that exhibit qualities or behave in a manner such as the Good Samaritan did. I have personally witnessed this company sla-ghter its very own Good Shepard(s). I have witnessed this company partake in Zersetzung on their own people. I have witnessed this company hire the most false and depraved character people. The fish rots from the head down and if the stated values from Bill are meant, the things stated above need to change. Otherwise, they should start putting the company name in quotes. "Truist".
Meritocracy assumes that there is a level playing field. That is hardly the case.
And If there are 10 applicants for a job, no two will have identical experiences - job, education, life, success, or failure. Some think that they are always the best for the job - and most times that makes then NOT the best for the job. Most times the best for the job has humility, empathy, and selfless passion to help others achieve greatness.
That is not to say that white males cannot be all of those things. But so can folks who are not white and male.
DEI - when implemented correctly - is simply encouraging a deeper look at the whole person and how that whole person elevates the company.
When someone shouts "DEI hire" they are stating that they believe a white male would be far better for the job.
Yet how many of the same people complain about the current white males that are in charge of Truist? LOL
White males are not inherently more qualified. Likewise a woman in a role is not automatically less qualified or inferior to a white male. Sometimes a white male is best. Sometimes an Asian female is best.
When someone shouts "DEI is woke" - well, Jesus was woke. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, a Jewish man walking from Jerusalem to Jericho was robbed, beaten, and left for dead. Others refused to help or pretended not to notice. A Samaritan came along and cared for the man, taking him to an inn and paying for his care and recuperation.
The Jews listening to Jesus were shocked. Why? Jews and Samaritans hated each other for more than 500 years. The principle reason? Samaritans married with Assyrians - yes interracial marriage. Love of neighbor was not just fellow Jews. The Samaritan showed true love of neighbor.
How you answer this question defines who you are:
When you see a female NFL referee, do you:
- say "good for her and the NFL"
- say "she is taking the job of a more qualified male referee"
- say "i wonder who she slept with to get that job"
- say some other s-xist remark.
I choose a) - the only answer that shows true love of neighbor, broadening opportunities to others regardless of their age, s-x, race, ethnicity, or religion.
DEI is love of neighbor, recognizing and accepting differences. Anti DEI groups not only love themselves more than their neighbors, some think it is righteous to hate some of their neighbors - answers b, c, and d.
That is the "woke" battle.
This is a positive. I think the DEI office is filled with people overpaid to not provide much to the company.
There is a reason you can't really job shadow these positions. Their DEI pages hardly get any engagement and they even go so far to inflate their numbers by including stories about Veterans.
It's an endless money pit and the group responsible for the "equity" push of 22/hr for everyone where people worked hard to get above that took hard work and merit increases have haven't been substantial as they used to in the past in hBBT and hSTI.
Though, I'm not confident this will improve conditions in the company. EL remains the issue and they were the ones to keep pushing this nonsense and sc--wing over people who actually bring value to the bank to make things work.
Are there "DEI" hires? Yes. Are there Bigots who work here? Yes. I know some teammates who work here solely because of their involvement in videotaped, recorded corruption. What can do about that?
@c6+1jj785pwq, I can tell you who, based on conversations with them. Some are no longer there.
White robes and hoods in the ranks of Truist? Who knew?
Sure pal. Suuure
will donta be required to return his 5mm bonus
@bq+1jj785pwq
Wait as long as tou like, that never happened but keep building strawmen champ. And to be honest if I had a choice I'd pick a pilot who was a woman or PoC, they'd have passed all the same certification and be more likely to be held to the actual standard instead of using the "good Ole boy" free pass.
@b9+1jj785pwq. Question - Which airline would you fly? The one with a woke DEI hiring process that selects pilots based on race/gender? Or the one who hires based on the most qualified pilot for the job? Go ahead, I'll wait.
It’s amazing how bigots come out in full force when they feel safe to hate on women and people of color. Shame.
I thot they closed up shop at dale earnhardt inc years ago
@ac+1jj785pwq, Among other things.
Beau was a DEI hire and he was let go pretty quick.
better do it quick or the lawsuits will come fast! I imagine there will already be massive lawsuits from past discrimination for Truist.
America is healing from the massive laceration that was DEI.
Can we also get rid of the Supplier diversity group? A 114, multiple 113s and other roles held within- a waste of money
Meh, meritocracies are a myth, that just means affirmative action for white people. Doesn't matter too much though since DEI never really did much, it was more of a way to placate people that to actually change l anything.
Nice click bait
@a3+1jj785pwq - Merit based. Consistent with federal government policy. Race and s-x will no longer be factors.
What about DUI policy?
About time. Sick of the DEI woke agenda. Truist should be merit based. Level the playing field. End of story.
