Another one is gone. Another good person let go by a leadership team that wouldn't recognize value if it sat on their bonus reports and lit itself on fire.
How many more? How many brilliant, loyal, ethical employees have to be axed so a bunch of political ladder-climbers can check a box, appease Wall Street, and keep playing musical chairs in the C-suite?
Truist isn't evolving — it's cannibalizing itself. This isn't a transformation. This is a slow-motion corporate su----e, camouflaged in buzzwords and wrapped in LinkedIn lies.
You don’t lead a company by bleeding out its talent and you can't serve clients by gutting the very people who help build trust with them. And you don’t deliver shareholder value by setting the foundation on fire and calling it a “pivot.”
Truist has turned layoffs into a culture. A ritual. A spreadsheet sport. And the saddest part? They think they're saving the company.
They're not saving it. They're hollowing it out. Piece by piece. Team by team. Person by person, and they’re digging a grave and planting flags on the way down.
Good people are leaving — either by choice or by force. And every time it happens, we see the truth more clearly: This company isn't failing because of the market.It's failing because of its own self-inflicted wounds.
The clients feel it.
The employees know it.
The shareholders are starting to realize it.
And when this house of cards finally collapses — when there’s nothing left but slogans, lawsuits, and LinkedIn lies
we’ll remember who led us here:
Not a storm. Not a recession. Not the economy. But a boardroom full of empty suits and visionless yes-people, too weak to lead, and too arrogant to admit they are failing
Another great asset removed.
Another friend is gone.
Another soul ripped out of the culture.
This wasn’t downsizing. This was dehumanizing. And they still have the nerve to call it “progress.”
