So, they have put an end to Lighthouse Projects, which means no more donations to food banks, homeless shelters, Habitat for Humanity, etc., but we can donate $750k to revitalize a golf course?

QUIET QUIT
Don't know where I'm getting my dinner from since they ain't donating to the food pantry.
It was cheap advertising. The only thing we cheap now are the employees
My guess is the roi on lighthouse was a factor higher than the golf tournament
Also Truist Park, Home to the Atlanta Braves. I have worked for many large companies that gives unused sporting event tickets to their teammates when the C suite level are not in town. Never heard word one about sharing said tickets with the peons within the bank. Apparently they would rather throw the tickets in the trash instead of giving them to the employees.
Oh yeah, you want a Truist golf tournament polo shirt, you can purchase them from a PGA golf store for 150.00 a pop.
Anything that BB&T did that any teammate enjoyed will be axed in the name of progress.
Ah, the Lighthouse Project! Such happy memories! Back in the day, they always scheduled our Lighthouse projects in summertime when it was 95 degrees and 90% humidity. Anyone unlucky enough to "be volunteered" for an outdoor project had a miserable day for sure. Each year we would always ask if the projects could be done during cooler weather. Nope, your leadership team knows best! Funny how are "leadership" only stayed at the project site long enough for the photo op, then vanished for the remainder of the day!
PGA was Billy’s way of making up to Johnny for firing his Terrible real estate company - had to grease the other palm
Golf tournament got lighthouse money, paperclip money, client money etc. Got to keep billionaire Johnny happy so Bill and his merry band of thieves can act like they own Quail Hollow. Wouldn’t you like to know the back door deal Bill and the BOD cut for the sponsorship and how many memberships came with it and who got them?
Povs don't need financial services, golfers do. The math is mathing.
