First big to do it wins. Like sure, there's some mild benefit to some agentic augmentation to the workforce, but the scale of unrecoupable investment is about to ruin the world.
Remote workers
There will be announcements made early 2027 that you will either work in a Truist office or you will be out of a job. They will be calling people individually next year, giving the ultimatum, either move to one of the locations, come into the office... — read more
Pensions
Kelly King and Bumbling Bill made an agreement when Gargamel took over that he wouldn’t remove the pension for 10 years. Not sure if that was the day of the merger or the day Gargamel took over. But the pension will cease to exist in way less than 10... — read more
RIF week
Found out the executive team now has what is called a RIF week. One week a month will be when all the RIFs for the month will be completed during this week. Supposedly the week for June is the week of the 15th or 22nd. Doesn’t necessarily mean a RIF... — read more
Unfairness
How do I tell on someone in the business who is taking advantage of RTO and ruining it for everyone else? This person in particular is taking the kids to the pool everyday during work hours and still counts it as working.
Today's Puspose Corner email puts lulz on high alert
The Truist Championship did one thing for sure; it took money from raises, bonuses, and promotions. That is it. The rest is speculative and ignores the terrible work the executive leadership has done since the merger that undermines all of the... — read more
Get ready…RTO is happening!
Guys are in our building today moving out old furniture to get things ready for the final group coming back in! Good luck in getting a spot you like. Those of us that have been coming in for TWO YEARS have taken all of the good ones. Enjoy your final... — read more

Commercial Real Estate .. This board should be viewed for what it is… a discussion board for current employees concerned about their careers (with some crazy types) and feedback for those considering wearing “the purple.” First, you need to ask... — read more
Why Does Truist Have Such a Bad Employee Experience?
I’m curious to hear honest and objective opinions from others about why so many employees seem unhappy at Truist. What is it about the employee experience that feels so negative? Is the culture at Truist actually worse than other banks, or is this... — read more
New Advisory Fee Schedules?
Anyone else’s fee schedules get blown out? Anyone only see modest fee increases? Drop the fee schedules below.
TRUIST AI LOL
It might actually be good for truist when the llm circlej bubble pops, as they haven't been able to waste that much money on it yet. Anyone that thinks ai is "good" for most of the tasks for which it is being proposed, fundamentally does not... — read more
Morale across our organization is very low
Most employees appear disengaged, simply completing their assigned responsibilities and leaving at 5:00 every day. There is little motivation to exceed expectations because most people feel that exceptional effort is neither recognized nor rewarded... — read more
Incentive/Performance Manipulation Retail
Do you remember a few years ago when the bank changed multiple procedures surrounding deposit migrations for major risk and compliance reasons where people were manipulating incentives? At that time, branch managers lost the ability to initiate or... — read more
The pay doesn’t justify the environment
Bad management and a dysfunctional structure make it difficult to serve customers properly, while leadership keeps preaching principles they don’t follow themselves. Add to that a toxic culture, and navigating this would be challenging with proper... — read more

Next wave of layoffs?
Is this true? Risk management and business enablement first. Next wave is wholesale credit delivery. OP: @b0+1ks3m4ct1
RIF
Many got RIF notice today. I hope you land in a better place. It’s scary watching people with same job title disappear but nothing worse than experiencing it.
TIS Bo-b
Little surprised that no one is discussing the big cluster bo-b that TIS dropped in the Wealth division last Friday.
TFC cannot afford severance
Hearing rumors that some departments won’t see any RIFs, not because things are stable, but because the company supposedly can’t afford severance packages. Interesting priorities considering there’s still money for multimillion dollar golf... — read more
Bill is Hot mad
I’m hearing that Bill is super angry that some wall st analysts caught him over dinner and informed him that our advisory fees in Wealth are way lower than the industry. Word is the old Scott & Stringfellow advisors gave giant discounts and they... — read more
Truist or stay put
With the published “denied” rumors around Citi acquisition of Truist, should I consider joining TFC in a new role or stay put at my current company?
RMO Layoffs Coming?
This morning’s Town Hall included a quick reference to 1500 roles/teammates will be impacted around 8/1 or 9/1. That is about 48% of RMO. Anyone else hear the same or have any details?
Sometimes reality is more absurd than anything you could make up
It's genuinely amazing how so many incompetent managers have gathered in one place and figured out how to drain the life out of thousands of talented people. One bad decision after another, and they keep insisting they're turning things around.
How bad has morale gotten in your department?
My group hit rock bottom and we keep digging.
RTO will ruin my advancement opportunities
Bill’s talking about how RTO will help teammates further their careers, etc, but that’s 100% NOT TRUE if there are no advancement opportunities in your line of work in your geographic location. I was hired to work remotely and at that time my... — read more
Truist Championship
All these teammates flying into Charlotte for 2-3 days. Hilarious and bad look. Par the course as they say. Never seen more butt kissing since merger.
The other side is greener
I was so scared to leave for a long time. I always thought maybe the problems were me. I've been gone for a year now and I can tell you with confidence it wasn't me. My stress is gone. My weekends are mine again. Leaving was the best decision I've... — read more

Hagerman Spent $500 Million to Lay Us Off
Article published that Infosys won a GCC (outsource work to India) worth $500 Million. Well done Steve, but about 25 years too late and now wasting the company’s money. Scarier thing is Bill and the board even think this is a good idea. Our jobs are... — read more
So how’s RTO going?
Work at a different bank and curious how your RTO5 (return to office 5 days a week) is going? Are people doing it? Coming in late/leaving early? Any modifications or messages from sr. Execs? Thanks for any info.
Every position I applied to has been canceled. Have there been layoffs in the Atlanta area?
I keep getting job cancellation emails from this place for most/all positions I applied for! What's going on in the Atlanta office? Has anyone new joined this year?
Several people in CT&O were let go yesterday, 4/22.
It came out in a manager's meeting, and a lot of names were brought up. Many had been with the bank for years and knew how things were "glued" together and were well regarded. There was mild panic about all of the knowledge they took with them, not... — read more

Shift from FTE to contractors
