Who was happy Senior Audit Managers and above were sent to Charlotte this week and were in conferences all day?!?! Finally could get some work done. I hope they had fun at top golf last night.
Davos
Anyone have an update on how Bill’s new jet performed for the flight to Davos?
Pension
Who manages Truist's pension plan?
Truist to eliminate DEI
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... — read more
2025 Branch Banking Incentive Plan
Just found out on a conference call yesterday. Instead of your branch having to meet goal to get a quarterly bonus now your region has to meet goal. Which Truist knows will never happen. So now we will be lucky to get a raise or incentive.
Raises and Aip
Anyone hear anything?
Bill being Bill
If you can’t dazzle them with science baffle them with BS: We see multiple paths and initiatives that, with proper execution, will result in improved performance, which we expect to show you in 2025," Rogers said. "I'm as optimistic as ever about... — read more
Resignation timing to get bonus?
If AIP discussions are scheduled by March 3, and payout is around March 10th, what day should a 2-week resignation letter be submitted in order to get the full bonus check without penalty?
RTO
The RTO that is ridiculous. Unless you are client facing, how productive is sitting in your car for hours a day. We merged 2 banks from our homes. That said. EL will just say find another job, because they would rather bear the cost of training a... — read more
Glassdoor Ratings
Why is it Truist has lower ratings on Glassdoor relative to other banks? Is the employee experience that much worse? Curious what others have to say.
Another one gone
Deputy Chief Risk Officer Mo Ramani didn’t stay long after being passed over by Bender as Starnes replacement. A number of people were passed over to bring him in as Starnes future replacement and then bootlicker Brad got the job over him. The... — read more
Bank wide call
What's the bank wide call today at 5pm EST?
CTO Outsourcing
Any truth to the rumors of Accenture taking over more groups in CTO?
What is going on with the Alabama Region in CCB
Getting merged with Florida or Georgia. There is no RP there still, what is the word on any realignment?
A change in leadership has no bearing on us
Whatever happens in the future, we are still going to be exposed to bad management, overworked, and treated like numbers. There will be layoffs and reorgs. There will be different attrition tactics. Cost-cutting, inflating stock prices, and... — read more
Beau departure - Sale of Truist
Beau’s departure is the first step in selling Truist later this year. Bill will announce his retirement by June. Inevitably Truist will be sold by end of year. The sale of TIH along with resignations of C Suite and Board members are all major red... — read more
Beau leaving
What does this mean for Truist? Is more layoffs in the near future a rumor?
Audit Favorites
Audit is only hiring their favorites from their past organization and no one else has a chance. Rules are bent to get them in. I cannot believe how blatant it is. Do not waste your time applying, they already know who they are hiring.
ATL WCD moving to the Battery
Thoughts on the movement of CIB, CRE, and structured credit teams moving from downtown ATL to the battery? Seems like it punishes those who chose to live close to the existing office. The battery isn’t even inside the perimeter.
Free yourself from bondage
Free yourself from the bondage that is Truist. This place ruins people’s lives in every way possible. Enjoy life and leave Truist this year!
Downer
Anyone work closely with him? What do you all think?
A few more hours and we'll be in 2025
Since this year was horrible for Truist and its employees, let's hope the next one is better than the current one in every way possible!
5 year performance.
Just wanted to congratulate Billy Bob and friends for the -12% return over the past five years. Keep up the good work!
odds are
by year end next year, truist will be wells fsrgo
RTO = Soft Layoff
There is no evidence that RTO improves metrics or the culture. All the empirical studies show the opposite.
Pension
Many teammates received an email announcing we would be pension eligible starting Jan 1, 2025. This probably means pension will not be eliminated if they are expanding this benefit to new teammates.
Unexpected Holiday Bonus
I was pleasantly surprised to get a very nice bonus in my account yesterday. I asked my manager and he said it was a holiday bonus as a token of thanks for our hard work this year. Awesome!
Unrealistic expectations
There is a lot of pressure to meet unrealistic goals. We all work very hard to at least come close, and many of us spend too much time in the office. And yet we are regularly treated as if we are expendable, and there are no symbolic nor tangible... — read more
A flawed approach
Promoting good employees is obviously cheaper and more effective than constantly replacing them with new hires - a five-year-old could figure that out. On top of that, promoting su-k-ups who can’t do their jobs is a total waste of resources. Yet... — read more
Come on Grant -
Come on Grant. Are we going to go into the new year with the same people who have inspired the mass exodus of teammates, at the heart of the discord amongst leadership and simply destroyed since they came on board? The holiday gift we are all... — read more

Moderators
The willingness of the moderators to delete posts at the insistence of the c suite make this site both useless and pointless. I will expect this post to be deleted as well.
About Remote work at the end of the townhall meeting
Someone asked about the in office requirement and the CIO talked about some absolute nonsense and then he opened up about remote work saying that it did not contribute during pandemic which is a bold faced lie and literally the worst response. This... — read more
Purple Stickers
I keep finding purple stickers all over my hub facility and it says, “When you row, we grow”. This is priceless, people are cutting out the “g” in the first grow. I’m assuming that this means people are feeling like they are growing a companies... — read more
Bill said this at the Goldman Sachs conference yesterday
William Rogers One of the foundational elements of our strategy is to attract, develop and retain great teammates. So they're all sort of parts of that. So the attract is really part of that, that's what we're talking about. We've brought a lot of... — read more
Regional Call Tomorrow Out of No Where
Out of the blue regional call. Last year it was lay offs. Anyone want to bet what bad news it is this year?
5 year anniversary of merger passed and no celebration no mention by the powers to be
That says it all. It came and went with zero fanfare
No Vision and No plan 2025
Retail LOB senior leadership being advised to tell sales managers that there’s no vision and plan for next year. They said after the executive meeting this past week that it’s still undecided and no plan. The conversation is TBD in NC at the end of... — read more
