To the post about the communication DEI folks? Stepped on the wrong toes?

I hate how leadership always gets away with cr-p like this. Are they ever going to take responsibility for their own mistakes and their poor planning, instead of depending on cuts as an easy way out? Is there any way for us to hold them accountable?... — read more 

My top goal for the rest of the year is to find a way out of Truist. If I'm not laid off, I'll leave on my own. I'm not staying here a day more than I have to.

I'm afraid they will make drastic cuts and discontinue our pension plan. Thoughts?

The news of layoffs hit me like a ton of bricks. Am I done? Are those who were most recently hired the first to be laid off?

Now I decided to wait it out and see if I get laid off. I'm going to laugh so hard if they pay me to do something I was about to do anyhow.

What do we know?

Has anyone else noticed how quickly the annual engagement survey has gone by the wayside? BB&T always made a big deal of reviewing the results and identifying areas for improvement. Post MOE, SunTrust leadership doesn’t seem to value those... — read more
