Thread regarding Truist Bank layoffs

Is it hard to get fired from Truist

As an individual contributor is it difficult to get fired from Truist for performance issues? Can someone outline the steps that are taken such as putting a teammate on a performance improvement plan before the teammate is terminated?

Yeah, that’s the way you do it, money for nothing and your chicks for free…

I can't speak to the specifics of performance improvement plans, but I've been with the bank for 6 years in a few different back office roles, and I know of a whopping two people who have been fired for cause. One was consistently no-showing meetings and failing to do what little work he was asked to do. This carried on for about 6-8 months until they finally gave him the boot, and that was with a manager who was really trying to move things along.

The other was having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate.

In my experience, underperformers either get shuffled around between teams, or they stick around until they can dupe some other bank into giving them money.

Seemingly if you have a good old boy manager who's bung has been properly kissed, you can underperform/not perform for years.

@1knh+1rtjl6jZ - thanks. Sounds like a lot of people on this forum need to quit caring about work as much and just “check the box” 9-5 and call it a day!

There would be documentation outlined through corrective action which would start with a written verbal warning or verbal warning. Unless is was code of conduct, you simply wouldn’t be terminated based on performance
