I used to be at the top amongst my peers every year, always top .0001% and when we became Suntruist everything changed, the culture, teammate unappreciation, sales goals vs customer experience ect. The bank literally did a 180 upside down, everyone leaves and when you perform very well here, you get crumby to no recognition and no reward. Top performers are now treated the same as mediocre, and that is no treatment at all, no one is cared about. When you do a million back flips then you can be recognized by a peer not the bank or a manager and the peer recognition is limited to a scripted copy and paste baloney nothing actually rewarding, and you might not get heat for a day until your new ridiculous goals come. Systems are broke and no morale anywhere. All departments slammed and new people everywhere who do not know what they are doing because the company's values went out the window so everyone talented left. Does anyone else just not GAF about their job here and do the bare minimum and occupy and breathe? Literally everyone I know around, above and below me do this in protest to the conditions and I wonder if others are doing it as well? I would love to see this place unionized but I think not performing and instead performing according to how we are treated and paid and rewarded and recognized will make them wake up. I am interested in hearing if anyone else out there intentionally bends the bank over backwards back like they do to us daily haha I don't remember the last day I came into work with intentions of actually doing anything for the company but breathe, actually i do, it was when it was BBT.

As a manager, do you listen and make change? I have been begging for help. The expectation grew exponentially while the number of clients in my portfolio is at least 5-10 times more than what out HSTI partners manage. They have no clue. Leadership doesn’t step up yo help they just pile more on. I am out as soon as I find another job.
@1vna+1fFrpnNP I think these thoughts are why this person is griping! @OP+1fFrpnNP HAS SKIN in the game because they want to see things get better and might be loyal and rather see things fixed. As a manager I have more respect for those who stay and tell me their problems and try to fix than those who leave you out of no where because things are wrong. I don't think everyone works hard here before the merger at all, I think that depends on what side of the merger you were on. I agree with @OP+1fFrpnNP I think slowing productivity is the right way to do it and worst case the leadership will look stupid when an otherwise top performer is not doing well when they have a legitimate reason and already griped and demonstrated ability to perform.
Time to get out my friend, nothing will improve. If you're that good, it should be easy to find other work, just lighten up on giving yourself too many accolades, everyone worked hard to get where they were before the merger. Good luck

Sounds like you are disentangling yourself from this sick system.
