As expected didn’t take ML long to kick him out

@vp BINGO! Just know, it is not white people. It is THOSE people.
It fills me with righteous fury too.
@fb completely agree. Truist was and still is full of privileged white people who cover for each other - whether it be se-----y harassment swept under the rug or incompetence. I hope they all get what they deserve and get canned
@bz For word salads like this, you gotta pick out the bones and eat the meat. With that being said, I prayyyyyyyyyyyyyy he flattens the organization. Too many layers of trifling leaders doing nothing but taking up space.
@fb Your point might be better taken if you had written it properly. Grammar is your friend; vulgar and childish emoji’s are not. Oh, and you might look up “irony” in your spare time. Claiming racism in a post full of “you people” and generalizations was supposed to be a bad thing??
I am my people, no one else rides on my tab and I have not brought up DEI or anything other than the rotten content of the subject’s character.
You should quit the group think and the mass generalizations. You have names, name them. Specifics, spell them out. Otherwise, you sound silly.
@fp Yeah, White folks. I knew and worked under DW organizations. He got what he deserved, and I’m not denying that. That man was an a-s. But your people keep bringing up the DEI nonsense. Truist is full of racists, just like the current administration.
You ever meet or work with DW? Things there speak for themselves.
Additionally, do you recognize that DW could be a clown and some “white people” are also messing up the country but neither matter is linked?
You know who really messed up the country - the people who made everything about groups and group identity rather than individuals and the context of each persons character.
@ct WTF 🤬 is wrong with you white people huh? If a black persons is hired it’s DEI - it can’t be based on merit or skills? GTFOH the entire country is being ruined by a bunch of uneducated, incompetent white folks and so is this company. 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Ahem, there are still a few of KK's False Christian Brigade that need to be shown the Fire.
Is his crony RR next?
Hope he hits other areas soon. Some of these upper management folks have let their position go to their heads.
Any of you whining legacy people who think it gets easier are kidding yourselves. Go work for Home Bank.
Who replaced Donta?
@ab For those that think DEI is dead, you might look up Steve Boland
He brought in a BoA crony who was Moynihan’s hatchet person (as all in that role have been). Just remember: it can get worse.
Not really bc I see it like this: DW was KK on steroids (but probably exactly the same at the same age). Entitled, imperious, never responsible, nasty to underlings, a bad leader. His race had nothing to do with it, his role model did.
@ac Your racism is showing. There are a whole lot of white males that also created this cr-p show.
This is spot on. The wrong people were winning and he was the most wrong. 50 million dollars and a devastated business line of the bank later he gets to walk away.
Check out this word salad from the call:
We want to make sure we are surrounded by people who have the experience and have done this before, where we are putting key investments in. Today’s changes were really to add to and complement the existing base of talent we have here, flatten that organization out some, add to the depth, and as I said to Mike, create more digestible units where you can really hold people accountable to key performance stats. If there are other opportunities to do that and add talent, people want to come work with us, we will do it. We have a great team here and feel very good about the foundation we are working off of.
If KK and BR had gotten rid of DW years ago, we might still have some of the great talent he pushed out the door, both directly and indirectly. I’m cautiously optimistic about the future, but unfortunately, the damage may already be done.
Too bad this place hemorrhaged a lot of really good people before getting rid of this clown. Truist needs to clean house of a lot of upper management on the retail side. Especially those who were put in positions that they truly shouldn’t have been. I’m looking at Premier Leadership and all of the nepotism and favoritism that goes on there. Hiring your friends and forcing out great leaders!
@b9 There were many in his own building he could have helped and did not.
He Knows better.
Donte will be fine. He made a ton of money since the MOE despite delivering very poor results. I’m sure he’s a good person but he should have been pushed out years ago.
Didn’t BillyBob and the BOD give this clown a multimillion retention bonus a couple of years ago? Some of you think this is about race? Tell me you’re an id--t without telling me you’re an id--t. By the way the newly appointed vice chair is black, mo--ns.
@b6 I Agree. WE are Truist right? Be it!
There are still a few of KK's False Christian Brigade that need to be shown the Fire.
The guy got 45 million or so over the last few years while our customer satisfaction ratings collapsed.
Donta was fired for poor performance. The proof is in the metrics. Thats all.
Just checked the proxy, DW gets a golden parachute package worth $21.4m upon exit. Dang!
This. Ball don’t lie. The numbers were not there.
Race or gender is 100% irrelevant to his termination! People aren't upset about who he was; they're reacting to the results he delivered which were very little to none! That’s it! The guy spent more time at social events and on social media sites than he did with boots on the ground with teammates and clients!
@ap Do you need me to show you my hall pass?
Gaining some confidence back in the bank. Get the spotlight over in the DC/MD market. More work to do there with a couple of Donta’s hand picked “leaders”.
Some may have racial animus but I don’t. I dont care about that and have never mentioned it here or elsewhere. Still, that guy didn’t treat people well and expected things of others he didn’t provide himself. Very low EQ and self awareness. It was straight from KK’s playbook and a ki-ler concoction for a leader.
Those who call someone a dei hire just want to say the N word! It is a dog whistle why don’t you say what you mean weirdos. I didn’t realize I worked with so many bigots. You wish you could be him,make his money, have the connections. Say what you mean and I hope I don’t work with any of your teams
@ar "Keep your religion to yourself" as we celebrate another fake Diwali holiday!
Christ is King, we'll unapologetically shout it from the roof tops.
@ab SYBAU!!!!
@aq There is a connection. Wonder how the Virginia region was performing?
@af agree about fake Christian Brigade. Keep your religion to yourself. We have quite a few Liberty U. in our department. Liberty U. had the President that had a thing with the pool boy. Top notch uni there!
@ 30 years in the business and you still haven't figured out how to stay on topic?
