Anyone else extremely ticked off by the new CEO banning personal decorations for the holidays from the branches. Seriously what kind of heartless grinch bans Christmas decorations. I can't see how this will generate business or new relationships. Of anything this will pi-s off existing clients. Meanwhile the company spends millions paying to clean 20 year old carpet like it's going to make a difference. At least keep the morale of employees during the holidays. No wonder clients and employees are jumping ship.

So, instead of worrying about Truist eliminating your role in the branch with an AI agent (which yes… is happening), you’re upset about Lyons saying you can’t have your gaudy Christmas decor on a desk that will eventually belong to a bot? Makes sense…
The comfy old days are over. Get used to it.
I don’t work at TFC but did a few years ago. I’ve seen a lot of “personal” holiday items that look pretty cr-ppy. Plus there’s always someone who goes just a bit too far and causes questions. It’s a business that has to please everyone and offend no one.
But celebrating Diwali in the offices will be acceptable.
next thing you know you will realize you are an adult in 2026 whining on a internet forum about how the people that pay you are running their business how they want to run it.
Next thing you know, we won’t be able to say Merry Christmas when we answer the phones.
Wait - who is getting their carpets cleaned?!?! Not my office. :(
@c4 you’re not wrong but damn it su-ks working in a branch. At least let them look cheerful and let people have a moments fun decorating.
White washed tombs complaining they can't get white wash.
@OP “extremely”? Not really. Super secret: you don’t need decorations to spread the love and joy of Christ and the real reason for the season. Maybe where a cross necklace if you must have a decoration.
@OP this is unbelievable!!
The end of August and going into September sealed the fate for Truist. It’s long been a sinking ship but it’s reached the point of no return. I spoke with multiple colleagues this week. The ones who quit a few weeks ago are in their glory! The ones who are still here are waiting for their background check to clear at another place or still interviewing. There’s almost no one left and there’s so much toxicity among many of the pre merger folk. Some real narcissistic Suntrust people who play favorites and retaliate. Florida is cleaned out, there’s almost all new people.
While not fair for the teammates and customers, it is a start. Considering that more than not at Truist sp-t in the eye of Christ each day with Kelly and Bill at the top of that list, not having Christmas decorations at least provides consistency with the Truth and quits with the mockery.
Righteous Gemstones for sure.
