Thread regarding Truist Bank layoffs

@mb Some of us have been back far longer than that!

@kv they haven’t returned to the office yet?? That’s insane, I thought that they did already. Us poor saps in Wilson had to come back in July.

And what about Atlanta, the folks who haven’t RTO yet? Rumor has it 1) they have no capacity for teammates, 2) traffic and 3) costs to park. I’m interested in knowing if these folks will get a free pass including managers while others are required to be in office 5 days a week with no direct reports on site. SMH

It’s ridiculous. You have a manager that works from home dictating that we have to be in the office five days a week despite the pest infestation we have in our building. Other departments in the building are home for the next 2 weeks because of it but our manager insists that we stay in the building because they cannot make a decision on their own.

@dv Says the person working remotely. Jeez

@OP some people are special.

I’m guessing everyone complaining here is from one of the legacy banks.

My manager complains if I take just two hours off, yet when others do it, it's no problem at all. If a manager wants to be lenient, that flexibility needs to apply across the board. Everyone should be able to happily take a couple of hours off without a hassle. Ultimately, this is 100% the manager's responsibility.

using sick time that you have accrued (a benefit) is not the same as getting a free pass. why wouldnt you use your benefits to - wait for it - benefit you.

The uneven application of the rules is intentional. It's a good tactic for keeping the plebs fighting each other instead of the actual enemy.

Lol. That's just part of the company politics, which are extra toxic here. Management's massive double standards go way beyond RTO, and it’s exactly why the bank is bleeding top talent

You can't say that. You don't know what people got going on. I use every ounce of my sick time and vacation days to stay away from that musty smelly office.

Yep. Same thing on my team. Some people are expected to follow the 5-day RTO policy to the letter, while others seem to get a free pass all the time. It’s honestly frustrating how inconsistently management enforces the rules.
