Anyone else developed major depression or another mental illness since working at Truist? I’ve worked for other banks and consulting firms and my mental health was great. Since being at Truist I have trouble sleeping, panic attacks and major depression. I have trouble getting out of bed and even the slightest task feels so hard :(. I feel so empty and hollow

Some of you people are pathetic! It’s a job, period, full stop. Do what you can in 8 hours, shut down, go home. Get a life. No Truist doesn’t give a damn, surprise. All that care nonsense is just that. Get a grip. No life isn’t fair and jobs are a means to an end NOT YOUR LIFE.
@hes+1raTZLDo Truist was seriously messing with me mentally. I met with the Truist provided counselor on the regular (they don't report back to Truist). The best advice I got was to worry the things that are in my control. I started working with one of the Truist career coaches on a plan to get out of there. Take advantage of those "perks" being offered. Within a couple months, I found a much better fit outside Truist. Leaving has improved my mental health a 1000%.
@hes+1raTZLDo Would really love to get your true info and talk outside a blog...I'm in bad shape right now, same exact things, invaded my life and my psyche to the point I don't know who I am right now. If you have gone through those channels, I would love to do it correctly.
@obd+1raTZLDo - Thanks for sharing. Hope the therapy is helping and hope you’re getting better.
Yes. And the ironic thing is that Truist is having to pay for my therapy.
I used to be on an application team that had a hilariously toxic culture and less-than-zero work-life balance, and it did wear away at my mental health. I improved my situation by leaving. Even the act of putting in applications and interviewing for other jobs helped to improve my mood.
@zmb+1raTZLDo If you know who that is, you don't need to know anything more. If you do, you could always ask people that work for him. Assuming their emails haven't been shut down already.
Need more details on JP. Whats the issue; is this a team i should avoid & why. Thanks!
Getting RIF’ed was the best thing that ever happened to me at Truist. My mental health is rapidly improving.

Take heart that certain good decisions are being made in EDA. JP got his wings clipped, but his LDP cert kept him in the nest. Crossed fingers for next round.
@ufo+1raTZLDo I have faith that you are a ch--d.
No because, thankfully, my parents taught me how to handle life’s ups and downs. And, thankfully, my faith has most importantly. Life happens. None of us are in control of what is happening. You try to find another job. Until then you do your job to the best of your ability for two reasons: you can look yourself in the mirror each morning and know you didn’t fall into the same sewer as management and that if someone says something about you it would be a lie (Book of Titus).
all the paper tiger leaders from Various LOB should have their own wall of SHAME listing here. layer's of Managers just reading emails and ploting political games rather than really trying to solve anything meaningfully.
My mental and physical health has greatly improved since getting Riff’d.
Unfortunately Truist doesn't care...all of the teammates under our current VP and Sr. VP are miserable. So much so that people were hoping to be included in the rif and when they weren't, were disappointed. Just when you think that morale can't get any worse it then hit an all time low. People are currently looking for other places of employment and are doing everything they can to jump ship. It's not necessarily Truist that is the problem overall its the cr-ppy management that we report to. It does no good to go to HR. They are not there to protect us. They are there to protect the company. Many of us have had horrible personal interactions with said management so it's not as if an issue can reported "anonymously". They will know who reported the issue and and are very vengeful. Retaliation is very much part of our everyday lives....It shouldn't be that way....
Agreed. I’m no longer at Truist, but it ruined my overall mood. Depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated….
You seriously need to make a change for your own well being
They have a podcast on the importance of mental health - Truist Cares.
