Does it seem to you that Truist is really not managing to balance short-term and long-term business pressures very well?
Leadership is so blinded by short-term goals that I think they have completely ignored visions for the future. I’m still here only because at my age I don’t want the challenge of new beginnings, but if I were younger, I would try not to stay here any longer.
The “leadership” is only concerned with delivering Truist up to the globalist Agenda 2030. Don’t believe me? Research it.
I worked for SunTrust years ago, all of them were pompous aes and still pompous aes now, Nothing has changed, same sh*t different day!
The problem with SunTrust teammates is that they suffer from "smartest person in the room" syndrome and look down their noses at their BB&T counterparts. However, my experience was that they are psychopaths looking to pass the blame and take all of the glory. And unhelpful is a huge understatement when describing most of them (of course not all). It seems their only really qualification is how to create forms and complicated processes to keep work from ever getting done. Glad I left.
suntrust employees are nothing but unhelpful and doing nothing but ignore emails and pass the buck. it takes 4-5 attempts to find someone who wants to help/has the answer you are looking for. Are they just hoping they get laid off or something? The culture of this company is absolutely toxic.
If you ask me, Kelly was the greedy one and Suntrust leadership saw and ran with it and it is a mess! Kelly just wanted his name associated as the last CEO of BBandT. Why do you think he got “approved “ to stay a few years longer. I think it has been in the works a long time and his name will go down in history but not how he wanted!
@tyq yes. This second group you describe are the former STI folks who love to use lingo that makes them sound intelligent but they never say anything. Everything they say is sales pitch about how great they and their area are. They NEVER answer a question usually because they have no idea how to. They are the reason integration will be a miserable failure and by the end of 2022 a lot of it will be blown up and started over. A different group of people will be ask to reinvent the wheel as the former grunts attempting to do the integration will be run out on a rail. They will not be the ones responsible for the failure but will pay the price. Meanwhile nothing will have changed except one great small bank was destroyed by one suspect small bank. Kelly has screwed this merger and a great regional bank royally.
It appears to me that there are two very discernible “types” of individuals left on our leadership team.
One group actually did care about their employees, was bothered by how poorly many were treated in this merger, but ultimately chose not to speak up and risk their merger bonus. This group has now checked out, and seemingly just waiting for a big payday. They can be readily identified by a zombie like presentation style.
The second group are 100% in it for themselves, and (interestingly) almost show disdain towards Truist. To them, Truist employees are nameless currency to be spent as needed for personal gain. This group is easily identified by copious amounts of empty corporate speak, a love of meaningless reporting to quell their paranoia, and a sneering discomfort when forced to spend time with subordinates (aka teammates).
Does anyone else see it this way?
