“It’s not too late for Truist to pick up the baton from their predecessors and put more importance on corporate citizenship than on corporate ego,” Hull wrote. As of Friday, 672 people have signed the change.org petition.

BB&T employees used to laugh at and make jokes about the Wachovia headquarters building in Winston Salem; now the Truist employees can listen to people make fun of their new purple joke in Charlotte.
Ha, ha, ha, you literally can’t make this stuff up!! Eddie (Kelly) from Christmas Vacation has rolled his RV into town!! Ha, ha, ha!! Well, looking at the sign at least it looks like it will be easy to remove when (not if) this finally implodes and the new owner moves in. I am absolutely amazed the investment community at large remains so totally in the dark about the massive culture clash and talent drain occurring right under the surface.
For those of us in the middle of the storm, this is simply one more data point, out of thousands, that reflects on the “progress” of this merger. The buffoons in charge can’t even park their egos long enough to hang a sign correctly!
Looking at the pictures of the building lit up at night reminds me of Biff’s hotel in Back To The Future 2. Obviously not a good look for one of the largest banks in the country. SMH.
Purple, seriously??
I work downtown and it's really an eyesore and should be removed. Who approves these things anyway. They don't have the class to belong in Charlotte.
"...But I definitely think that the placard looking nameplates that they have are not exactly high design" - HA! You think? Tacky, tacky, tacky - it's an homage to Kelly King's ego.
It's a joke, and they're a joke. It's just hideous, what are they thinking.
