Thread regarding Truist Bank layoffs

This is typical Truist. The likely issue? You’re smarter than management and too strong of an employee to be one of their sheep. In their eyes, they’re humbling you. But in reality, they’re scared of you out-performing them and making decisions that lead to success. Especially if you’re in CSBB/DCXM, that’s exactly how those a--hats under daddy Donta do it. None of the managers in that org are of sound mind.

@b7 - Thank you, friend. I’ll be moving on soon, but I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me over the years. Your support helped me grow my career in a field I truly enjoy and have a genuine passion for. I’m grateful for that and wish you all the best.

The best, easiest, and fastest way to give yourself a big raise is to get hired somewhere else.

Look within the banking industry and beyond, you have transferrable skills, and a great work ethic. Someone out there will appreciate it, and compensate you generously for it.

Don't waste any more time hoping and dreaming things were fair, when clearly you are in a den of vipers who don't play fair. Extricate yourself from this toxic situation, and find something better with bigger pay and more opportunities to grow.

This has always been the case but it got worse after merger and the Suntrust takeover. In the last couple of years it has ratcheted up as the Wells leadership has come on board. As someone previously said it’s a big club and 98 per cent of us aren’t in it.

You cannot outperform favoritism. It happened to me in TAS. I left TAS and was promoted. Move on. It is not easy but it is worth it.

Take a look at Mike Lyon’s LinkedIn page and view his recent reactions yesterday and it will give you an idea. Another business leader posted about keeping lists of workers who voice themselves, have complaints or don’t go with the flow. It said to keep these lists of anyone who speaks up on excel so you know who to fire. It also spoke about conducting popularity contests among the peers to see who you should fire. Mike Lyons loved the post. As someone who’s a leader in this same environment for over two decades, I can assure you this is the same culture we are still in here. Nothing changed, favoritism and retaliation are alive and well. You need to keese arses, drink cool aide and be willfully blind to management misconduct if you want to move forward. If you have a backbone and morals, you have a target on your back regardless of your skillsets or performance. This is the Truist Way.

They already know who they want when they post the position. I've seen it several times & have been told as much. They promote their friends - doesn't matter how good you are or what you do.

Not sure where you are in the company but i am in TAS and what you describe is exactly the way this department functions. It’s been getting worse over the past few years. If you’re not in the right cliques, you might as well just do your job and go home.

People wonder why good employees become disgruntled or eventually go rogue. Gee, I wonder why. 🤔

Treat people poorly, ignore the warning signs, and then act shocked when they stop playing along. What a mystery!

At some point, maybe the problem isn’t the employees. It’s the way they’re being treated. Zero sympathy for this je-k of a manager or Truist!

@a1 - Exactly. Going to create some significant operational headaches in the near term, all entirely within the rules. Beyond that, it's not longer my problem.

It's a big club, and you're not in it.
