I made work my priority, including giving up most of my weekends, and Truist outsourced my job anyway. I won't put myself through that for an employer ever again.

Hate to tell you by most banks do this.
@fw change jobs every 3 years? That's not true. That's job hopping and shows you're unreliable. The benchmark is 7 years and then you should leave
I did the opposite and barely worked 20 hours per week during my entire last two years at Truist. I realized it didn't matter how much you worked and I still go basically the same raise, bonus and stocks as I did when working hard.
Happens to most of us eventually. You most likely did your job perfectly well. We cannot compete with the labor arbitrage. Its a rigged game and we are handicapped in the game.
Take this lesson, and learn to work your wage and your job description. Clock in on time, clock out on time. If you are in the middle of something and its time to clock out, just stop completely and turn the computer off and go home.
Always look for a better opportunity. Never stay more than 3 years at a job. Leave for 15+% increase in compensation.
It is a hard lesson. But the days of putting 20% more than 100% being rewarding are over. Only do what you are expected and nothing more. Because the more will eat into the things that actually matter and bring some sort of joy.
Wish you all the best.
Truist was awful at rewarding performance. Glad I left and sorry you're going through that.
Recent layoff? Which department?
