Thread regarding Truist Bank layoffs

Truist LinkedIn Is Classic Case of Stockholm Syndrome

Scroll through LinkedIn posts by Truist people and they are all gushing over how wonderful a place it is. So much purpose and care!

These people have to either be seriously delusional or feel like it's the only way to make Bill and his BCG stormtroopers skip them over in the RIFs.

These people need to wake up and realize they are being held hostage and no amount of over the top butt kissing on LI is going to save them.

People getting angry because their garbage bootlicking takes are downvoted. Such babies.

Calm down diverse means white women with a minority stake in the suppliers businesses. See how they snuck in ethnic and gender diversity. They think we are a little slow on the uptake. No one is actually making substantive investments outside of the majority power structure. They've been making these types of declarations for years but things have barely changed since the 50s and in fact have gotten worse for everyone except the investor class. All smoke and mirrors. But it does upset those in the majority that are disenfranchised and turn them against those that are poor and without power just like them. Keep the pawns fighting over scraps so they dont unify and organize. Seriously look at Truist executive team and board. DEI my @ss.

These are the brown nosing butt kissers who always slither their way to the top to earn brownie points.

Truist hit its goal to increase ethnically diverse representation in senior leadership roles to at least 15% a year ahead of schedule, according to the bank’s latest ESG report, which disclosed that 43% of Truist’s board members are racially, ethnically or gender diverse.

Additionally, $803.4 million, or 10.8%, of the bank’s spending is connected to diverse suppliers as of June, the bank said.

I'm certain many of these "gushing" LinkedIn posts are not sincere. Managers in my Region strongly "suggesting" that LinkedIn posts be made. They are looking for them and If you don't do so, your manager is making note of your silence.

Maybe we can cut costs enough to have a bigger star than John Legend at the Performance Awards next year.

Uhh. Truist force ranks. Total acolytes of the jack Welch style. As if three people on a 3 person team can't be great but now you gotta dump one. Now teammates are at cross purpose. If I help you and you force rank higher than me it's a bad day. But we one team!!!

Whenever some uses the term "amazing", you should be suspect. Few things in life are truly "amazing", unless you are a small child or a member of Experience Design (which is not mutually exclusive).

@seg+1oR5ZXaP would love to know what LOB you work in. It is refreshing to hear something positive and and outsider perspective since you are fairly new year. I hope this is something we could learn more about.

I am fairly new to Truist (just over a year) and my experience here has been great. My manager and in fact the managers up to 3 up from me have been amazing. Complete respect and willingness to share knowledge. I came from Wells Fargo which likely gives me a different perspective than those that have seen changes since the merger. Wells Fargo has become a terrible place to work since the influx of J P Morgan reject management, with senior managers not wanting to even have contact with anyone other than direct reports. Regular managers micro-managing every second, to the point that as soon as you go on "away" status you can expect a text or call. 10+ hour days were a norm and forced ranking for mid-year and end of year reviews (20% have to get below a "meets" rating).
My main concerns here are the recent announcement of layoffs "sizable reduction" and the comment of spans and layers which is an old JPM statement and makes me think we too may be subject soon to a similar downward spiral.

I'm not saying people don't have reason to complain just understand that not everyone has the same views about how bad it is here.

In mortgage it's disgusting. Our job is not to originate loans or serve clients, it's the continuous drum beat of purpose. The only metric management cares about is LMI and their beloved Salesforce. Starving the origination and support staff runs a close second.
It's way past purge time for management.

You can’t FoxNews yourself into profit either. Save the “anti-woke” crusade for 8 Chan.

Depends on what market you are in. If you are in Charlotte, Atlanta, DC, Maryland or Texas, Truist has more “care” for you. All other markets, they could “care less”. Might as well change the name back to SunTrust.

Or they’ve enabled Heresay to push content out on their LinkedIn feeds. Pretty funny when something runs from someone who got the RIF.

The company made billions upon billions last year. I’d guess you are one of the selfish who calls raising the minimum wage to a living wage as woke.

It really is - completely vomit worthy. Purpose & Care doesn’t equate to revenue and bottom-line return to the share holder. You can’t Woke yourself into profitability. I’ve had conversations with bright-eyed associates who were forced out of Truist and the Purpose & Care magically turns to Spite & Disdain shortly after. It’s an act of desperation - nothing more. Complete culture of brainwashing.
