I experienced a significant reduction in my workforce, resulting in the loss of a considerable number of employees. Unfortunately, I was also among those who were let go. Approximately two months ago, senior management approached the managers and inquired about their recommendations for potential layoffs. Despite the pressure, I refused to sacrifice my employees by suggesting anyone for dismissal. This decision may have contributed to the impact on my own position. Despite my long tenure with the bank and consistently strong performance, it did not spare me from the consequences.
Multiple leadership changes in the last several years have changed PNC from a bank I loved to one I don’t even recognize.
The leadership team handled the situation (IMO) in a distasteful manner, leaving me with a sense of distrust towards any statements made by them. Their approach was so slick that it further exacerbated my uncertainty and skepticism.
