Did anyone else see The Source email and notice the new “trophy” that retirees will receive? Truist sends you a freaking trophy after you retire while saying there will be no money allocated for any retirement parties. POS

Received mine. What a joke to spend money on that. Why not forego the arrogance, and cost, of assuming your former employees would want this and reallocate the funds toward a meaningful gift selection pool and let them choose something that would be meaningful to THEM. Not something that consumes space in their trash can. Now, to be fair, we were offered the ability to select a small non value gift - but the selection offered to VSRP departees several years ago out funded todays teammates by 4-5 times. Think top tier brand compared to bargain basement “deal.”
Since the merger none of my colleagues have received a retirement party. My colleagues length of service ranged from 20 to 45 years. Previous workers were able to choose a retirement gift and have a retirement party. The bank doesn’t even give managers money for birthdays anymore, no more money for annual Christmas parties, no more fun Friday money, no more quarterly dinners based on performance and no more new hire lunch money. The retirees brought in some clear trophy with a purple base in disgust they said it was mailed to them as a gift from Truist. They brought them to work to show the current workers how much of a joke it is. We placed them all in the urinal and snapped a celebratory picture because that’s about everything we think of them.
No retirement parties yet how much did they spend mailing everyone the silly purpose roadmap game board with the marker?
Better than receiving Truist purpose points that won't even buy you a keychain off the site.
Let’s give old Bill and Donte a couple of “Participation Trophies “
Your Chief Teammate Officer is as clueless as Bill and the boys. I bet they have some good laughs and trash talk while drinking that 20 year old scotch talking about this kind of nonsense.
Are they as bad as those ugly a-s lighthouses BB&T would give out?
"Trinkets and trophies make them feel better about the mess they’ve made of the entire organization."
It's so petty and belittling. As this is your friggin ugly shirt bowling league (that you don't have time for anyway) instead of your career.
If only folks could shove that trophy somewhere besides the trash....
Yep. Got mine…more acrylic nonsense….in the trash it went. Trinkets and trophies make them feel better about the mess they’ve made of the entire organization. While officially many of us “retired”….lets be perfectly clear…. We LEFT TRUIST. Heck, check LinkedIn….every day we show up at new jobs, generally at different banks. I log on to see where all of my former associates and friends are now. I think I can confidently say, that nobody has their trophy on their new desk!
True. Received mine as part of the reduction.
