So instead of recognizing performers traditionally, via raises and promotions, just wait until someone nominates them for an award. I know top performers who haven’t gotten a promotion in over 8 years. Managers have no power to promote and the job title structure/hierarchy leaves minimal room/opportunities to justify promotions. For example, no matter how hard one works or increases productivity only a limited number of people may be designated distinctive or exceptional.
How many years has it been since you’ve had a promotion?

@pek+1uB0JFyD I agree with you! I used to be in retail in NFL coast not long ago. The senior leadership team is toxic, corrupt and demonstrates favoritism. I only received a “good side” when I gave my notice. Leaving was the best choice I’ve made.
Sounds like there may be issues with retail leadership in Florida. Quite a few posts are referencing sales practices and favoritism. Hmmm
I tried to get a nomination to become P2P but my region leader pushed a pretty girl who he’s friendly with before nominating me. Nominations at Truist are purely personal agendas. I had way better performance than the girl my RL nominated, if looking at performance within the scope of work and relative to the job. Now I’m stuck in retail and I’m too far from the Orlando hub to work at these back office positions unless I move. It would be better if it was automatic based on a given criteria because people pick and choose who they like.
I fully agree. People wanted raises and promotions not a hue Hefner experience with bill and his rainbow pride crowd cronies. The person over our region leader in south east has on their LinkedIn that they are extremely excellent at rewarding top performers and retaining them. I swear almost everyone in the north Florida on Retail who is talented has left and those few who are talented and still here are extremely frustrated with senior leadership and planning their exits also because they are political with promotions and favoritism rather than rewarding hard work based on performance. The toxicity at Truist is next level and trying to give someone something when they are on their way out isn’t an effective retention strategy.
