Thread regarding Truist Bank layoffs

Dress for Your Day (if you work at a gas station)

Our dress code policy has gone off the rails. Sweatpants, fuzzy socks, Crocs, tshirts, bonnets, athleisure wear, BEDROOM SLIPPERS! No pride in the way you look. Granted our building is not client facing, and I guess the managers do not care. I feel like they are going to take our casual workdays away from us soon because a select few dress like they rolled out of bed and decided to go to Walmart.

I would also humbly request people to wash their hands after they take a leak! It is disgusting seeing some not wash their hands and later someone shakes their hand. DISGUSTING.

If you aren’t client facing, who cares? We spent years at home in comfortable clothes only to come back to sh---y cube farms and now you want us to dress up for you too? Nah.

Used to work in a building with WF call center. Just losers being losers.

Wear a suit and tie and leave everyone else alone.
If their manager isn’t doing anything about it then that’s on the manager.

You’re upset because you “FEEL” people should have “more self respect”.. those same people may feel the same about you.
If they are outside of dress code management will address it. If not; mind your own closet. If it’s really that serious then submit a teammate

Become a manager and you can discipline subordinates

@apj+1unSW8Ol So sorry, but you are wrong. Need to remember this company has different divisions.

Jeans and a polo or button down shirt or not the problem. Wearing your fing pajamas no matter where you work is ridiculous.

We aren’t a suit and tie establishment and we aren’t providing that type of service so get over it.
Our leaders can’t afford to compensate us properly so they try to make things “fun” by having dress up days, jeans days etc

Don’t like it? There’s a few prisons you could probably apply to.
I would have personally preferred a raise, but after PGA sponsorships, retention bonuses to DW and MM this week etc. there’s no room for the rest of us. I’ll take my jeans days if that’s all that’s being offered. It’s better than a corporate pizza party.

I’m client facing, but I don’t understand the gripe with those non client facing. Dress however you want if it’s within dress code. Ultimately you’re following what’s approved and if anything just reflects on your personal image via contradicting opinions of others

Ah yes, I too remember when people in 1910 complained that people were wearing Casual Suits to work instead of formal dress and when the men started wearing gasp pants instead of knickers! The degredation of our society is real NO ONE HAS PRIDE ANYMORE

Casual dress doesn’t mean wearing sweats or flip flops or athletic leisure wear to the office. You’re not going to the grocery store for eggs. It is embarrassing to see what some people wear to the office.

Walmart and gas station employees have more prestige and self-respect than anyone still working at Truist. You work at a bank?? C'mon, man.

People's livelihoods are literally on the chopping block. We're underpaid, undervalued, and forced to put a smile on our faces and keep quiet for every decision made. I guarantee you the last thing non client facing employees are concerned about is how they look. Casual days being taken away? Come on. Who cares? If dressing in a suit every single day would bring our jobs back from offshore, raise our pay, and give us a voice in this company? I'd dress like the Oscar Red Carpet. What a petty thing to care about. Oh no! Our casual days! ...how about our jobs and pensions?

I agree. Bankers and bank managers wearing a polo shirt and jeans. Financial Advisors in casual clothes all week. But here’s the thing: it isn’t just Truist.
