Looks like a lot of senior/executive leaders are coming for visits and/or scheduling meetings with several teams next week. Would fit the pattern the last few years of delivering awful news shortly after the engagement survey is closed.
Is it Truist-GCC or is it T-GCC ?
I was genuinely happy to see that we are finally building a GCC for a bank—something we have all been looking forward to. However, as we have moved into execution, it increasingly feels like a single-person agenda. It no longer feels like a Truist... — read more
Not feeling valued
Been here a long time and honestly getting pretty fed up. I know I’m one of the stronger people on my team. I’ve consistently done the work, taken on more responsibility, and when I’ve asked what I need to do to get promoted, I actually did those... — read more
CEO
He is no good. He likes smoke and mirrors. He will try to sell bits and pieces to make his numbers and look good. He has no idea what he is doing. PNC - Fiserv both are so happy he is gone.

Mike, please remove the incompetant CTO and CRO
CTO made the IT department so burocratic and it can not solve any real problem nowadays. CRO has no knowlegde of risk, background in operations/delivery, dumped all his Truist shares last year. These two clueless have to be let go.
Mike, please don’t forget about the mortgage fulfillment teammates. Please send help!
We are drowning in horrible management. Please revamp mortgage fulfillment back to the way it was before these vertical lines took place.
When does Lyons start replacing OC members
New year, next month, never? I think they start dropping soon.

Build an agent!!!
Who here believes that they want us to build AI agents so that we can focus on “higher thinking” work and not so that they can cut jobs?
Ability to move internally, how to do it like an executive
Recently several exec's have explained the importance of being well rounded in many aspects of the company. To do so they mentioned how they would make as many lateral moves in order to learn holistically. Do these same leaders support us if we... — read more

The Streetlight Effect
As a teammate with nearly three decades at Truist and a pre-merger heritage organization, I want to name what I believe is the company’s real problem. It is not low deposit growth. It is not the search for a niche. It is not delinquencies... — read more
Employment at Truist as a transactional relationship
I've been here for many years. I do my job well. Not "above and beyond." Not "wearing 17 hats." I mean I do the job I'm actually paid to do. In all my years here, I've seen exactly ONE person on my team get promoted. And, they have a different job... — read more
Sale of RAC - Regional Acceptance
It seems to be official now- no new applications after 9/17
REMINDER: DO NOT TAKE THE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
As stated previously, senior/executive leadership care more about participation rate than actual scores. They believe low scores with a 100% participation is actually an indicator of high engagement since it means workers still believe their voices... — read more
The toxic environment is ki-ling motivation
At first, people still try to make things work even when the environment is bad, but eventually the constant stress starts taking something out of them. They stop bringing ideas and stop putting in extra effort because they've learned it doesn't make... — read more
New hires
Any other new hires struggling to acclimate? Can anyone share thoughts on what it’s like coming in as an external hire?
Leadership Development Program is ending
Can’t say I’m surprised. LDP quality has gone downhill so much that the businesses are taking development into their own hands
Apparently quiet isn't good enough
I'm starting to wonder if doing good work quietly is a disadvantage here. I hit my numbers, meet my deadlines, and don't need someone constantly checking on me, but I still get passed over. Meanwhile, the loudest people in the room somehow get... — read more
What happened in Florida
I used to think Florida was considered a strong growth market for the bank. Seems like it collapsed after putting the short heavy set guy that looks like Alan from The Hangover in charge. Anyone have any insight into that market? Are there constant... — read more
Did executives really take off work to hike flags up a mountain in Truist's name?
Please tell me while we were sitting in this smelly, stuffy office, they were not out hauling purple flags to the top of a mountain. Why go all the way to California where there are no Truist banks? They really could have done all that at Stone... — read more

Harold Ford
Can’t keep a job, fired from morgan stanely, who wants to drag him on meetings? Lyons has bad judgement. Waste of $2 million.
An Open Letter to Mike Lyons: Listen to Your Teammates
Dear Mike, Welcome! Before any process is addressed, the people responsible for carrying out that process must be heard, valued, and respected. That principle should be at the heart of Truist’s culture. Reconsider the Return-to-Office (RTO) mandate... — read more
Mike, please act promptly!
Fire mid level managers; get rid of CTO and CRO; raise front line worker's salary. There is no time to wait. PLEASE ACT! We are waiting for your actions.

By end of this year? Early next year? Or once former CEO is completely gone?

This place judges you by how much you flatter managers
That's it. Performance doesn't matter. The more you are willing to kiss a-s, the further you'll get.
DO. NOT TAKE THE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
DO NOT take the engagement survey starting next week. Most companies (truist included) care more about low participation than low scores. Most companies believe that any response to these surveys indicates that you still believe your voice is heard... — read more
Lyons No Show in Winston-Salem
I left yesterday's town hall feeling hopeful, but that faded when Mike Lyons—confirmed to visit the Winston-Salem Parks Building for meetings and planned floor walks to greet teammates—never made it to my floor, even for the brief interaction we were... — read more
HR just loves their surveys
But they never ask the questions that actually matter. Imagine if they asked the real questions on the next one, the ones that could make a difference. I'm not holding my breath, though.
