Pension
Hearing rumblings that the pension plan will be eliminated mid-January, likely announced at earnings time to attempt to bury the news. This was originallly scheduled for August but had to be delayed. Be prepared.

Exit Strategy
For those that are sick and tired of Truist, now is the time to start thinking of your “Exit Strategy”…… Tough it out until March when AIP/LTI is paid. Start interviewing in January/February. As soon as AIP/LTI is paid, put in 2 weeks notice and... — read more
I wouldn’t buy Truist

Why are non-CIB teammates and those that are not securities teammates having to attest to CIB teammate compliance? Especially when they don’t have access to any of the CIB files, SP sites, or shared drives?
Dumpster Bank
I hope no other bank buys this POS. Its a garbage buy.
When will we hire more people?
It feels like every time someone leaves, we just get stuck doing their work along with our own. The management isn’t hiring anyone to fill those gaps, so we end up having to take on more tasks for the same pay. We’re already swamped as it is. What’s... — read more
