Truist's culture has officially become the worst. They are the laughing stock of the banking industry. Bad teammates will get promoted because they fit the new culture, and leadership will get worse with the corporate gaslighting. There's no hoping... — read more
The job hunt continues
Joining everyone else sending resumes into the void. Really hoping something breaks in the next month or so. This place has a terrible name now and for good reason. The way they handle people, the way they make you feel like nothing, it's disgusting... — read more
Micromanagement vs Autonomy — The Difference in Results Is Obvious
One thing I genuinely appreciate about my team at Truist is the leadership style in our organization. Our leaders trust us to do our jobs. There’s no constant hovering or minute-by-minute monitoring. We’re given autonomy, clear expectations, and... — read more
Bi-weekly meetings
Our manager has recently initiated bi-weekly meetings with all employees. The team already has regular meetings, and it is an open team where the manager is universally liked. I have noticed the team seems to be getting punished for not being able... — read more
Why do so many teammates seem unhappy at Truist?
I’m curious to hear from people who read or post in this forum, what are your reasons for not liking Truist as a place to work? I’d appreciate specific examples if you’re willing to share. Personally, I’ve been with the company for several years... — read more
Disclosure of Non-Compete Agreements
Does Truist have blanket non-compete agreements with other companies that impact teammates job mobility? Is this info posted anywhere internally?
Confidentiality in Applying for a New Internal Role
Looking to switch to a different area within Truist. How confidential is the process? I received a decent performance review, but want to pursue an area more aligned with my degree. If I apply for another role internally, is my Manager given notice... — read more
Are your job duties being reduced?
My manager took away some of my duties and reassigned them to himself. Is this a sign that middle management knows their time is up? I think they are padding their duties so they can appear to have work to do and avoid layoffs, but it's time to pay... — read more
I've been at Truist four years and I think I've finally hit my limit
The problem is the limit doesn't matter because the mortgage doesn't care. The kids' school supplies don't care. The car payment doesn't care. I have to make a specific number each month or things fall apart. So I keep coming back even though I hate... — read more
Employee Appreciation Email
How about this employee appreciation email?!? She is thankful for her job now go appreciate each other.
Why isn’t everyone in the office?
What happened to ‘we’re better together’? Where are all the working from home crowd? Why are they still at home? There is plenty of space (especially in my building) to bring folks in. Seems like this was just a bunch of lies. For those of us that... — read more
What percentage raise is the normal amount?
2.25 % here. It su-ks but I’m wondering if that’s the amount most people get.
Yay a bonus
No, not at Truist of course. After two consecutive years of $0 bonus at Truist I'm happy to report that the bank I am now with is giving me a 5-figure bonus + 4% raise (and I've only been here 6-months). Would have never happened at TFC! Cheers to... — read more

Really this bad?
I’m honestly having some regret about taking this job, especially after finding this forum. I wish I had come across these comments before accepting the offer, but here I am. Is it really as bad as people describe? I started in January and my role... — read more
More with less again
I'm so tired of this cr-p. They keep layering on expectations while continuing to shrink support. At some point, the math just stops working. I'm done even trying. I might get fired, but I'm not a magician. It is what it is.
Bill and his BOD continue
to sc--w stockholders. 13 % price drop in 5 days. You defenders will say market economics are to blame, nonsense! If they had built the franchise and gotten the stock to a level it should be this would be a blip, it is not. Remember PNC as a regional... — read more
Purpose to Poor Performance Awards!
Every single winner of this award has derailed their team project in one way or another. They don't have knowledge or skills and don't know what they are doing. I've never met one that's inteIIigent. They just know how to fake their way through the... — read more
Annual review
Is it against the law to be given your annual review via video to me and I had to sit in the middle of a room with other workers around me who heard the entire thing? I was not given the opportunity for any privacy at all. Everyone heard the entire... — read more
RTO
Has the RTO threshold changed? I am outside of the 35 mile distance to RTO but learned today I am on the 2nd wave of teammates to RTO. I am 38 miles from a designated Truist office.
Is RCSA at truist a death sentence?
Seen job posting for it, debating applying. But is there any future in that role, or are you just going to get sacked once it’s over?
Performance Evaluations for 2025
How did your performance evaluation go?
Integrity/Risk Awareness
Retail branch managers in my city are telling us to call clients on the federal do not call list and if a sale happens on the call, we are to log that we didn’t “lead” with the sale. I helped out at one branch recently and there bankers are being... — read more
Non Qual Def Comp
I like how the bank sits on our money earning interest for a week prior to paying it out. Should be criminal.
What are the 2nd, 3rd, 4th skip level managers doing all day?
Are they only on meeting surveillance and maybe PowerPoint deck duty? I've never seen them do anything more than be surveillance on Teams meetings, and fly into other offices to be surveillance in person. Why do we need so many levels of... — read more
AI will replace all regional presidents and middle management this year!
Life will be so much better without all the belittling!!!
Leaving
I care about the work I do at Truist and genuinely value my team. That said, after several years in the same position without a clear path to the next step in my career, I’ve started to feel stalled. There hasn’t been an opportunity to grow into a... — read more
Does truist make branch bankers work out their 2 weeks when going to a competitor?
I'm a relationship banker at a truist branch. I got a licensed banker role with chase and will be giving notice next week. Does truist typically make bankers work out their last 2 weeks?
Stuck and miserable
I feel like I'm wasting away here. No growth, no recognition, no point. Just dragging myself through each day. I'd leave in a second if I had anywhere to go. Truist is making me hate everything.
How many times have you been laid off?
Somebody told me they were laid off four times throughout their entire career, and I can't wrap my head around it. How do you survive something like that? I'm worried about how I'd take being laid off once, but to have it happen to me more times? No... — read more
Layoffs in Wealth
What’s going on in Wealth? Just heard today that some layoffs happened quietly in late 2025, but more are coming.. Specifically to Trust, not TIS and this will directly impact central/eastern NC.
David Smith
Any idea where he is going??
Any idea when the enhanced IOE reporting goes live?
In a January post (https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kezt9p2t), a couple of folks mentioned enhanced IOE reporting that is coming. “Enhanced” means cross-referencing badge swipes with the laptop connection to the Truist wifi. One of my colleagues who is... — read more
Bill’s message about AI
We “must” all lean into AI and it’s now a “core leadership competency.” Honestly I’m more upset about AI being forced down our throats than about RTO. Anyone else?
Looking forward to the Superbowl small talk in the office tomorrow? Check in!
I look forward to being forced to discuss the Superbowl over 1,000 times tomorrow on EVERY call and in every breakroom. It will be a great way to bond teammates. Especially the halftime discussion (which was great, btw!) Now, time to get some... — read more
RTO causing mental breakdown
Without any remote the travelling back and forth is just plain exhausting and mentally draining and with the uncertainty of the company on whether layoffs are gonna happen especially with the amounts of things changing it's just suffocating. Really... — read more
AIP in March
Others hearing AIP is disappointing for 2025? What is percent rewarded for corporate?
Audit Senior Managers and above offsite
Who is enjoying TAS Senior Managers and above being preoccupied? Best days of the year!
Layoff today?
Heard some rumors layoffs happened today. Any validity to that? TAS and mortgage were mentioned.
