This place is an absolute mess. New credit cards were sent out to activate 9-18. Now the migration has gone wrong and there is no way to verify a new credit card. Every day the response is it will work tomorrow. 3 days of promises and no results... — read more

I hate how leadership always gets away with cr-p like this. Are they ever going to take responsibility for their own mistakes and their poor planning, instead of depending on cuts as an easy way out? Is there any way for us to hold them accountable?... — read more 

My top goal for the rest of the year is to find a way out of Truist. If I'm not laid off, I'll leave on my own. I'm not staying here a day more than I have to.

How many applications do you send out per week? I have a feeling that I'm not doing enough since I haven't gotten that many responses so far.

I'm afraid they will make drastic cuts and discontinue our pension plan. Thoughts?

The internal rumor is insurance will be sold completely in 3-4 months to shore up capital position. Has anyone else heard this. This EXEC team does not communicate

The news of layoffs hit me like a ton of bricks. Am I done? Are those who were most recently hired the first to be laid off?

Now I decided to wait it out and see if I get laid off. I'm going to laugh so hard if they pay me to do something I was about to do anyhow.

What do we know?

Has anyone else noticed how quickly the annual engagement survey has gone by the wayside? BB&T always made a big deal of reviewing the results and identifying areas for improvement. Post MOE, SunTrust leadership doesn’t seem to value those... — read more

Those being told to return to the office were forced into old buildings that haven't been occupied or maintained in years. Most of the staff is sitting on the floor or making desks out of old boxes. They don't even have phone service in the... — read more

EFM layoffs start this week in detection

Employees who might need some additional protections during these widespread layoffs might consider unionizing. It is illegal for the company to take ANY adverse action against employees who are advocating for collective bargaining. Not a guarantee... — read more
