Where do you see Truist in 5 years?
Lots of talk on this forum about maybe the bank being sold off again once the merger is done or the quality just continuing to deteriorate as more people leave. Does anyone actually expect to still be employed with Truist 5 years from now? He-l... — read more
SunTrust is in change of Enterprise Tech and it is horrible! What other areas are they in charge of?
CIO Scott Case is a former BOFA employee. Now he is in charge at Truist, UGH! I heard that the SunTrust work environment deteriorated when he was hired. This is the worst work environment you can imagine. I know folks at BOFA, and it is the same... — read more
No, you are not safe
No offense, but c’mon...how in the world can you work at Truist and think that your job is EVER going to be safe?? Have the Executives been transparent with you about ANYTHING yet?? We know about the big Executive compensation increases, but how much... — read more
I find all of this funny
People are outraged that a huge bank doesn't care about them as employees. Where have you been working so far? No bank, or any corporation for that matter, gives a damn about you and your wellbeing. All they care about is how to use you as much as... — read more
Did I make the wrong decision?
I was hired less than a year ago and at first I thought this was a company that I could find longevity in. I should have known better after the first few weeks. Training (for lack of a better word) was nonexistent for me and it was basically sink or... — read more
Downvotes. Is Executive Management Scared?
Others have noticed as have I that there is a sudden increase in downvotes on posts here lately. Can’t imagine these are coming from blissfully happy teammates who have life sized posters of Kelly and Bill in their bedrooms. Especially with the... — read more

Outplacement
Who is the bank using for outplacement services?
New hire feelings
I'm curious as to people that were recently hired if they regret their decision yet or blindly believe this was a great career move.
Fingers crossed…
I have been looking to leave and have received quite a few rejection emails from job applications I’ve put in over the last few months. However, I actually received emails this week letting me know I was being considered for remote jobs that I have... — read more
Exit Strategy

The inaugural Truist Teammate Engagement Survey is available. Do it. Be honest and candid.
I have an another offer but can't decide if I should take it
I was just given an offer by another company but I'm on the fence if I will take it. The salary would be decently higher than my current one but the bonus target is less so it's almost a wash. They have only a 4% 401k match and that doesn't kick... — read more
Kelly and Bills compensation for 2020 and all we get is a pack of seeds, hopeless seeds.
King raked in $14.82 million in total compensation for 2020. That includes a base salary at $1.2 million, $5.75 million in stock awards and $5.5 million in non-equity incentives. King's compensation last year increased 29% compared to the prior year... — read more
Should I still worry?
Do all the branches that are slated for closing already know that? What are the chances they're going to spring it on us at this point? I'm thinking they notified people well in advance but I can't help but worry. I can't wait for them to announce... — read more

The key from the Q1 earnings report
Adjusted efficiency ratio was 56.9%, up from 55.9% in fourth-quarter 2020. A rise in efficiency ratio indicates deterioration in profitability. This can only mean more consultants coming in to figure out more people to get rid of. It’s never... — read more
It's time to leave
It's time to leave, even SVPs are planning their exodus before year-end. They took away a lot of your incentives and dumped more work on you. Frankly, I'm sick of all of them and I plan on leaving soon, life too short to put up with this hot... — read more
Leaving this here
Employers are ideally looking for an employee who has the wisdom of a 50 year old, the experience of a 40 year old, the drive of a 30 year old, and wants to work for the pay of a 20 year old. And if you're out of any of these categories, pack your... — read more
No room for growth
I've been stuck as a personal banker for a while now and I know I have no chance of moving up. I'm not best friends with anybody in management nor am I related to any of them, so I'm stuck most likely forever. Anything else would require I develop... — read more
How do you get a RIF or layoff as an individual contributer

How happy do you think our old (and new) customers are?
I was part of BB&T so this is mostly the question for people who came from that side of the merger. Do you think our customers are still happy or some (most) of them are looking to bail? Enough things have changed in the past year or so that I'm... — read more

Layoffs are coming?
Is this true?
Everyone is replaceable?
I really hate that attitude. No, they are not all interchangeable, that's just wrong. This company now has a problem with the lack of talented people. They probably think that talented and good employees are expensive, so they prefer to opt for... — read more

Can we hire somebody with experience?
First let me say that I hate the fact new people are being hired instead of offering available jobs to those who were let go in the past year in the first place. What's even worse is that people we do end up hiring have zero experience. They either... — read more
