How many are actively working to get out? I’ve been looking for a few months now and still haven’t found anything. Is the job market that saturated? I have also been looking outside of the industry and still have had no luck. I know it’s out there... — read more 

I doubt this week, but sometime this month seems likely.

I just spent a wonderful time with family over the holidays, I blocked work out for the whole week. The thought of returning to work tomorrow has my stomach in knots. For the first time in my life, I may do something stupid, go to work, collect my... — read more 

In my family the men work in our trucking business, and the women work in banking. It’s been like this for generations. Last week a position opened up at my oldest sister’s bank. She has the ‘pull’ to get me in. It would require moving (single, no... — read more 

Can anybody say their situation has improved since the merger? I'm genuinely curious. I see so many negative comments here and very few positive ones. Personally, my situation has remained exactly the same. The same old job insecurity and cranky... — read more

Are our jobs safe?

BB&T and SunTrust have been in the dark ages for a long time, yes, the lights have been out for a long time. They weren't ready for a merger of equals, they just needed to hire some sharp people to bring them into the 21st century. Hiring Boston... — read more 

All in all, even though it is only one year old, it’s still a good place to be. Sure you hear about a lot of BS Happiness stuff that nobody believes in and the culture du jour. If you can survive the RiFF’s, the benefits are among the best and... — read more

Over the last few months I've lost all motivation to go above and beyond what is expected. Like many within the company I was a diehard loyal employee who showed dedication and cared about the overall good of the company. But now that things have... — read more 

Are you happy with new pay and job grade?

Layoff ... after layoff ... after layoff. This layoff approach deeply dampens morale, as employees wonder who will be next. To have layoffs (RIF) during the holidays, it's penny wise and pound foolish as the reputational harm to the decision-maker(s)... — read more 

Truist wants us to have a growth mindset where human potential is not fixed. How do they expect to accomplish this when teammates are being RIF’d (yet again) during holidays & they are treating teammate pay like shareholders matter more.

How many here are actually ready to leave this place? I certainly know I am. I’ve reached that point where if VLOs were offered I’d jump on without a second thought. But since that's not likely to happen, all I’m doing is trying to survive until I... — read more 

I was RIFed a few days ago. I don’t quite know how to take it. I’ve been with the company so long that I truly don’t know anything else. I ask myself if I’m too old to start over, or am I financially able to retire. I just don’t know. This came as... — read more 

I have not had my salary adjusted (still waiting) but looking at my company provided life insurance which is 1x salary, my salary is different for 2021 then 2020. Anyone else?

More than a hundred were supposed to be shuttered between this and the next month. Has that started? I know we're not on the list but that might change at any moment. Any chance somebody from an affected branch could share how and when were they... — read more 

You are correct, if you look at SVP positions that were held by women in SunTrust, you will notice that many are no longer with the bank. They made announcements that they retired but were actually RIFd. Atlanta lost a lot of SunTrust Senior... — read more 

Two years ago, right before Christmas, BB&T laid off some very competent employees. This was after hiring McKinsey consultants to formulate a transformation process. The process was a total flop and a huge waste of money. Prior to these layoffs I... — read more 

Expect to be treated unfairly as it relates to this topic. Question everything you are told and realize their goal was and will be to save money.

When a business is failing and in a tailspin, there is more work to be done by the few that are left. Stress levels increase exponentially. This brings out the worst behavior. Depending on your location it will affect the timing of the layoff. Do not... — read more 

I am on the BB&T side. We have many small business customers who come to give in their deposits. Over the years, we’ve built up relationships with them and most often we just have small chats while conducting transactions. A few of them have noticed... — read more 

I think by now we can all say that this whole 'merger' experiment failed when it comes to employees. I used to love my job, now I'm dreading every new workday. I'm not alone, all the people I know miss the old days when we were simply SunTrust. The... — read more 

Budgets have been decided and the last major rounds of layoffs are in the planning before 12/31. This will probably be the last that will offer severance packages. Beware of new positions being offered, it may be your downfall. Good luck.

While this cluster tries to come together and become the sixth largest bank, PNC has already knocked you back down a couple notches🤣🤣...

Are the internal and/or external call centers with Suntrust outsourced? Would really appreciate any information on this.

For Truist to layoff thousands of employees, they don't hesitate to pay big for new blood from old stock. https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2020/11/18/truist-financial-forms-enterprise-payments-group.html

Hey, I'm not one to be on this board but why would BB&T advertise BB&T's BANKING app on Food Network today, 10/16/20. Guess they can't afford a merger app, or at least say who the are. Both BB&T and SunTrust still in the dark ages, you better... — read more
