It’s about that time. Any Intel?
“We need to find these unhappy people through Pulse surveys and force them out”
I joined USAA a year ago and it’s been a mess. My team is almost at 100% turnover in 10 months because my manager found reasons to put people on PIP’s or bully them out. Then he’ll say the reason we don’t get work done is we’re understaffed and that... — read more
Congratulations on your retirement?
Did anyone who was part of the 11/22 layoff receive a “congratulations on your retirement” letter in the mail. I did not retire so curious to know why I would receive this letter….with the option to choose a retirement gift. TIA
A minefield of its own making
I dedicate this article to the horrible leadership teams at USAA, who think they can outsmart regulators with their id--tic risk management... — read more
I'm finally ready for a fresh start
After a lot of thought, it’s clear this is the right move. The offer I got finally feels worth it. My current job now offers low pay, no growth, and way too much micromanaging. It’s hard to stay motivated when leadership seems more critical than... — read more
Just had an interview at Citi and the interviewer said "USAA employees don't know anything about risk management"
Pretty rich coming from a place like that but thats the reputation we have. smh
Short term mistakes add to long term failure
I’d like to take usaa for laying me off and telling me I can apply for banking positions within the company. What they leave out is that you must be in a specific city (usually San Antonio or Phoenix) and if you happen to not live there or want to... — read more
New CEO?
What’s the latest scuttlebutt on the CEO search?
Latest round of layoff bullsh-t
I’d like to thank my leader for laying me off just before the holidays. I’d also like to thank him for having postings for my own team that I was cut from and for rejecting my application because I “wasn’t what he was looking for anymore.” Thank... — read more
Don't stay at USAA more than 5-7 years.
The Company has set its own internal policies to manage its workforce in a way that lets them upgrade their employees after that period of time when they consider you to have outlived your maximum potential to them--usually 5 to 7 years. They don't... — read more

RTO Playbook Reminder
With Mr. Peacuck out the door, I think it's time for a fun refresher on how to continue to sabotage, undermine, and conduct guerrilla warfare against RTO for those of us lowly peasants who live within 60 miles of the office. Most of you are already... — read more
2025 layoffs
Does anyone have confirmation that there are going to be layoffs in Q1? Not just speculation.
Unpopular opinion incoming
We can and should complain about the terrible leadership that takes over across the organization but I say it’s the terrible FTE they also inherit - people stuck in their ways , lack of skillset and energy to make a change , no real compliance and... — read more

Does anybody know how many employees (final count) were let go in September? TIA
Burnout is a serious issue
And it’s not just about the workload. Everyone’s worn out from all the drama happening at USAA, including the never-ending layoffs. And does management even care? Not at all! They're overjoyed when they see any of us give up and leave without them... — read more
Layoffs definitely hinted at
It would seem that rumors about layoffs haven’t been unfounded. If anyone finds out more, please share.

If you're leaving USAA, make sure to use your PTO
First time posting here. I left USAA about a month ago. I provided more than 2 weeks notice because I needed to wrap up some projects before my last day. How does USAA repay me? By not paying me my leftover PTO. They referred me to their PTO... — read more
High performers don't stick around USAA anymore
They are leaving in droves. Why stick around when you know that being a high performer and good at what you do will not shield you from layoffs?
Question re: severance package
I have not been laid off yet, but with the amount of org changes and upper mgmt leaving in my area, I can see the writing on the wall. Can someone who has recently been impacted by a layoff let me know what the bank severance package looks like? Is... — read more
USAA illegally denied my short term disability claim, looking for others to possibly join together on legal action
After a year of fighting for pay that Wayne made in less than 3 hours of his time, USAA (and Lincoln Financial) have officially denied my claim. I will be seeking legal action against them and am interested in knowing if there is anyone else USAA... — read more
Probably not true ... But we can hope.
Rumor has it that Wayne and some cronies are about to be investigated by a grand jury for fraud of some kind. But probably just wishful thinking.
Financial Crimes Org
Any thoughts on the financial crimes/fraud org and how it's being built? Isn't there new leadership?

How many jobs were lost?
A total mess
I joined a year ago and I can tell you that this place was a mess from day one. It was clear from the start that the management was unprofessional and clueless, with bad decision-making and no sense of responsibility. They don't seem to care about... — read more
Why are you so obsessed with layoff?
The banking job market is still strong. I started looking for external opportunities three months ago and already got four offers. Going to decline one and still evaluating the other three.

Severance package offered on separation date. That's 60 days?!?!
The guidance documentation is clear about finding another job and that severance package is on separation date. I'm too anxious to wait on a response from HR. What if one were to find an EXTERNAL job before the 60 days? Does that mean no severance... — read more
From an article: USAA Bank again lays off employees with goal of ‘getting back to profitability’
Once again, we're trying to cut our way to profitability. It's been tried before. It failed. More than once. Who's going to let the top brass know that doing the same thing the same way over and over again and expecting different results is the... — read more
This proved my point
I kept telling people around me that nobody was safe and few listened. Some of you really think you're indispensable for some reason even when the company has proven again and again that the only thing that matters is money. If you make too much, no... — read more
Do we know the total number of affected people?
I am seeing people mentioning around 600.
Lame Duck Wayne
Lame Duck CEO Wayne strikes again! He is trying his best to weasel in a bunch of self serving trash before he is thrown out the door. He is trying his hardest to ruin USAA for the next CEO. I also heard from a recruiter friend that he is secretly... — read more
