I have filed for arbitration of my final notice, which was for substandard performance and misconduct. It cost $225 and you need the consumer filing form on the AAA website (American Arbitration Association) and a copy of the arbitration agreement... — read more
For my own sanity, I have to unplug from this site… for now.
I’ve been frequenting this site for months — reading, contemplating, and posting. Many of you have probably read some of my posts, including my Open Letter to the Board of Directors. The last couple months have been really tough for me from a... — read more

Roll Out of PIPs
A friend of mine at work in the bank said they were put on a PIP for not meeting Average Handle Time (AHT) on their calls. This friend has been with the company more than 10 years and has an impeccable service record and has consistently been above... — read more
Why RTO mandates are layoffs in disguise, according to workplace experts: ‘Companies are daring employees to quit’
While a whopping 90% of companies plan to implement return-to-office policies by the end of 2024, flexibility remains a top priority for employees — and the lack of it might push them to seek other opportunities... — read more
Remote IT Workers Will By Gone By 2025

"Career Progression" For Remote Employees
Does anyone actually believe that opportunities will be afforded to remote employees? All leadership has done is correct a verbal misstep by Wayne. The direction to frontline managers is to hire people that can support hybrid. To think anything else... — read more
USAA doesn't need to lay anyone off
They are firing people in droves and hiding behind "right to work". I don't think I have heard of more people getting fired here than I have this year. Its very clear what they are doing. Only a matter of time before a class action happens.
23 Veteran Forced out of USAA....
I was deeply saddened to hear Wes’s story from Wayne’s World. At the heart of USAA's core values lies an unwavering commitment to service members and veterans in service, loyalty, honesty, and integrity. It is especially heartbreaking to hear about... — read more
One new tool coming down the HR pipeline is the PIP or severance out option that should be a real morale booster for the organization.
Please discuss! I need a break from all the 9-11 virtue signaling on slack.
This place is going down hill.
I was a manager that just recently got let go for something I couldn’t control.. A lot of adjustments are going to happen within the month all the way through the start of 2024. There are talks for when you get into up skill trainings your pay won’t... — read more
USAA does not care about mental health of their emplopyees or memebers
Its clear they could careless about their employees well being and mental health. Not only did the su----e on campus occur but a friend of mine that worked at USAA for many years went through a depression at the begginning of the year. Instead of the... — read more
Individual layoffs
I understand they do layoffs in batches. Do they ever individually tell people to fudge off under the auspices of being at at will employer? Or do they prefer to create a paper trail in one source to fire people for "cause"?
When did things first start to Change?
I was hired in Sept 2019, and Stuart was the CEO. I was at the December employee meeting that year, and he talked about his excitement for leading the company into the 2020’s, then a week later, he is retiring to spend more time with his family. What... — read more
What Day of the Week do Layoffs Occur?
What is the typical day of a week that individuals/teams get laid off? Friday? Monday? Any day is fair game?
This is for those struggling
The recent tragedy outlines the importance of mental health. We will never truly know the reasons behind the tragedy. Assuming someone else is contemplating something similar AND the reasons involved their work life: It is not always as simple as... — read more
Happy news!
Looks like USAA is on track to double their net losses from last year. You think it’s bad now… just wait… this place is so toxic, i don't even want to touch base with what happened a couple weeks ago.. It’s going to get way worse everyone. Thank god... — read more
Remote EMG Need To Be Shown The Door
Now that we have started to implement RTO, it hasn't taken long to be in a Zoom meeting where there is a member of the EMG that is working remote. These folks need to be shown the door immediately. To think that there are members of the EMG with... — read more
Members Are Bailing
More calls transferred to MRT so far this week than any time in my many years at USAA. These ncreased rates to support Wayne's massive salary is going to have a revenue-lowering effect; not the massive cashflow Mr. Weacock was likely expecting. — read more
This blows...
I get RTO from a business perspective and not having an empty building. The pictures and donuts don't do much to make me feel better about being in the office. It seems as though there are people who truly enjoy being in the office. If that's the... — read more
Time unload some toxic loans!
https://asreport.americanbanker.com/news/usaa-plans-to-float-1-billion-in-auto-abs Lol “prime” asset-backed securities. Reminds me of those “prime” mortgage-backed securities from over a decade ago. Really getting desperate now, I guess, aren’t we? — read more
I'm burnt out
I'm burnt out mentally, emotionally, and physically. I can barely get myself to do anything, and I know I won't be able to function at all in this environment for much longer. This is an utterly unhealthy work environment and I admire people who can... — read more
What a productive day 1. Talk to my peeps for 5 hours, lunch, sent 3 emails then home
Almost forgot, get caught up on social media LOL!
Remote and Posting
Is it true about what came out of Wayne’s leadership call today? I hear remote people are now allowed to apply for roles and remain remote. He has always said we could post but HR would not interview. Has this finally been lifted? Are they... — read more
For those who have been laid off or accepted a new job offer.
I was impacted by the recent layoffs. I am hoping to find a good company with a splendid work atmosphere and benefits. Any leads on companies to apply to in San Antonio?
First day RTO
Super long lines at the gates and im met with “get a patking pass, they’re giving tickets today”! Are you serious? A ticket on first day back? Can USAA try any harder to make their employees as miserable as fkn possible?
Are you really more productive from home?
I think many people have convinced themselves that they are more productive from home when that's simply not true. I know by my example. I take many more breaks at home. They are short - wife needs this, kids want me to do that - but they are... — read more
Culture!
RTO is for “culture” yet they eliminate the roles responsible for culture! These guys should be politicians! Employees have more of the power! Dont buy your lunch at the office, abuse this watercooler talk they advocate for! Live and work everyday... — read more
Don't do them any favors by leaving over RTO
To all those saying that they are considering leaving USAA over this... that's the entire point. It's not about the culture, it's not about the members, it's about forcing attrition, micromanagement, and justifying the expense of keeping up with the... — read more
Lies and Hypocrisy
How many read the article on Connect the other day about mental health, and how much the company cares about us? Too little and too late.
What would you do as CEO?
By now it's no surprise that Wayne's USAA is a sh-t-show. Employee morale has never been lower, thousands have been laid off, the company is on its way to two losses back to back after being profitable for a century, and members are becoming... — read more
CEO and USAA employee for >30 years, you would think that he’s equipped enough
to know better, understand what good and bad looks like from leaders from his past experience. It’s like bringing a CLOWN into the White House, it [White House] just turns into a CIRCUS.
Usaa cites “health” as being a reason for the large exodus ……
They omitted a crucial term: "mental." Six of my fellow teammates departed, and each attributed their departure to "mental health" among their reasons for leaving. USAA, it's time to step it up. I commend those who made the choice to depart... — read more
Tuesday 09/05 prediction - first day of RTO will be a hot mess

We hire the best of the best
Apparently in one of the other campuses a trainee snapped and sent a distasteful email to the whole class saying mean things about them all then quit. While also hiring someone with known identity fraud charges. Hmm
Holy moly! Over 10 BILLION in comprehensive losses in 2022!
Holy bejezzus if true. https://www.reddit.com/r/USAA/comments/166ptur/2022_financial_statements_where_are_the_details/ If this is true and what accountant said what is valid, Usaa is sitting on a lot of unrealized losses. With rates going up... — read more
Vote Out the Board of Directors in August 2024, We Should Have Already
The best chance to affect change would be to rally members to replace the worst folks on the Board with people who will hold our executives accountable and have a proven track record to turn the company around. Unless that happened, and it doesn't... — read more
