Concerns to say the least
Still incorrectly reports how he died, but everything else is on point! https://wepublishnews.com/news/usaa-employees-tragic-death-on-campus-sparks-concerns-over-workplace-mental-health
Can everyone smell the RTO tacos they’re about to feed us Tuesday (9/5)?
While they (Wayne and his EC) assume everyone’s happy to be back to their respective cubicle…

If we thought morale was low a few weeks ago
It has hit levels we didnt even know possible. How anyone here can even focus on the mo--nic tasks management has us doing is beyond me.
USAA is the worst
We're pushed to our limits and we're working ourselves to exhaustion day in, day out, and for what? So that we can have the luxury of worrying about our jobs every day? So that we can expect not to get a raise no matter how hard we work? This is the... — read more
The worst days of USAA
I have been with USAA now for 21 years, this is the worst thing to happen in our history. Wayne, in my 21 years having see many CEOs come and go has been the worst leader to. Not employee centric at all. Bonus structure under his leadership is... — read more
Hurricane Response with a totally demoralized workforce?
Looks like Wednesday's hurricane is headed straight for another large cluster of USAA insureds. The last hurricane and the blow-up in the RE market was blamed for the first-ever loss then the rando layoffs. So, yet another cycle of mad-as-he-l... — read more
Too Many Chiefs In EMG and EC
Not enough Indians
Simple RTO Solution
Tie the yearly bonus to time spent in the office. Easy and simple. If you are local to a primary office and don't want to commute, that is ok but you aren't eligible for the yearly bonus. This would make it fair as well with the number of permanent... — read more
Peace vs. Impact
Did they want peace...or for their decision to matter and have an impact. No one makes that decision, in that way, without wanting attention to it. A lone call for help, if perhaps to save others, from a fastly sinking ship. Say his name. Invoke... — read more
Hiding the Incident
HR is joining calls to tell people not to do internet searches so it doesn’t draw attention. Really? They should be addressing the problem that caused it and not hide it.
A once beautiful culture
General Robles used to ensure the employees were well cared for, which ultimately ensured the members were well cared for. Missing the days of Gen. Robles and Gen. Lyles.
Conflict of Interest disclosure, is it illegally forced?
I received an email yesterday to sign COI form, email is very unclear and confusing in that it says something like you have something like 30 days once its required etc. Its not available in onesource and you have to create a request yourself to add... — read more

Toxicity Hindsight
Saturday’s su----e just further illustrates how such a toxic daily environment affects people who are at the end of their rope. For that employee to feel like there was no hope outside of USAA, just drives home what a mentally crazy environment USAA... — read more
We're losing too many people and nobody seems to care
We have to take on added responsibilities and duties constantly because so many were either laid off or decided to walk away to get out of this mess (I envy them, I've been trying to do the same thing for nearly a year). This is not sustainable, but... — read more

Bank Risk Leaders Wasting $$$$
Why do we have bank risk leaders flying to Phoenix for a week in September? Why are the spending an entire day at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Why are we wasting members money? Why are we saying one thing and doing another? Which is it? Why all... — read more
Fired while employee match pending

Thinking it’s in poor taste to promote a new life insurance product in the wake of the tragedy that happened this weekend. Yes life insurance is a wonderful product and a hard conversation, but timing couldn’t be worse.
This is getting ridiculous
How are we supposed to maintain a positive work environment with layoffs being omnipresent? How are we supposed to focus on our work and remain productive when we have to worry about having a job every minute of every waking day? This leadership... — read more
Working here is a liability to your careers
In reputation alone
CEO bonus to the family who died
And every single leader above the person who died. Volunteer your bonus to their family.
Wayne, Board: Things ARE NOT OKAY.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but we need to hault all charity, outreach, etc. for the rest of the year. We have some internal house keeping and introspection to do. “Face the Fight”?? Employees have “Face the CEO” Things are not okay.
USAA Employees Have Been Pampered
It's go on for too long. Glad to see some belt-tightening going on at this company. Mayne there is chance that Wayne can save this company from it's employees.
Lots of threads here pointing to garbage sites, we need actual verifiable facts
Some of those "news" sites posted in other threads appear to be questionable fly by night places that might hand you a virus if you aren't careful. It really depends on who discovered the victim and where it happened. If it happened in a parking... — read more

GREAT JOB wayne peacock…another first under your watch as “LEADER” in 100+ years
This once great organization needs an overhaul starting from the TOP. It’s time for you and your OVERLY PAID execs to GO!
How bad has it gotten to where someone decided to make a fatal choice?

Face the Fight (TM)
When they rolled out Face The Fight *TM !!! (pu-e) I couldn't help but think, "charity begins at home, fools" given all I've heard about bathroom breaks, unrealistic metrics, etc. But I stayed silent since I'm not member facing so I selfishly didn't... — read more
Tragic incident
Wow, has it gotten this bad where an employee took their own life on campus? Just, wow.
Su----e on campus?
Rumor is someone ki-led themselves on the home office campus. Please tell me this isn’t true. Has the situation there really gotten that bad? Praying for everyone.
Wayne Peacock Employee incident
Anyone know what Wayne is referring to or have any details? He just sent an email of a tragic incident?

I've changed my perspective
I'm done with USAA. I'll be gone as soon as I find something new, not a day later. I don't even plan to give a two weeks notice. But I'm no longer focusing primarily on pay in my search. I'm now looking for good work/balance, WFH options, and good... — read more
A follower
Wayne had this golden opportunity to set USAA apart. When COVID-19 took the world by storm in March 2020, within 2-3 weeks, he managed to get 95% of the workforce set up for WFH, one of the first companies to get that done, as others soon followed... — read more
