Last time I checked, nobody gets million+ dollar salary raise for poor performance. Wait I’m wrong. Think…how many families affected by layoff could have been saved? How many families now struggling for need of health insurance? Pause and think... — read more
Poor wittle Wayne has less than 50% approval on Glassdoor

Two Week Notice
Question for those who have recently resigned. Was your two week notice honored? Going to a local competitor if that makes a difference.
They don't need a good reason
There are those who still have faith in this company and think they are safe because they have always been among the best performers. That's not necessarily a bad thing, one should always hope for the best, but at the same time, one must always be... — read more
Finally switched my insurance. USAA is no longer getting a dime from me and never will as long as Wayne is in charge.
I've been shopping around for insurance for a while and was struggling to find a company that could beat USAA's rates for equivalent coverage. If you're in the same boat, I'd recommend calling a local agent. They can walk you through what you... — read more
C U L T U R E
You don’t need any more money. You are already being paid at 50% of market rate. OMG I’m so glad they didn’t aim for 25% market rate for your title!!! Repeat after me: I am happy to take 50% of what I’m worth I don’t need money. I can make... — read more
Which CoSA has been the best area to work in at the company?
Enterprise is a nightmare. Thinking of internally switching, but the other cosas also seem off. I just can’t take the workload and politics in Enterprise anymore; they promote the least, and I’ve seen coworkers with the same amount of experience and... — read more

Let’s let Wayne know what an outstanding job he is doing (destroying USAA). Add a comment and we’ll include it in the USAA employee Labor Day greeting card we’re sending to Wayne this year.
RTO rumors
My team had a skip level meeting with our EMG this week to discuss morale and how to improve it. Well, it didn’t improve morale, she told us the chatter she’s been hearing, along with the 4 days RTO starting January for non member contact employees... — read more
Is it just excessive anxiety
Or do you really think that the management is doing everything possible to get rid of certain employees? I want to believe that these stories are exaggerated, but there a quite a few people who have told me that they are exposed to enormous... — read more

Next Round of Layoffs
Does anyone know about the total number of layoffs that occurred last week? Seems like the next one would be at the end of September, since we’ve had them in March, May and July now.
For those of you in Regional Offices, what is keeping you here?
Regional employee and contemplating leaving, but definitely scared to with the market. I'm 100% sure that my region has jobs since there's a lot of tech opportunity, but still nervous. So I'd like to know your why and if you did switch companies... — read more
Forced RTO
Is it just me or does this all feel stupid? Sitting in dangerous traffic, wasting gas, looking for parking, to log into zoom while in crowded super loud office spaces constantly being distracted by nonsense. Meanwhile those allowed to work remote... — read more
Is it worth it?
I really don't want to work 50+ hours a week because I don't want to risk my health. Is there anyone here who has worked long hours and thinks that it was worth it? I doubt it.
Tamla on Slack
New BS slack post from Tamla yesterday. That means one, based on the timing of her previous posts, something is coming/happening and she is trying to distract us with some “good news”. We’re not stupid, even though she thinks we are. We can small... — read more
Does speaking out lead to a higher chance of layoff?
In the last layoffs, noticed that people who were openly critiquing RTO and other decisions were laid off.
Reasons of being fired
A coworker got fired. We were told via email then a short meeting, and nothing was disclosed. He was pretty good at his job and we liked him. It’s very surprising that he was fired. Anyone knows what could be the reasons of someone being fired at... — read more
The layoff here worked out for the best
I think I would have left USAA by now anyway if I hadn't been laid off in the meantime because I couldn't bear that kind of stress anymore. I don't believe that there are many who are not better off since leaving here... Support to everyone who... — read more
How long has it been taking you to get a new role in this market?
Want to leave, but it’s been much more difficult to do so - the interviews are more in depth for IT and I’m very behind technology-wise, which is why I’ve been at usaa for 5+ years.
Anyone here counting down to September 5th?
You know it's going to be such a glorious day of rapture!!! The execs will greet us all with raging woodies, salivating over the upcoming jumps in productivity. They will be so so happy that they will want to see us an extra day in 2024. Ok, dream... — read more

Being smart at this place is a liability
Sounds like you are too smart for USAA. 10 years ago, maybe even 5 years ago, you would have progressed quickly, and your skills would have been utilized to enhance and improve the work and member experience. But now, in the new USAA, you considered... — read more

Who would volunteer to be laid off?
I wouldn't be surprised if there were more of those who would rather volunteer to be laid off than those who would like to keep their jobs here. However, I do not believe that we will have this as an option because the company would be left... — read more
Is it worth working at USAA in Plano?
Almost at the year-mark in the Plano office and employees are resigning with RTO. I kept hearing when Executives came earlier in the week that they want to make USAA an IT hub in Plano. However, the salary is legitimately 20-40% lower than other... — read more
Use USAA while you still can
Before our reputation catches up to us, USAA is still an asset on your resume. This is the best time to start sending out applications and take advantage of that while you can. You don’t want to get to a point where USAA is as toxic on your resume as... — read more
Do they want to get remote workers out?
Had a talk with manager and told that there's no opportunity for advancement. I also got a lower rating than I normally would. I'm working 50+ hour weeks and have been here for 10+ years, but that doesn't matter since I'm remote. It's insulting and... — read more

USAA Layoff July 2023

Bonus decrease.
Sooooo, I was setting up some things in my profile and found that it was showing a 10% bonus for positions now and not 15%. So i checked it against random positions and found they all said 10%.
Leaders Hiring their own folks - Remote allowed?
Well, aint that special. How is that J. Cherry can hire someone from Regions and make them her direct report as a "project manager" and in a remote position? this is so unethical
Big disappointment
Every time I hear rumors about layoffs, I am disappointed primarily because I know that all the effort I invested here is not really important if they decide to get rid of me. How does a person fell who's worked hard while knowing that he shares... — read more
