Heard aml is next in chopping block…who is going first??

The toxic atmosphere that many here mention is a reality. Backstabbing has become part of everyday life and of course some of us here have become more anxious and tense than ever before… I don't have any special advice on how to deal with so much... — read more 

There are plenty of employees who would willingly leave if provided with severance. All of them would not mind leaving one bit and would be happy that they are providing somebody else with an opportunity to stay at work. So why don't they offer... — read more 

There are lots of prior service folks at USAA. If you look around at the parking lot when a lot of vehicles are there, you will see plenty of DV plates. Lots of USAA employees are receiving big VA disability checks. I know because I am one of those... — read more 

To all the people who come on this site or one like it and say some version of, “stop whining and leave,” YOU are the toxic a$$hole the rest of us are talking about. YOU the one we text or Slack each other about when you’re sucking up in a meeting. ... — read more 

I can only speak for the banking/finance aspect of things as my experience hasn't been in insurance but within the finance world, USAA is a joke. It's actually a liability to bring someone over from USAA into a SIB since everything they learned... — read more 

No need to attend that tomorrow. If you have worked at USAA for more than 5 years, then you know why it WAS a special place to work. You don't need 20 fake interactions to know why USAA is NO longer a special place to work. If USAA is serious about... — read more 

With the looming layoffs and general environment of this company, people I would once consider a friend are now starting to act real sketchy. People no longer want to help each other and are looking for reasons to "one up" each other or note their... — read more 

I live 53 miles away from a branch office and none of the coworkers I interact with work there so I would still have to use zoom

It's entirely possible that Wayne was hired to do the layoffs and cut expenses and reduce the 401K age-based contribution by the board. It would explain his severance package and pay raise...he knows he only has a few years in the chair before he is... — read more 

They are being fair in my eyes. Anyone else have a request granted or not granted ? I’m over 60 miles and caregiver for a disabled individual

Unpopular opinion I have to speak up for Wayne, didn't he say the goal with layoffs & restructure is to eliminate all the unnecessary enablers? So we don't have projects with five directors heckling one lead?

Hearing that trying to build a data science and info sec talent pipeline. Good opportunity for newer individuals, but don’t trust what’s happening.

If that's not the case keep walking and don't look back. I joined about a year ago and most of the things that drew me here during the interview process have either changed or were greatly exaggerated in the first place. Don't fall for the same... — read more 

It is possible to treat employees badly and not have to worry about a mass exodus because the job market is dismal and many cannot leave. However.. What will happen to the productivity of so many disappointed employees in the office? They certainly... — read more 

If you don’t want to go in, this is the time to RUN and apply. Don’t let your manager talk about flexibility if remote is important to you. There are plenty of companies with remote roles. You have time to study for interviews now, so do it. Even... — read more 

There are many much better options out there, you just need to start looking.

The bank quietly laid off a small number employees today. The stealth lay offs seems to preceded larger ones. So I anticipate more in the next few weeks. I remember months ago when Paul and company said the bank was done with lay offs for the... — read more 

I don’t work at USAA but I’m a member. I got this website when I was trying to figure out what was going on there, and frankly if I should pull my money from the bank and go someplace else. I honestly don’t know what to say, other than I’m... — read more 

For those hired remote after March 2021, it’s been confirmed the promise made at hire is not a valid exception regardless of what paperwork you have. If you live within 60 miles of an office, your status will be changed from remote to hybrid. It... — read more 

Will employees who don't RTO be fired or laid off?

USAA has hit a new low and the retribution policy is little more than lip service. More lies from Wayne’s crack pot failed big bank wanna-be executives. My team was warned today by our manager who delivered the message on behalf of our director... — read more 

I feel awful when I start thinking about how much this place has been ruined by terrible leadership. We are less and less competitive, it's as if they don't care about competitiveness at all anymore?

Does anyone have insider news about criteria for RTO exceptions?

How can you oversee a 1 billion dollar loss and keep your job? What value has his cost to the organization brought? How has he made USAA better? This is a continuously profitable company for a long, long time. Now we lose a billion and rather than... — read more 

I know some of you know when the next rounds are hitting. When will they be? We all know there has and continues to be working sessions on identifying who to let go.

Do you know this company never posted a loss in the history of the company even during the great depression, so how in the world do they justify a loss so big this year which obviously has resulted in layoffs. I think when they start laying off they... — read more 

I can’t stand this. The people they’ve laid off were doing their share of work. They kept the freeloaders and just enough of us who are also doing our share of the work, and who now have to do our share and the laid off employees share. But... — read more 

I've been noticing a reoccurring team among a good number of job openings I've been reading. The job description is very generic and vague. When you think about it, they could tell you anything and everything is your job once you sign. I've been... — read more

(Because I sort of am) how the company lost billions of dollars Equibus paribus what sh---y decisions caused us to lose money when other similarly situated FI's made money or lost comparatively less?

The leadership should be the ones thinking about that, but I'm curious what you think would stop or slow down the sinking of this company?

There are more layoffs planned in third and fourth quarters. If you want to keep your job, continue to suck up and stay busy. Outcomes aren't appreciated.

USAA Culture. Things observed and heard in 10 years. Couple of fine gentlemen loudly laughing about how they like to pull up to electric cars that have windows open and 'roll coal', flooring their diesel trucks to choke them with exhaust. ... — read more

Exploiting the fact that we are stuck here because of the dismal market and creating additional pressure on employees in order to squeeze them even more.... Isn't that a little lame even for this company?

Seriously, charge your car at home and if your car cant make it to work and home, get a better car that can. Its not your employers priority to pay for your cars power….
