Thread regarding USAA layoffs

@8xql+1omfGRqQ

No I am not in management. Just a worker bee.

I bet you a million this is a manager or a district manager.. well guess what. “FU-K YOU”

I've been W@h for at least 7 yrs. What a ridiculous suggestion

@2lxa+1omfGRqQ
Exactly, it’s one thing to deny workers benefits or raises they’re entitled to, but taking away a benefit you promised to them when hiring is extremely unprofessional, no matter how many companies are doing it. Can you believe they try to make a moral issue about it, putting crying people on stage at the town hall about how depressed they are stuck at home?

What about the working moms, what about people who had better job offers but brought their talent to USAA because they appreciated the work flexibility, what about people who have to report to smug leaders who are still working remote while the Wfh they were promised is taken away?

I know it feels unfair to pre-Covid employees, and we’re also advocates for you getting wfh opportunities as well. But it’s not the same. You weren’t promised the same thing and you didn’t make critical life decisions around that assumption.

Yes people work at-will, but it’s still a childish move by corporate America to do this. They are so angry about how strong the job market is that they are intent to have the Fed break it.

Ok, so you think it's fair to change the rules for those folks who HIRED on as remote workers to appease those who hired on as local "in the office" workers? Those office workers, who, because of the pandemic, worked remotely for a time and now, have to revert to the local office status which they agreed to, when hired on? Yeah, THAT is great logic,--makes perfect sense. What a bunch of crybabies

To Op: they might consider but only after you’re fired

I’ve been told that how much you are in office will affect your bonus.

If you folks would stop quibbling and read what the OP wrote, you would realize it makes sense. Remote workers aren't commuting, and local workers can choose whether or not to commute or how often to commute. The only effect will be to your bonus. If you are remote and are performing at the same level as someone that is commuting, the employee commuting deserves at least a bonus more than the remote employee because they are doing mote to support the company mission.

The ignorance demonstrated by these comments is astounding. To honest, USAA looks like it is trying to get rid of remote employees long-term, so I would get behind this idea if I was a remote employee. Better to have a decent paying job and not receive a bonus you aren't guaranteed, then to be unemployed.

No one is surprised other companies reneged on wfh promises, but other companies don’t rely so heavily on the culture and community to be successful and competitive.

USAA is not adaptable enough to become soulless corporation without failing. Maybe if it were more nimble, it could have screwed employees and military Members while grabbing a nice slice of the market pies.

Whichever power brokers support Wayne and his vision will find the company plundered and left in decay. Hopefully it can be salvaged, but I’m skeptical.

The idea top-to-bottom is extremely short-sighted. Regardless of the policy USAA is trying to push down, life will happen. Meaning, people will get sick and those people will do the responsible thing and stay home. Parents will have times where they need to care for their children at home. People will run into unforeseen circumstances where working from home will be the only way to work for that day and/or week and maybe an entire month. These things can happen throughout the year. But what you are saying is forget about their work and what they have delivered (regardless of location), lets punish them for not physically existing in a place for an extended period of time.

Trying to box this all under a one size fits all solution that only punishes the people who do the "rubber meet road" work and is just a asinine way to think. I do not know how you got your head shoved that far up your own butt.

Who invited this guy to the discussion board? Worst post ever

Re--rded idea

So what you are saying is that you don't want USAA to honor it's pledge to employees who applied for a position that was advertised as remote?
Your idea is a direct violation of USAA's Values. It's employees like you who are experiencing Stockholm Syndrome that are bringing down the rest of us.

That idea is hot garbage, but oh so bold if you're Wayne or his minions. This is like telling your kid that you'll keep the beatings down if they finish all their nightly raw squid and tripe soup and lick the bowl clean. Maybe add an extra bonus if the employee never takes PTO and works weekends? Then if they do all that and show up in the office every day, they can still get a PIP for coming in one day with mismatched socks or nuking fish in the microwave. Yeah, don't see any signs of potential employer abuse there.

That's just nonsense

Nonsense. If an employee accepted a position that was 100% remote, they should not be required to work in office, even if they live next door. Poor leadership. I dont care if TX law allows employers to change hiring agreements. You changed the agreement, you just lost my trust and loyalty.
