since when did USAA become so brutal. It's very traumatic and damaging mentally of someone escorted out with hundreds of eyes staring. Nobody wants to be shamed publicly.

The management at USAA is ruining the company, need a total rebuild of EMGs!
@aj at least you guys got an email…P&C sent no communication, utterly cowardly
@b9 I keep saying, there’s a weird trend of people being targeted who are returning from FMLA or have JARs
Yeah I thought Wayne was the worst and now comes Juan, the worstest if that's even a word. Wish there's an ousting process.
How about being put on a performance plan the minute a person returns from an extended medical leave? How about managers routinely ignoring accommodation requests thinking they don't have to respect medical accommodations until they are documented (that is not true BTW)? Lastly, how about managers retroactively changing the scope of assignments and then crying "UNDER PERFORMING!"
Whatever ethics USAA once had and whatever respect given to employees is LONG in the past and it's all about polishing the tu-d at this point.
@b2 you missed the obvious anonymity provided by the journalist. They don't reveal their sources. Nice try though!
Providing info to a journalist is not going to help you or hurt the company at all, but it is a great way to get yourself fired with no severance
Anyone have the thread that had the SA Express journalist chime in? Now is a good time to contact him and share your experience. PR needs something to do. Their statement would be something like "We must reduce our workforce due to AI efficiencies we expect to realize. We are committed to supporting affected employees through this transition with severance packages and resources to assist in their job search".
Legal and ethics are working hard to protect USAA Board and CEO
CTO sends an email,” as you’ve likely heard over the past 24 hours…”
No, we haven’t. Only rumors. How utterly unprofessional.
And yet compensations for executives keep going up while accountability for them keep going down
I don't get it, they talk about transparency but where's it? There's barely any info about the layoffs from the leadership, even my manager said let's be empathetic and sensitive during this org change. But what are the org changes, who's impacted, what's going on?? Nothing on this.
What happened to "we take care of our own"? Is that just for the military? No longer applies to employees? maybe it never did. What about basic human dignity and respect? Escorting someone out with their belongings as if they are are a criminal is humiliating and goes against our very slogan. I also believe it was a huge miss for Michael Moran to not speak to the Bank employees as a whole. Feels like the thought process was "we will talk to the people leaders who will then cascade the information down". The problem with this logic is that only ~10% of the Bank population of employees heard from the Bank leader (MM) and the other 90% may not have heard anything at all. I know where I sit, none of us had any clue what was happening around us. We were finding out more on this site than from our leaders. Talk about "trust in leadership, or transparency". This was a missed opportunity.
