It all becomes much easier to cope with once you stop believing that any executive cares about anyone other than themselves. It's easy to get melodramatic about it when you are in the process of realizing this but haven't fully made it, but one you fully accept it the world is much easier to understand. Principled people are an anomaly in general. Corporate executive selection processes actively filter principled people out of the club. They are a risk. It's as simple as that. It's not personal. It's not some new development. It's just how the game works.

HR? They are identifying the next wave of FTE's who have to reapply for their positions. Who do you think HR works for?
Where is HR in all this madness?
This is a prime example of how senior leaders gaslight employees and how doublespeak is the new normal at USAA.
Amala has said repeatedly when asked if more layoffs were planned in ECIO that her headcount was going to “remain flat” for the foreseeable future. To the untrained ear, that would suggest that layoffs were more or less done in ECIO. Like everything else that comes out of her mouth, that was a lie.
Laying off dozens of people to replace them with people from another company may mean that the total number of ECIO employees remains the same, but her statements were misleading at best, maliciously deceptive at worst.
Giving people 60 days notice to compete for their existing jobs is a cutthroat tactic and only serves to let the new EMG over that area bring in his peons.
This is such a disgusting move. Shame on everyone involved in this. Shame on Amala for intentionally misleading her people. Shame on the new CISO for bringing in his buddy from his last company who fully intends to replace every single tenured USAA people with his cronies. More USAA culture going down the drain.
The company is now run by the most Machiavellian group of executives I’ve ever seen. They are conniving, manipulative, and sociopathic. They have zero empathy laying people off in the midst of a terrible job market because their jobs are contract-based and all but guaranteed.
To those affected, I’m sincerely sorry. Make no mistake, though, they already know the people who are going to fill these roles. They are almost all going to come from Truist. The executive in charge of this decision is simply bringing on his old crew. There may be a handful of people who are able to keep their jobs, but the vast majority will not. If they intended to keep these people, they wouldn’t have made the decision to give them notice in the first place.
Having to reapply for old similar job back, knowing the chances are low. Vicious tactic
A handful of teams were told their positions were eliminated and reorged to have similar jobs but with new requirements. They also said that nobody is guaranteed a job and that postings will be external as well as internal. No preference to those who had jobs eliminated. Remote employees are unlikely to be approved for new jobs.
