This season has been a relentless whirlwind with no clear end, and to everyone caught in the storm, I’m truly sorry. If you’ve already been laid off or know it’s coming, I hope what’s next brings more peace, less stress, and a fresh start that’s miles better than what you left behind.

This one spoke to me. I am like another poster: been there a minute and was given many accolades. Then, between 2016 to now, dipsh-ts have been coming down on me with some made up fairytale cr-p about how I need to do better. My team carries the weight for our area and we are in compliance with too rated efficiency. It is a head scratcher but at this point I think they are trying to manage people out .
I was only there for three years, but by the end, I had to take time off to go to rehab for depression and anxiety.
The rehab nurses would take daily assessments that asked, "What do you look forward to when leaving rehab?" Every day I said, "Leaving USAA."
This really is how most feel either when they get downsized or leave there. The joy you feel in your life again after being gone is amazing! Toxic and bullying culture and most of the time by people who do not even have the right experience for the role they are in. The place is poison!
Having been impacted on Tuesday after a very long time with USAA, I can tell you that by the end, they had broken me. I went from being celebrated to vilified in the last few years. I won’t go in to details but my self esteem is low where I once had confidence. I don’t know what’s next or even how to go about it. As terrifying as this all is, I have a sense of calm that I cannot explain.
“A toxic job doesn’t just drain your energy, it also erodes your confidence. It often happens slowly, over time. You second-guess yourself. You start doubting your abilities. You go from feeling competent and capable to feeling like you’re barely keeping up. And worst of all, the stress and negativity don’t just stay at work. They follow you home.”
Get unstuck! Life is short.
