Exceeds, 4%, 150%. Lead
Met. 3% raise. 100% bonus.
Meh. Could be worse.
ME with < 1.0 multiplier and < 3% raise … kinda feel weird but can’t pin point exactly what went wrong
@151 Oops, forgot to finish my sentence:
The former would mean you didn't do particularly well, but USAA's performance offset that. The latter would mean that you did great. Now, all we get is one final number with no indication of where that number came from. The confirmation sheet literally says that the final number is based on LOB and individual performance.
As a side note, the complete and total lack of transparency from Juan on the bonus percentages is incredibly frustrating.
Okay, sure, someone's bonus might have been 100%, 105%, 110%, or more.
How much of that was due to USAA's "outstanding" performance, how much was due to the LOB's performance, and how much of it was due to individual performance? That's all opaque now, while in the past it was crystal clear.
Does a 108% multiplier mean that USAA's multiplier was 1.2 while your individual multiplier was 0.9? Does it mean that USAA's was 1.0 while yours was 1.08?

The narrative is that how we calculate scores hasn't changed, just that the numbers aren't shown. But the numbers aren't reflecting that. Based on past bonuses, all of us who got ME should have gotten at least ~120% multipliers (i.e., an 18% bonus with a 15% target) if this was supposedly USAA's best year ever.
A 110% multiplier means that your effective bonus (at a 15% target) is 16.5%. That isn't terrible, but low when compared to previous years when USAA did worse from a scorecard perspective.
Bottom line is that the math ain't mathing, and this feels like a not-so-subtle move to pay employees less than they deserve by making the calculations black box.
ME, 3%, 118%
The credibility of this site dying by post
@wg they really out here like “7.5% raise and 175% bonus” ( 😂 ). But I guess if it makes them feel better 🤷🏻♂️.
Som of yall really be lying about your bonuses.
Same as below poster, ME and unexpected low raise. I consistently got nice raises on prior years and I worked the hardest in 2025, so I expected same or even better raise. Makes me question what have I done wrong and now, my motivation to work harder has plummeted.
I got a ME, but my manager said this has been the hardest year to get an EE approved. They said they fought tooth and nail for us, and the budget wasn’t there. My bonus is several thousand less than last year and my incentive increase was only 2%. I do have pay band constraints on my increase, but still rather disappointing when all we have heard is about record profits. I am also a member, and have received none of the money back I keep seeing in member comms… disappointing year for sure.
Posts like this don't add a lot of value without any context of where someone is within a salary range, where they are in the company, etc. Not showing scorecards definitely provides a whole new level of obfuscation. Its just going to be more political and more difficult to have a good view of performance going forward.
EE.
450% raise
Next in line to be the CEO
EE: 7%
Incentive: 155%
ME. 2%. 100% bonus and a kick to the nuts
ME, 4%, 105% bonus
ME, less than 3%, 110 bonus.
@k3 thank you! People shouldn’t expect a bigger bonus and then complain about being overworked due to layoffs.
As far as I’m concerned, only Exceeds, Exceeds should be above their target. Then at target or below.
But, actually staff properly!
How many people did they have to layoff for the rest of the employees to get a good bonus? Money transferring from one pocket to another. But the question is, Is the companies in USA really doing all that well? It's a K shaped economy. Rich getting richer and middle class getting poorer. Even the 130K jobs the US gov't says were created will have a revised number of perhaps half the 130K or even negative. AI & Robotics & automation are taking over many jobs. It's just a matter of time it comes for your job. Not enough strict regulation for AI is causing Hyperscalers (like Microsoft, Google, Meta, Amazon, Tesla-xAI) to do whatever they want with AI cause the gov't can't catch up or understand exactly what the hyperscalers are doing. The markets are disconnected from the average Joe. And it's only going to get worse. Save your money, cause you still have to pay the bills after you get laid off. Young college grads are the ones who will be mainly affected since even after a few college degrees, still they can't find a job.
@fk usually true, but for the first time in my 10 years I saw entire orgs get above 115 bonus and all were ME. it was org wide and obviously approved my EMG. 60+ people
@ac I'm curious why you are commenting on what you are curious about why waste your time responding
Be careful of fake numbers on here.
ME max incentive is 115%, anymore requires EMG approval and those are rare. All upper levels see the yellow/red flag in the OneSource system as it rolls up for approvals.
- a USAA leader
EE 6.3 % merit 160% bonus
ME/6.4 raise/175% bonus
They didn’t share the scorecard probably would have been a lot more given how successful we were this year - 110% and only 3% raise - I know I wasn’t rated that high to get 110 - I think HR just did that to make it look good and so they didn’t have to pay the real amount- shenanigans
@ac Are you in HR or Comms? What’s wrong with sharing this information? Once company stopped sharing the information, this is the proper option.
@OP Meets expectations, 110% bonus, 4% increase, Lead non member contact role
@ac transparency
I agree that it is a decent total comp if you are a manager or above.
Curious as to why you needed to share this?
