UsAA executive leadership has told employees that there is a form to file exceptions so you can be allowed more flexibility for remote work. That web page and specifically the form have been non-functional this week since being released on Monday. This is just more evidence of lies about culture being perpetrated by USAA senior executives. There IS a problem with culture because USAA employees have been working successfully in a remote fashion for the past 3 years. That doesn't fit the micromanagement narrative put forth by the CEO and head of HR. If the BoD was smart, they would fire both individually before they destroy the cultural legacy at USAA. The RTO push at USAA has nothing to do with productivity and 100% everything to do with the egos of senior executives who have never served in uniform.

So this is interesting. Anonymous posts that take personal swipes at people that have nothing to do with USAA layoffs. Cowardly behavior like this reflects poorly on the authors who clearly lack emotional intelligence.
What most don't know is the exception form was taken down quickly because it had a vulnerability in the website. Someone could drill down into it and find the WFH information and other personal information on all the employees. So they took the site down and they are working on it. Of course they are dragging their feet to get it back up so they can have less exceptions filled.
Sounds like USAA is ramming it's big blue D up the po-p chutes of employees
Thanks to Wayne or Tamla for their reply in the last post. The ignorance displayed in this post is phenomenal. The only way you could display this level of ignorance is if you willfully drank from the kool-aid poured by Wayne or Tamla and are compliciant. Otherwise you are just some corporate bootlicker at USAA that senior executives are hoping to guilt trip back into the office. As far as the other comments are concerned regarding the individual who replied...many people are giving USAA management the chance to make the right decision. If USAA senior management makes the wrong decision, then corporate bootlickers like yourself can work 18 hours a day to fill the need from good, honest USAA employees quitting because we got tired of the nonsense from Wayne, Tamla, and Amala.
Personally, my hunch is the communication about the accommodations form was misleading, like every other communication from USAA. I believe that form was only put up for ONE day despite the communication saying it would be available “starting” May 8th or 9th. This is textbook USAA deception. While saying it would be available on that date isn’t a lie, it’s misleading if the form was only available one day. It should have said it would ONLY be available on the day it was and not “starting.” But that would mean being truthful, transparent, honest, and doing the right thing; we all know USAA goes to great lengths to do none of the above despite all the smoke they blow up peoples’ as--s. This is just my personal opinion and I could be wrong, but I smell and rat and this is classic USAA dishonesty and deceptive behavior to a tee
Likewise. They have ruined the “culture” already. I can only imagine how worse it gets when we RTO/layoffs. No common sense whatsoever. They’ll continue to fail.
I don’t even want to be around anymore
Let karma catch up and LOL gets let go in the layoffs. And then they are old and suck at life so no one wants to hire them or visit them in the nursing home. How terrible.
LOL troll is the same one person over and over posting about their "bennies". We get it you've been here 20 yrs you moved up from MSR and are middle management congrats. But you're part of the problem. Be a fing solution for once in you're life cuz it's gonna be a sad day when you file for retirement, can't comprehend all the nuances of those bennies and realize Wayne and Co fed you out of thousands of dollars.
The therapy reference is to the LOL troll that is out of touch with reality. USAA was deceptive hiring people as remote and requiring them to RTO. I used to love the culture and my job but I can’t stand hypocrites. The LOL troll needs to get a hobby.

You need therapy.
LOL, I have no idea if this is four different people or just one disgruntled employee pretending to have a conversation. The RTO is happening across many industries across America. Maybe it's for a real reason, maybe it's because leadership really thinks it will help, maybe they just want full offices. None of us know! But for you and all of the people who seem to hate the place you work so much...why are you here? Just go to one of the amazing corporations that pay better, have better bennies, allow work from home, and have CEO's that are the nicest most friendly chaps in the world.
Maybe because that doesn't exist?
So everyone complaining here about everything USAA related: is it that you hate everything about the company or are you just mad that you have to go into the office? Because it seems like many of you hate your job and only stayed because of WFH; gee, it's shocking that the company would want to get rid of people who hate everything but like sitting in their pajamas playing video games while they "work".
***and note, this isn't about the people who bust their a-s working from home. Many do. But many do not.
You know who won't stop.by and respond? The BoD, Wayne, and Tamla because they are enabling this nonsense. Either organizations within USAA have done well during remote work, such as Forbes naming USAA the #1 Bank in the United States. Or corporate executives have lied to present REAL data and.numbers to make the case. Otherwise we are being led by a group of empty-suit yes-people that will tell their leadership, vis-a-vis Wayne, how terrible decisions at the top actually are.
There's an assumption in all these things that the leaders at the top actually care. We need to stop kidding ourselves by making these appeals to logic and empathy. They do not care. Not. One. Bit. If they cared, they wouldn't have made this decision. If you don't care about employees, you can basically do whatever you want within the bounds of the law.
We can make as many logical arguments as we want, but this is not a decision about logic.
It's a decision about power.
It's a decision about forcing attrition.
It's a decision about tax benefits for the company.
This RTO situation, despite being an ethical disaster, is perfectly legal. At-will employment means they could require employees to do pretty much anything and our choices are to "comply or goodbye."
It sucks, but that's how it is.
The culture is already ruined.Doesn't take long to destroy what others worked YEARS to build.
The form is a SharePoint product. It won't get fixed because Wayne Peacock doesn't want to any employees to have a legitimate exception to RTO. If Wayne cared about employees, the issues with the exception form would have been addressed 24-48 hours ago.
