Thread regarding USAA layoffs

Take My Advice

Don't give USAA 100% of your effort. This company doesn't deserve it. USAA used to deserve 100% of your effort. The folks that calls themselves senior executive leadership now give zero respect to employees and deserve zero respect in return.

I have given various jobs 100% of my effort when is deserved or when it suits my purposes. 75% of my effort is good enough most times not to get fired and in some cases is lauded by clueless management. Stick around for whatever bonus shows up at the holidays and in March for 2023. Then make sure you have your next job lined up so you can telll Wayne to take his badge-swiping micro-management and blow it out his @ss. While you are at it, thank the Wayne for being the captian of the ship when USAA had it's first losing year ever in 100 years. Bob Davis appreciates Wayne's tireless efforts to outdo him as the worst CEO in USAA's history.

The fact that you don't realize that leadership DOES matter, whether it is in the military or the the civilian world, demonstrates what a WORTHLESS clown you are. Put that in your pipe and smoke it you bootlicker.

Move along, then. Your perceived injustices don't justify you being a sc-mbag to your fellow workers. It isn't about leadership, it's about the people next to you.
The fact you don't understand that, makes you worthless. Move on.

@1pwp+1nspank?

I'm not surprised to hear that. Did you have a scrum master with zero IT experience...let alone any software development experience? That is part of the problem. I have to work with a scrum master now that has zero software development experience and has poor organizational skills on top of that. I essentially have to do this individual's job for them in additon to doing my own work. The real kicker is that this individual was hired remote and will stay remote, while I will have to RTO in September. That is until my next job is lined up and I receive my bonus for this year. Then it's goodbye USAA and thr talentless clowns up and down the chain at all levels.

I had a short contracting stint within the USAA IT department in 2021-22. If our 6-person scrum team wrote 20 lines of code in 6 months, I’d be amazed. It was the single most egregious waste of resources I’d ever encountered.

I guess what I’m saying is, in my situation, giving 100% would have lasted for less than 5 minutes per working day. That was USAA’s fault…

Companies are smart. They know when other companies payout bonuses. They pay sign on bonuses to make you whole from what you are leaving. It is a lot harder to get one because you just want one.

Listening to douche-nozes like you will keep someone is a USAA job eating a sh't sandwich on a daily basis.

To everyone who thinks this is a Troll post...let me burst your bubble and tell you it's not. If you think one employee not giving 100% is milking the company, then you are ignoring the criminal.behavior of people at the EC level who have been at the helm of the company during it's first losing year on 100 years...but still managed a raise. bonus, or both. These are the folks who are truly milking USAA and it's military membership. Remember that the next you encounter a junior enlisted member of the military. That is someone that Wayne is actively screwing over just like employees.

Why would I do that? I can collect whatever bonus money I get AND then negotiate for a signing bonus. Thinks outside the box. Wayne did and got the board to give him a 157% pay raise based on CEO performance that should have gotten him fired.

Why are you waiting for bonus time? I would say if you are in a critical enough role you should be negotiating a signing bonus to cover any bonus you would leave on the table. USAA even matched at hire.

Agreed 💯

I wish I had done that while I was there and saved my energy for subsequent interviews. I was exhausted doing double time. The USAA work a few months before I quit was useless in presenting myself to other companies.

Always take care of your career first. They always take care of the almighty dollar in executives' pockets first. Learn from that.
