I have to wonder what am I still doing here considering I don't see a way to advance my career.

As some of us wait for the newest season of Bridgerton to drop and provide us with more insightful observations from dear Lady Whistledown, allow me, Lord or Lady Veritas (you choose) to step in and fill your time with some unfortunate truths not in... — read more 

Previous CHRO Tamla allegedly left the company because she needed to focus on what is most important, her well-being, her family, and her faith. I guess she determined that none of those things were really very important, as she now serves on Boards... — read more 

Is a sh-t show. That’s all.

Layoffs next Thursday: BBRC (Advisory, Quality, Program Teams). Anywhere from 15-20% trimming. Heavily targeted around leads in program teams, quality org, and advisory teams. I haven’t posted in about a year as I haven’t had reliable information... — read more 

Any insight as to when the next round of layoffs will be occurring? Specifically wondering about Bank.

Since they want RTO they need to truly ensure these exceptions are truly valid. People are making up every excuse to have a doctor sign off. I hope they stop them.

Found out recently that we fell from F100 to F200, and we’ll probably go down to F300. I’ve had a couple of recruiters mention that there have been LinkedIn posts from senior leadership in other corporations about how bad the company is doing and the... — read more 

I submitted my complaint to Ethics about my leader having favoritism. I asked them what the process would be. I was told that it depends on someone else. I didn’t realize that they dont do any investigations. I was told that they are FORced to... — read more 

Anyone else notice there are more than the usual HR folks in HO today, or is it just me? I’ve seen them everywhere in the cafe and huddled together when I grabbed my coffee this morning. Maybe I’m paranoid, but doubt it.

Rumor is there’s big news this week in AML dept. Anyone hear the same?

What is going on with USAA? I’ve read so far a few employees have been terminated days if not hours after reporting issues to HR! According to one post, the OP stated HR told them that they “made a false claim” about manager harassment and fired... — read more

So many wrongful terminations, another poster made a great point. Was this to avoid layoffs and severance? Wonder will a class action take place, as it should. I did learn DO NOT go to HR. Seems like a lot are retaliations from that.

Another one steps down in such a short period of time. I always wonder if the “spending time with the family” line is true at times. Probably just a smokescreen to cover the real reason they went bye bye.

It's all part of the HR strategy pushed by the management consultants on many corporate outfits these days: increasing automation and efficiency will guarantee a long slow grind of headcount reduction, so you really should not care about our invest... — read more 

All of Leaves & Accommodations team were laid off! Good luck trying to get a JAR now!

It feels like we're always stuck in a cycle of endless reorganizations and complicated new processes. Every single change seems to make things more convoluted, and we are left spinning our wheels instead of making progress. It's like we're constantly... — read more 

It’s happening… good luck

Had to go out on leave, lost out on my bonus because of it. Now they’re trying to deny my pay and I’m having to bend over backwards to get compensation for something that is literally a part of our benefits. This corrupt a-s company is the worst. — read more 

Openly criticizing ceo pay… Dum dee dum dum…

What has happened to the company I loved so much?? How is this behavior okay? After being with USAA for 24 years, my entire department changed. We were told it was due to a new model, designed to better serve members. A few months later we were... — read more

Cant ask members about kyc information because they will get angry and close accounts… I guess it will be better if usaa got fines and consent orders. Ill just drink my tea. Pip pip cheerio!

Seems like something has changed recently in sales expectations for the MSRs on the phones. I haven't worked on the phones in years, but when I did, we didn't really have sort of sales expectations. Sure, if an opportunity presented itself, we might... — read more

Bank is trying to fix things by following ECIO and trying Agile. However, they’re running lean and have existing teams enact Agile without training or hiring Agile folks. They’re also becoming less flexible, with BSB a complete nightmare to be in... — read more

Anyone else notice Employee Relations has changed. They no longer help us resolve conflict. It’s now a part of the service center. The ER leadership is a big joke.

First Wayne got his feelings hurt with the honest feedback from EJS, so he got rid of it. Employees started to use PULSE, that led to a 39% employee satisfaction, so now that’s being changed to quarterly. Now word is that The Post is being... — read more

Welp, bonus happened. How many turned in their notices? LOL!

Get out while you can. ECIO is a mess and not going to change anytime soon. The top is tainted and if you aren’t a “yes man”, you will be eliminated.

Wayne’s blog means next week local SA newspaper will release his pay increase for 2023 and it will show a big increase. How big you ask? My bet between 50 and 100%! Don’t be fooled, this is a lame attempt of damage control. He even had Comms team... — read more
