I'm so burnt out that it's not funny. I've kept trying to apply for PTO, but get told to "re-consider" due to business needs/certain projects. The one time I did go on PTO for a few days, I came back to my deadline/work being messed up and having... — read more

IT help desk waits are for hours! This problem created by inept/short-sighted mgmt.

International Pension Buyouts in 2021 Statements
Just came across an old note in the 2021 financial statements. Did you know USAA kicked off a plan to buy out and shut down international employees’ pension plans? Won’t be surprised to see that coming along soon here. Fun times.
"Enhanced" PTO is more forced attrition
The powers that be have cooked up another forced attrition scheme. "Enhanced" PTO (time is accrued monthly rather than front loaded) will cause enough unrest that dissatisfied employees will undoubtedly leave. Add that to the 4 days a week in office... — read more

How is there not a class action lawsuit against this place?
They used deceptive recruiting practices during 2021 and 2022 only to renege on many promises to lure talent away from good solid companies. The people that left threw away solid jobs/careers in lieu of what was promised only to be bamboozled by this... — read more
Retaliation: when the head of your department orders a Code Red on you
Retaliation can be subtle or blatant. However, any negative action taken by an employer which is severe enough to deter a reasonable employee from exercising their legal rights is likely to support a legal claim of retaliation. Any adverse change in... — read more
Hypothetically speaking what would happen if a remote employed moved states without updating information
if you're fully remote could you relocate to a different state without permission?
The October layoffs started early..
Several execs in NBVI got their 60 day notice last week; their last day is Nov 18th. Other areas in P&C were impacted as well. That is consistent with USAA's pattern as the last day for the group previous was Sept 18th... Hopefully this is it for... — read more

What did this place do in the last five years or so to deserve that loyalty?
USAA please get your sh-t together

Severely reduced benefits coming in 2024 and she calls it enhanced and exciting.
PTO allocates monthly in 2024 now? This is enhanced benefits?
So, apparently, now PTO is allocated monthly. It’s almost like a guide on how to just make people feel worse. My friends companies rarely even have this. It’s so shameful how they keep saying things are enhanced or better when they just take more... — read more
