How many read the article on Connect the other day about mental health, and how much the company cares about us? Too little and too late.
What would you do as CEO?
By now it's no surprise that Wayne's USAA is a sh-t-show. Employee morale has never been lower, thousands have been laid off, the company is on its way to two losses back to back after being profitable for a century, and members are becoming... — read more
CEO and USAA employee for >30 years, you would think that he’s equipped enough
to know better, understand what good and bad looks like from leaders from his past experience. It’s like bringing a CLOWN into the White House, it [White House] just turns into a CIRCUS.
Usaa cites “health” as being a reason for the large exodus ……
They omitted a crucial term: "mental." Six of my fellow teammates departed, and each attributed their departure to "mental health" among their reasons for leaving. USAA, it's time to step it up. I commend those who made the choice to depart... — read more
Tuesday 09/05 prediction - first day of RTO will be a hot mess
Let's just start with the parking garage snarls, awful traffic on the surrounding roads (especially SA office), incomplete desk configurations, overflowing toilets, stolen desk chairs, awkward silences and disgruntled looks, loud zoom meetings to... — read more

We hire the best of the best
Apparently in one of the other campuses a trainee snapped and sent a distasteful email to the whole class saying mean things about them all then quit. While also hiring someone with known identity fraud charges. Hmm
Holy moly! Over 10 BILLION in comprehensive losses in 2022!
Holy bejezzus if true. https://www.reddit.com/r/USAA/comments/166ptur/2022_financial_statements_where_are_the_details/ If this is true and what accountant said what is valid, Usaa is sitting on a lot of unrealized losses. With rates going up... — read more
Vote Out the Board of Directors in August 2024, We Should Have Already
The best chance to affect change would be to rally members to replace the worst folks on the Board with people who will hold our executives accountable and have a proven track record to turn the company around. Unless that happened, and it doesn't... — read more
From last year. Things are worse now.

Concerns to say the least
Still incorrectly reports how he died, but everything else is on point! https://wepublishnews.com/news/usaa-employees-tragic-death-on-campus-sparks-concerns-over-workplace-mental-health
Can everyone smell the RTO tacos they’re about to feed us Tuesday (9/5)?
While they (Wayne and his EC) assume everyone’s happy to be back to their respective cubicle…

If we thought morale was low a few weeks ago
It has hit levels we didnt even know possible. How anyone here can even focus on the mo--nic tasks management has us doing is beyond me.
USAA is the worst
We're pushed to our limits and we're working ourselves to exhaustion day in, day out, and for what? So that we can have the luxury of worrying about our jobs every day? So that we can expect not to get a raise no matter how hard we work? This is the... — read more
The worst days of USAA
I have been with USAA now for 21 years, this is the worst thing to happen in our history. Wayne, in my 21 years having see many CEOs come and go has been the worst leader to. Not employee centric at all. Bonus structure under his leadership is... — read more
Hurricane Response with a totally demoralized workforce?
Looks like Wednesday's hurricane is headed straight for another large cluster of USAA insureds. The last hurricane and the blow-up in the RE market was blamed for the first-ever loss then the rando layoffs. So, yet another cycle of mad-as-he-l... — read more
Too Many Chiefs In EMG and EC

Simple RTO Solution
Tie the yearly bonus to time spent in the office. Easy and simple. If you are local to a primary office and don't want to commute, that is ok but you aren't eligible for the yearly bonus. This would make it fair as well with the number of permanent... — read more
Peace vs. Impact
Did they want peace...or for their decision to matter and have an impact. No one makes that decision, in that way, without wanting attention to it. A lone call for help, if perhaps to save others, from a fastly sinking ship. Say his name. Invoke... — read more
Hiding the Incident
HR is joining calls to tell people not to do internet searches so it doesn’t draw attention. Really? They should be addressing the problem that caused it and not hide it.
A once beautiful culture
General Robles used to ensure the employees were well cared for, which ultimately ensured the members were well cared for. Missing the days of Gen. Robles and Gen. Lyles.
Conflict of Interest disclosure, is it illegally forced?
I received an email yesterday to sign COI form, email is very unclear and confusing in that it says something like you have something like 30 days once its required etc. Its not available in onesource and you have to create a request yourself to add... — read more

Toxicity Hindsight

We're losing too many people and nobody seems to care

Bank Risk Leaders Wasting $$$$

Thinking it’s in poor taste to promote a new life insurance product in the wake of the tragedy that happened this weekend. Yes life insurance is a wonderful product and a hard conversation, but timing couldn’t be worse.
This is getting ridiculous

Wayne, Board: Things ARE NOT OKAY.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but we need to hault all charity, outreach, etc. for the rest of the year. We have some internal house keeping and introspection to do. “Face the Fight”?? Employees have “Face the CEO” Things are not okay.
USAA Employees Have Been Pampered
It's go on for too long. Glad to see some belt-tightening going on at this company. Mayne there is chance that Wayne can save this company from it's employees.
Lots of threads here pointing to garbage sites, we need actual verifiable facts
