I'm done. I'm going to GTFOH as soon as I can. I took notes on interactions with my boss and it's under the radar abuse. I'm the only person getting treated this way and it rarely happens in front of others. I KNOW this person will harm my... — read more
Jason witty seems pretty smart…
I really do think he has the right mindset and has the FI background needed but I am starting to wonder does he see the talent being hired under and around him coming from Amala’s Region’s wheelhouse as really up to par folks ? One let down after... — read more
I dont know about aml layoffs…
Been hearing from some teams that they are gonnakeep crosstraining in detections and investigations, and the ultimate goal is a single analyst work flow. I dont see how there possibly be layoffs. The numbers needed to maintain slo is what we have... — read more
Upcoming RTO - low morale but hey, we got tacos!
Looks like they starting to roll out the food parties for our forced "welcome back" to the office. Yeah, never mind our two hour commutes, child care issues or other emergencies - here's a taco, now shut your ungrateful piehole. Going forward, this... — read more
Is the koolaid really that strong or are most employees just too fearful of backlash?
USAA is the only company I've worked for where employees do not seem to feel comfortable enough to stick with any thoughts they have that could in some way be deemed as "negative." Every aspect of the job is painted out to be amazing, and if someone... — read more
Growth opportunities
I'm curious what others have to say about how much growth opportunity they had here. Sometimes I feel like it's my fault, like maybe I should have tried harder, and yet I'm aware that I simply didn't have enough opportunities to grow here.

Immediately gone and no reason? Who will assume his role
Is USAA really as bad we're making it out to be?
I've been giving this a lot of thought lately and was faced with an important question: Is USAA really as bad we're making it out to be? Yes, it is. The answer is yes, it really is that bad.
Skills Self-Evauluation
Is everyone receiving these? Is this part of the "weeding" process?

No confidence in Wayne
I’m no fan of Wayne and hearing how he ran P&C, I was shocked when he was announced as the CEO in waiting back in Dec 2019. But, the issues with the OCC, that was years in the making and hit before he took the helm in Feb 2020. Unfortunately for him... — read more
Layoffs August 16-18
I have this on my personal google calendar, but with no recollection as to how it was added (as I'm now in the stage of my USAA career known as "Using White Claw As A Mixer"). I am going to guess it's from a layoff posting? Anyway. That's in two... — read more

USAA has become the Great Value Navy Federal CU
That's it. A once-great company sunk by greedy executives and id--ts.
Volunteers Needed & USAA Culture

Most of us posting here will be gone by September October
They are doing a purge. What will the environment be like after, both at USAA and here on the site. Sometimes that person who is a bit of a salty crab apple can be a high performer. They know they have skills and that's where they derive some... — read more
RTO is all about the huge campus
Ok I get RTO su-ks BUT has anyone considered that before COVID. Most of the staff was in that huge campus building off Fredericksburg rd. I think it boils down to those insane expenses it takes to run that campus. If it’s not occupied they are... — read more
25 US Army officers and only took 1 civilian…
to sink this once great ship! It’s time to re-evaluate and get back to basics to preserve 100 years of tradition before USAA becomes just another (extinct) Blockbuster company. If you think Fortune 500 list is not sufficient yardstick, just look... — read more
Wayne is the Wish version of a CEO

USAA is still listing jobs as "Hybrid"
They are listing Jobs located in San Antonio as Hybrid although the job will required 4 days in office starting in January. Not suprising a deceptive company like this is STILL lying to potential employees.
Buckle in, remote friends.
Expect your calls to be picked apart word by word. It does not matter if you’re meeting your metrics. It does not matter if you’re new or seasoned. If you’re remote, you’re in their line of sight. And not in a good way. Goals revolving purely... — read more
Restructuring Coming
A source higher up in the budgeting office has advised me that more IT and AML/KYC to be impacted by end of September. Preliminary fiscal reports showing USAA is down pretty big this year so they are cutting where they can. They are doing this so... — read more
Who honestly wants to still work here?
Once January comes and that 4 day RTO hits I expect to see a mass exodus after bonuses are given (myself included). I would never recommend working here or doing business with this Godawful company. And this place is supposed to be a military... — read more

Is Wayne Peacock the worst CEO that USAA has ever had?
Long time employees… curious on your thoughts. Has there been a worse CEO than Wayne? I’ve honestly never seen more people openly talk in office about how much they dislike him. Not just IPs but managers and directors… people in staff, bank... — read more
"I spent my lunch hour today reading every slack post"
Is that a passive aggressive microaggression / flex? Like it is relevant it took place on his "lunch hour", LOL Wait. Is Wayne not FLSA exempt?? Now I feel bad.
Gaslighting at the Employee Meeting??
I watched the employee meeting live on UTV this morning and during the Q&A portion, the facilitator asked Wayne a question from Slack regarding limited growth opportunities for Remote workers now that the company is embracing RTO. As a remote... — read more

Wayne values all opinions...
As long as they line up with his blind mantra. Apologizing for the negative changes (RTO, layoffs) you forced/implemented doesn't give you a pass, Wayne. And where is the data on the part where you mentioned RTO is starting to show results??? I'm... — read more

Core Values - Townhall
Wayne, is talking about the core values right now. How can feel so proud of them when he doesn’t follow them himself?
For those of you in regional offices, were you able to find a new role easily?
