I'm here to tell you that YES it is. Do not let them gaslight you into thinking it's bad out there that you won't find better benefits or pay. I'm making more in pay doing the same job I did at USAA with wayyyyyy less stress. And I'm no longer on... — read more 

As someone else noted, narcissists will always be with us: strutting their stuff, showboating on slack, harvesting 95% of the credit for the team's accomplishments. That's the way of the world (corporate, nonprofit, wherever). But even the most... — read more 

Here's my pre-synopsis: We'll have some cheesy but safe as milk music mix to open the meeting. Then the mission moment to make the employees feel like their own lives sukk a bit less. Then comes the strutting Peacock, who will be greeted with a... — read more 

For those of you that have been laid off recently, were you required to work all 60 days of your notice period? Or were you allowed to leave earlier and still get your severance package?

It was about our midyear scores. It was up earlier, but now it's gone? Was there something we weren't supposed to see?

It’s not supposed to be like this, right? We aren’t supposed to sit and watch while the Wayne and his corrupt EC systematically dismantle all the safeguards that are there to keep them from stealing the Members’ money, are we? We are told to raise... — read more

Question for those who have recently resigned. Was your two week notice honored? Going to a local competitor if that makes a difference.

There are those who still have faith in this company and think they are safe because they have always been among the best performers. That's not necessarily a bad thing, one should always hope for the best, but at the same time, one must always be... — read more

You don’t need any more money. You are already being paid at 50% of market rate. OMG I’m so glad they didn’t aim for 25% market rate for your title!!! Repeat after me: I am happy to take 50% of what I’m worth I don’t need money. I can make... — read more

Let’s let Wayne know what an outstanding job he is doing (destroying USAA). Add a comment and we’ll include it in the USAA employee Labor Day greeting card we’re sending to Wayne this year.

How? Who named it? Wayne?

Does anyone know about the total number of layoffs that occurred last week? Seems like the next one would be at the end of September, since we’ve had them in March, May and July now.

Regional employee and contemplating leaving, but definitely scared to with the market. I'm 100% sure that my region has jobs since there's a lot of tech opportunity, but still nervous. So I'd like to know your why and if you did switch companies... — read more

In the last layoffs, noticed that people who were openly critiquing RTO and other decisions were laid off.

A coworker got fired. We were told via email then a short meeting, and nothing was disclosed. He was pretty good at his job and we liked him. It’s very surprising that he was fired. Anyone knows what could be the reasons of someone being fired at... — read more

Want to leave, but it’s been much more difficult to do so - the interviews are more in depth for IT and I’m very behind technology-wise, which is why I’ve been at usaa for 5+ years.

You know it's going to be such a glorious day of rapture!!! The execs will greet us all with raging woodies, salivating over the upcoming jumps in productivity. They will be so so happy that they will want to see us an extra day in 2024. Ok, dream... — read more
