I've accepted that I won't be happy here again
Not until I walk out for good. But I still do my work, still do it right. I just stopped playing the games. No more kissing up, no more pretending to love meetings, no more acting like I care about things I don't. I do my job and go home. That's... — read more
Preparing for Q2 layoffs

Learn from my mistakes
Never work for free. If they say do more now and it'll pay off later, don't believe it. Don't do extra unless the extra shows up in your check in a way of a promotion or a raise. It's not worth it because it never materializes.
I hate to say, but the old way is dead
Younger people figured it out. You have to move around to get ahead. Companies aren't loyal so why should we be. Stay a few years and go. Nobody under forty five is getting a gold watch.

Rob Gronkowski
Why has the board of directors not told super bowl legend Rob Gronkowski to save the company? Maybe even try telling Rob to tell the group of 25 army officers that founded to stop rolling in their graves?? What a joke.
Next Reorg
Does anyone have any insight as to when the next phase of "How We Work" will be? Phase 1 was January, just wondering when Phase 2 will be?

Heart goes out to those impacted!
As the post says, my heart goes out to those impacted in January. When I was impacted in 2023, I had a designated HR person assigned to me to help try and find another internal role, which I was able to do. From what I’m hearing and seeing online... — read more
Anyone have insight into when the next round starts?
Days, weeks, months?
New technology leader
What do you all think about the new Technology leader, doubt he’s fit for this job, previous one at-least knew about the technology. Do you think he’s just here to get more layoffs?
Bank restructuring
So today was the first day of phase 1 of this bank restructuring/re-org. Not only was my team disbanded, but our BA & BBPC were impacted on January 28, and those 2 did a ton of work and were the main reasons we were able to closeout our 6 issues on... — read more
I'm so tired of this
The lack of transparency is jarring. We’re constantly left in the dark, never told what’s happening, even when it directly impacts us. I hate it.
Any update
Does anyone know what’s going on today? Executives are all onsite and leaders have hinted to fires going on
I am confused about Partially Met
Can anyone please explain Partially Met and if it’s good or bad? I have gotten Partially Met two years in a row, even though my manager gave me the impression throughout last year that I was on track to Meet Expectations…I tried checking everything... — read more
Is this company going this same route

When should USAA just become a public company?
As the saying goes: "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck." If the company is going to betray everything it once stood for, hire executives from "peer" companies, why not just accept the... — read more

When is GCC opening in India?
With ongoing workforce reductions and increasingly restrictive H1B policies, a natural question arises: is the new ECIO considering establishing a Global Capability Center (GCC)? From a purely economic standpoint, the math is compelling —sometimes... — read more

I recommend people to put their bonus score, so we can collectively try to create transparency ourselves. I’ll start: CoSA: ERC Level: Senior Rating: ME Multiplier: 115%
Is Juan the president of Schooner Tuna??
Juan’s outreach to the Member about how USAA will make their dollar go further is laughable. The Bank pays sh-t interest, charges predatory rates on credit cards and loans, insurance is well into the highest range. This maudlin we well get you... — read more
Performance Review - Layoff
Does my performance review increase/decrease chances of being laid off?
So, are we basically looking at rolling layoffs through April?
We'll go crazy before this is over. Normally, I wouldn't care as much, I can't stand my job, but have you seen the unemployment numbers and job market lately?
Take the severance and RUN!!!
Those who were impacted at the end of January, take the money and run as far away as possible from this place!!! A lot of non member contact employees are going to be doing the work of 3 people once this reorg is complete. Like the agile... — read more
Quiet quit
Give USAA what it’s owed.
Rumor
Can anyone confirm if it’s true that Tuesday will be the 2nd round of layoffs hitting fraud this time? Mainly detection
Risk townhall - worst ever
What the heck was the purpose of it? Wasn’t the purpose to share CoSA scorecard or how we did in 2025? Why do we always talk about the future and not take a moment to reflect the success and failures of the prior year?!
Bank Ways of Working
What is happening with the Bank Ways of Working announced yesterday in the town hall? When are we getting more information?

I’m confused - bonus

All about "Intentionality"
Was the mobile app broken intentionally at the same time as the layoff, or was that serendipity? App Info says Android 10 or better. When try to run on 10, it says OS update required. Guess the guy who was supposed to update the App Info was let... — read more
Why did we stopped reporting scorecard?
USAA had the highest profit last year ($7.9 B) almost twice as much as last year. Almost 7.0B was in P&C alone. Based on the above earnings, ideally the company scorecard should be higher than at least 125%. The real driver of the high... — read more

Bonus and scorecard is a history! Can anyone share what bonus we are getting and how is it going to be fair to everyone? if my boss decides to give more to his favorite person at the team, that’s possible now.
