Topics regarding layoffs at USAA

Where is the Board?

All you have to do is skim the posts here, or on any other forum, or look at Pulse feedback, or listen to conversations around you when you’re in the office, and you know: things are terrible. Wayne and his yes men and women are driving this bus... — read more 

Explain to me like I'm stupid

(Because I sort of am) how the company lost billions of dollars Equibus paribus what sh---y decisions caused us to lose money when other similarly situated FI's made money or lost comparatively less?

Sinking ship

The leadership should be the ones thinking about that, but I'm curious what you think would stop or slow down the sinking of this company?

More layoffs coming

There are more layoffs planned in third and fourth quarters. If you want to keep your job, continue to suck up and stay busy. Outcomes aren't appreciated.

Culture

USAA Culture. Things observed and heard in 10 years. Couple of fine gentlemen loudly laughing about how they like to pull up to electric cars that have windows open and 'roll coal', flooring their diesel trucks to choke them with exhaust. ... — read more 

USAA is taking advantage of the dismal job market

Exploiting the fact that we are stuck here because of the dismal market and creating additional pressure on employees in order to squeeze them even more.... Isn't that a little lame even for this company?

New Leader on Deck

What are your thoughts on this. Again, love hearing about these changes externally don’t you??? Look at what all he’s in charge of. Think we will see some building decisions soon?... — read more 

The good thing about these layoffs and RTO

It woke me up. I used to believe this is a company that cares about its members and employees. USAA hides behind its "Mission" and supporting the military to justify lower wages, benefits disappearing, and expectation of extra work. Im... — read more 

Class Action Lawsuit?

For a while now, we were being promised more work. But none was forthcoming. Then they pull out the metrics to claim that a worker is not performing, and state to get off of the PIP, you have to improve the metrics. But how can this happen with no... — read more 

USAA has changed a lot

When one looks back at what this place used to be like, it seems that this is not even similar to the place it used to be?

Is it just me….

I’m noticing ALOT of positions opening through USAA that are offering much lower salaries for the positions that are already filled. Coincidence? I think not. #stormiscomin

Worried about life post-layoff :(

USAA is my first career, so I really have no frame of reference. I hear so much about how amazing the benefits are. The PTO policy here seems unmatched, same with the 401k policy. I’ve also heard the job market is awful right now. Can anyone soothe... — read more 

Managers at this place are clueless

They don't care about offering competitive salaries to attract smart, talented folks. No wonder the majority of the intelligent people with options up and leave for greener pastures elsewhere. It's like shooting ourselves in the foot and then trying... — read more 

AML Will be gutted

This Department will be slashed. So many bodies were hired and thrown at the consent order, causing a 30 to 40% overage of resources. Yes some were sent to Fraud to assist but the real cuts are yet to come. So if you are in AML (Detections/Invest)... — read more 

Will the EMG/C-Suite stay for a long time?

1 of the worst things at USAA has been the change from great military leaders to failed bank leaders and people who leave every 2 years after outsourcing. I do love USAA and I was thinking of sticking with it until those “leaders” leave, but unsure... — read more 

What areas affected?

Just left USAA (voluntarily) a few months ago. What areas have been hit by layoffs? Can’t believe WP got such a big raise…but who’s really surprised? He must have pics of someone on the Board to get (and keep) the CEO job. He screws up everything he... — read more 

Email about job duties

If anyone received an email to describe your job duties, that is NOT a good thing, especially if it comes after a re-org. That occurred in my previous area last July and 3 weeks later an entire team of business process consultants were given 60 days... — read more 

Done with USAA

I'm tired of working my a-s off for substandard pay and ridiculous benefits. I was going to wait to be laid off but I can't. I got an offer and while it's more responsibilities, at least I will be paid adequately for what I'm going to be doing. I... — read more 

Working in fear

If employees have to constantly think about becoming out of work, has the leadership given any thought to how this affects productivity? Or maybe they don't even care? I can't focus at all on things I have to do.

PnC IT - Assured by Amala...

... according to my boss that no further layoffs were coming. Well, maybe no more in IT but not other depts? Not sure. But that was the last info I got.

How Management Hides the Numbers

It’s the last day of the pay period, and you know what that means! Announcements that people have “found other opportunities outside USAA and today is their last day” when what really happened is they were laid off but USAA is trying to avoid media... — read more 

Bank IT missing from go/orgview

Is there anyone that may know why all of Chris Stewart’s org in bank is now missing from go/orgview? Is it simply a coincidence or are changes happening (ie. Moving back to ECIO)?!

More layoffs in June/july

Was in a meeting earlier today and was told compliance partners will have lay offs scheduled June/July. Also heard business risk and control teams will be getting cut but unclear on when. What trying times this is :(

Layoffs will continue

We can all expect the inevitable arrival of further job cuts. It's laughable to believe that layoffs at USAA will ever stop. It's truly pathetic witnessing those who assume they're shielded during the lulls between major rounds. The concept of safety... — read more 

Peacock Meltdown!

While in PHX, apparently Wayne had a MAJOR angry meltdown during the Q&A portion of a meeting. Leadership was later instructed not to speak of it and there remains no video. Anyone have the details? Inquiring minds want to know!

Imagine taking a job based on promises

Only to get told everything you were hired for now doesnt exists (rto, promotion opportunities) then having the weasel managers secretly monitor your every activity so they can find a way to get rid of you. USAA really did su---r a lot of workers in... — read more 

Knowledge transfer

Management continually insults my team by performing assessments on what we do, how we do it and if the task has value or is needed. The insult is not because of the questioning, but them hiding behind an excuse of “I want to learn”. My apologies... — read more 

A years severance?

I would love to believe this is true for anyone who’s laid off. But I’m thinking this would be more for someone who’s tenured with USAA and not certain individuals who’s got hired a year or two ago. If it is, then lay me off asap lol, been here less... — read more 

RTO...Just a Distraction

RTO is being used as a multi-purpose we-pon at USAA. Many employees might think that RTO is being implemented because Wayne sees empty parking garages. That is not the case. RTO is being implanted for two reasons: Severance-free attrition ... — read more 

Is the plan to do smaller layoffs every month?

There’s been layoffs of hundreds of people every month. Is there a rhyme or reason to this? If anything, they should wait to see who leaves via RTO, but they’re just doing layoffs, reorgs, and reducing morale. They’re also getting rid of die-hard... — read more 

Possible senior layoffs???

So there was more interest in what seniors do in particular how much time and aspects of our role and how we do it. Do I smell another round of layoffs now targeting seniors? Not sure but sounds pretty evident

Time for Mani and others to go

Mani is the worst leader I have ever seen. It is time for him and other former Wells Fargo leaders to go. Why would we hire these leaders that didn’t accomplish anything at Wells? They keep getting in trouble over there and some was under their... — read more
