It's not surprising that my colleagues don't put in much effort to at least try to keep their jobs - the severance pay is very good! In fact, I think that some of them might be even deliberately slacking off in order to get laid off!?
Class Action filed for eligibility rules
Not sure it will go anywhere but interesting that a federal class action was filed for how we split up our eligibility. Claiming it’s not fair to charge higher rates for lower paid ranks.
Selling the Bank
I would be interested in hearing from everyone about this. Let's say they sell the bank - still not everyone who works in bank risk management (i.e. AML) is automatically fired. For example JP Morgan who just bought a bank fired 1000 but kept 7000... — read more
WARN Notice
USAA filed a WARN notice for the layoffs on May 16th but did not file a notice for any of the layoffs in 2022 or before May 2023—any idea why this most recent layoff required a notice?
2023 layoffs
With the news of the huge bank reorg last week, and the bank DPM’s being let go. With the upcoming June layoffs fast approaching (sad we have to find out on this site before the company says anything), I think most bank areas will be safe from that... — read more
May / June Layoffs
From Fishbowl. 2 more layoffs before the end of June. No other info given.
It's just smoke and mirrors
How anyone is still proud of working here, I don’t know. Some of us waited for years to get an interview and hired only to find that what we thought was THE best employer to work for actually is just smoke and mirrors. I equate this to buying a car... — read more
For people who left, what motivated you to leave?
Joined early in my career, but not a fan of the leadership and RTO. Problem is, I’ve only ever worked at USAA my entire life, and am worried about being technically able to go through external interviews. I hate going into my job and there’s no... — read more
I want to sue
Is there a way to sue the company for what was said during the hiring process and then changed to the opposite within months of being hired? I left a decent remote job to start working here thinking I would remain remote. I know the answer is... — read more

A Message from Mr. Weacock
The beatdowns will continue until morale improves. Our beloved CEO hates your whining on this site and others.
There’s nothing ethical about USAA
And USAA recently won an award for one of the most “ethical” companies. What a crock! The way this place operates raises ethical questions at minimum. The company bold face lies about everything they say and do. They are deceptive, not transparent... — read more
Feeling nostalgic
I don't want to stay here anymore because this has become a joke of a company, but at the same time I'm quite nostalgic because it used to be really nice to work here. Do you remember the golden days? I'm trying to figure out how and when it all... — read more

Indifference to job
There is a life outside of this company. I am fully aware of that, however, until I manage to get a new job, I'm still trying to do my best and keep this job until I get a better offer… On the other hand, I get the impression that there are very... — read more
USAA RTO Participation Trophy

Not Russia
I get it. RTO stinks. Management stinks. The coffee stinks. But, you all realize that this is not Russia—you can leave at any time. If you feel that strong, leave. That will speak louder than some website post or quitting a slack channel or wearing... — read more
Leadership is causing chaos and lower productivity
Due to the forced RTO, we’re dealing with chaos and reduced productivity. Between turnover, not backfilling roles, interim directors, we’re being stretched too thin and the quality is really is starting to suffer. The environment leadership has... — read more
Follow The Example Of Wayne
If anyone is angry about the new RTO policy, my advice would be to follow the example set by Wayne. Wayne wants to send his underlings out to preach culture, them let's follow Wayne's example as a leader. Wayne took a 157% pay increase over the ONLY... — read more

Bed Bugs in Home Office
Yes I’m sure, I talked to a pest control guy who I asked what pesticide he was spreading around on peoples desks while they were gone. Do we not have a right to know what poison we might be in contact with? We’re being RTO’d in to a bed bug... — read more
Making us re-apply for our jobs?
Has anyone heard about this? Possible strategy of re-categorizing existing jobs as hybrid, requesting people currently in those jobs to re-apply, and thus forcing relocation or exit?
Wayne Lumbergh
"What's happening USAA employees? If you could go ahead and return to the office ASAP that'd be great. Oh and if we don't get enough mmm attrition by Labor Day, well we are going to have to lay off some folks with no severance...mmmkay."
Voluntary severance
Instead of having every employee living in fear of losing their job and wondering if it’s there area on the chopping block next. Why not just ask for X amount of volunteers and give them a full years salary as severance plus an additional 10% as a... — read more

Dismal market
If the market was better, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any good workers left here at all!? This company should feel lucky that the situation on the market is so tough.
Looks like 300 more were let go a cpl days ago

Amala made indirect comment about THE LAYOFF
She said people making comments internally and externally on sites
I don't mind being fired over this
I've said it before and I'll say it again, RTO that goes above two to three days a week maximum is a deal breaker for me. I have no intention of going back to the office for more than that ever again. I don't even care if that's exactly the plan here... — read more

ECIO Townhall Trainwreck
" Very thoughful questions " which we are not really going to answer. We will continue to be as vague and distant as we can be while making you believe that we care one bit about a single one of you, your exceptions, or concerns.
Wayne and the EC are snakes
Every single thing they tell you is laced with subtext, doublespeak, or blatant lies. They talk about going green, yet force every employee within 60 miles to put out needless carbon emissions so those same employees can sit on the same Zoom calls... — read more

No one should be shocked by the mismanagement you are currently witnessing at the highest levels at USAA. The $4.6B revenue swing from 2021 to 2022 is a colossal failure on top of the company losing $13B in net worth. That loss in net worth is... — read more
