My plan is to quiet quit in the office so I can grab one last juicy Christmas bonus and yearly bonus in February. Thanks Wayne!
Boycott Town Halls
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will get under the skin of leadership than to know the entire building is filled to the brim with employees RTO and to see Robles auditorium half empty. Can you imagine how bad it would irk these narcissists? Seriously... — read more
False Promises at USAA
UsAA executive leadership has told employees that there is a form to file exceptions so you can be allowed more flexibility for remote work. That web page and specifically the form have been non-functional this week since being released on Monday... — read more

Rapid shift this week. Direction to review teams with bloated salaries. Holding leaders accountable. PME, PIP, early retire, remove role, remove entire teams of high salary employees/teams (reduced bonus & merit). Massive reduction in Leads across... — read more
As expected, RTO makes the execs "feel good"
The edao town hall today pretty much said it all, Ramnik is way out of touch with the general workface. He likes the "energy" of everyone in the building, employees' feelings, feedback and thoughts be damned. It's not data driven at all, it's about... — read more
is credit card safe from layoffs?
anyone heard anything if retail banking, especially credit card safe from layoffs? Leaders sounded not to have a definitive answer and keep saying they're trying to cut the costs across in order to prevent any layoffs.
AML next in line for layoffs?
I keep seeing rumors that AML will be the next area to be impacted by layoffs. Normally I don't pay attention to rumors but so far the ones I've seen on here have been spot on. Does anyone have details about this? I heard that the area is way... — read more
Hireright background checks
Apparently, there is a large portion of people that will be subjected to background checks (employment, criminal, education and credit) coming up and every 3 years there after. They really are just building excuses to get rid of people for any... — read more
Expanding Eligibility Again
My EMG confirmed yesterday that in recent strategic planning sessions it was confirmed that we are expanding eligibility again next year. Wayne even eluded to that in Q4 Employee Meeting. Does anyone have details on what that? I'm concerned about... — read more
Taking responsibility is necessary
Okay, they can blame inflation or supply chain woes, but the problem is that this leadership never realizes some of its own mistakes that had a negative impact on the company. If they don't admit to their mistakes, how will things get better here?... — read more
CEO and EC Issue
Wayne will continue to fail as long as he continues to say and believe that “the most important people in USAA are the VP’s and above.” Wayne and the Executive Council are disconnected from the USAA way, employees, and reality. Some of the most... — read more
There is no reason to mandate a return to the office
I'm a manager. I have found no issues with remote work over the past several years. I have noticed that my team appreciates the additional personal time more than anything. I believe that individuals who are unproductive while working from home are... — read more
Titanic 2
Wayne demands we do more with less while he gives himself a 157% pay raise and he does less for more. What he’s going to end up with is that do the bare minimum, leak information to members and regulators, and sit back with a bag of popcorn to watch... — read more
Thank you for the heads up!
I just want to take a moment to thank the person that has been sharing, what has consistently turned out to be accurate information, about the layoffs specifically. I've seen this person ( maybe more than one? ) comment three times and every time -... — read more
How much longer will the Board allow this captain to sink the ship?
USAA is a sinking ship and Wayne is the captain. How Wayne has been able to remain CEO for this long in the midst of this dumpster fire he's leading is beyond me. Are all of USAA's issues his fault? Of course not, but Wayne knows how to play the game... — read more
Take a stand against Forced RTO!
There's really only 3 ways to deal with the forced RTO. We can either comply, find another job, or dont comply (ignore it) and see what they do. Sure there will be some enforcement, and probably some performance threats/impacts, however by complying... — read more
Something has got to give....
USAA this week posted its first annual loss since 1923, blaming a challenging economic environment, including inflation, continued supply chain woes, labor disruptions and rising interest rates. The insurance and financial services giant reported a... — read more
A company in a downward spiral
It's sad what this company has turned into. How did this place come to be the way it is? What caused the most damage?
Luna vs. USAA
I saw a news article that USAA says “Luna” is the most popular pet name for dogs and cats. Well a google hunt lead me to an interesting lawsuit involving a Luna vs. USAA. Older age discrimination case by an older claims employee who was terminated... — read more
Mani is the worst
CRO org is completely dysfunctional
Black on Tuesday
As a silent protest and a gesture of “F you” to Wayne, since Tuesday seems to be the day most everyone goes into office, we should wear black that day along on the days of the employee meeting. Whether it’s a black shirt, black pants, black headband... — read more
They don't care
The departure of some people who were never replaced has had a big impact on me and my work. However, the manager is not interested in the fact that I am now in a very unenviable situation because my work has become much more difficult. He is only... — read more
Record Loss: Let’s rack up A/C & electricity bills
After it’s first annual loss in 100 years, let’s act like sears & kodak and not adopt to 21st century technologies. Let’s bring everyone back into the office and bring strain onto resources (cleaning, A/C, security, water, electricity) Genius — read more

https://www.expressnews.com/business/article/usaa2022report-18000277.php?utm_campaign=premiummysa_breakingnews_20230502&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email Explains forced attrition, not Wayne's big Ole pay raise.
May 29
"By May 29, leaders will determine which NMC roles/teams will receive an exception to remain remote" So they are going to ask entire teams to RTO even if some of the team is over 60 miles away?
Compliance Impacts?
Not sure if anyone heard when the axe will start to swing ?! Feel like something is brewing anyone know ?

Culture
Culture and attitude reflect leadership. The "lost culture" EMG is citing as the main reason for RTO has nothing to do with WFH. If anything collaboration has been stronger and more effective. The Culture has been destroyed by repeated poor decisions... — read more
Good Has Gone Bad
Remember when USAA used to be ranked as one of the best employers in the nation. I'd entertain your thoughts as to why it's changed.
fight RTO
It's important for employees to come together and take action in order to improve their situation in the workplace. Simply complaining won't bring about the necessary changes. Writing negative reviews on sites like Glassdoor and deice, candid... — read more
Mortgage
Looking at the daily YoY applications and current loans funded YTD, I don’t see how we are going to make it to the current funding goal. Any news of another round of layoffs in mortgage coming soon?
Remote jobs
I see that people here write that there are many remote jobs offered out there. Have you tried getting such a job? I think it's almost mission impossible considering the number of candidates applying for these positions.
Time To Unionize?
Laid off, Forced RTO/attrition? Maybe it’s time to use the time we have left to give Wayne the gift that keeps on giving… an employee union. Maybe it’s time to turn the Wayne’s anti-worker sentiment into Wayne’s fast track departure. Wayne takes... — read more

Tampa RTO
Saw a post on “The Post” from a fellow Tampa bank employee, stating everyone is excited to be back and all smiles. Uhhh, stop lying please. I hate being back in office and I’m not the only one who has expressed that. I’m also on the 3rd floor and I’m... — read more
USAA-FARGO
This company has become run by pi-s poor leadership who's intent is to send all jobs to India. They seem to think they’re going to drive productivity by forced RTO. Instead they’re going to wind up with a bunch of mentally checked out employees who... — read more
