Scuttlebutt is that in June we'll see more layoffs. Anyone have reliable info abt the scope and nature of these layoffs, assuming they are actually happening? Thank you.

I know I'm in the minority here, but after WFH and realizing how much more productive I am because I have no distractions while getting several extra hours with my family because I don't have to commute, I don't want to go back. Some companies are... — read more 

Our department has now gotten the script for RTO, the earlier posts were dead on. It appears upper management is truly tone deaf and really doesn't care about opinions. You can be as candid as you want to be, as long as you stay in a very narrow... — read more 

Wayne and the BOD know that they have most employees by the ba--s. They know majority cannot afford to go looking for new remote jobs, and will use that as a fear monger, especially with the current job market. This isn’t the great resignation from... — read more 

Let your your voices be heard at the annual members meeting. Gain enough traction to force the board to remove Wayne as CEO to save face. It's a hard task, might be impossible since the board is just as incompetent. But it truly is the only way. All... — read more 

Now that RTO guidance was released, I see a lot of posts throughout the company of individuals asking about attrition, wondering why the company would go back on their word, all that good stuff. Let's be clear about a few things: Wayne and the... — read more 

Guess he would rather worry about RTO and not so much on paying nonstop fines for compliance. Employees are expected to do more with less, meanwhile they keep hiring leadership to support wayne. Why cant he do more with less!

As confirmed by a much earlier post here, the guidelines are as follows: If W@H status/remote before 4/1/21 or outside of 60 miles, will remain remote. All others will move to hybrid which is 3 days a week beginning in Sept. Starting Jan 1, 2024... — read more 

In our team meeting yesterday, our director said the company is going “all in” to enforce the 3 days RTO for the rest of the year and will shift to 4 days in office effective Jan 1 2024. Basically stated Wayne isn’t f’n around anymore and wants the... — read more 

I’ve read a lot of posts either saying “disconnect” from these sites or challenging motives or knowledge. If you’ve been on this side or Reddit: the accuracy is pretty on point. And genuinely, if this is causing you mental health issues, take a... — read more 

I’m seeing a lot of post about upset employees when it comes to remote and RTO, but no context is giving. What was said? Or what is the rumor going around?

This is the message that we need to get out there. They lied to their employees, they'll lie to their customers. USAA can no longer be trusted. If we can get that message out in mass this will come back and bite them in the a-s.

For now, my status seems very uncertain as to whether I will remain remote or not. What worries me is how much more susceptible those who remain remote will be to getting rid of them in the foreseeable future?

Not sure if anyone else was there or saw the recording but I was actually floored when Wayne pretty much made fun of remote workers saying they learned in the attack or basement. The attitude about workers in general was a joke and all I got out of... — read more 

It was so predictable that when they hired the likes of Mani Sulur and George S and Lesley Collins that they would bring their nonsense from Wells to USAA! Using the forced attrition with location strategy method is complete nonsense. There is a... — read more 

Word on the street is that the additional "guidance" on RTO that Wayne promised two weeks ago is coming out sometime today. And it likely won't be pretty. Mentally prepare yourself.

The example of RTO clearly shows how little trust this company has in its employees. On the other hand, perhaps the trust we have in the management of this company is even less?

Since USAA broke their own protocols and changed leadership from prior service to civilians and the association is moving backwards. We lost pride and the morale is down. Sad to see USAA heading in the wrong direction. This is one of the main... — read more 

The recent mandated RTO has not been enforced for all depts. Just ask anyone who works in the CFO office. Hybrid employees are being asked to be in office 3 days, but permanent work from home employees have been advised to continue working remotely... — read more 

There's chatter of more layoffs sometime soon. Is there anybody here who could tell us more about it?

Has anyone gotten a significant pay raise when being promoted from Sr. To Lead? Anything in the 40-50% range? Also which LOB as I’ve heard bank is better pay.

Anyone hear anything through the grapevine? I’m not located near any of the offices and was hired semi-recently as a fully remote tech employee. With the recent layoffs and RTO mandate, things seem dreadful and I feel pretty isolated from my... — read more 

I'm tired of worrying about what will happen to this company and how management's moves will affect its future. Why should we care about it more than those at the top who are paid to do so? Everyone should primarily think of themselves and... — read more

Having development conversation = layoff? Or is development a routine check-in topic this time of the year? Thank you.

Hopefully there wont be a huge layoff in June…

Isn't it obvious? This company has become a total mess.

I'm not EMG, nor do I have a fancy MBA. But it seems the easiest way to "cut costs" would be to close one (or more) of the regional offices that's barely being used, is having trouble hiring, and isn't a major "talent hub". It seems the solution is... — read more

All EMGs are now mandated into the office 4 days a week. If they are remote, they are mandated to be at AN office for 10 days a month, yet, USAA has banned all travel for 2023. Plus, there are tons of rumors flying around they are about to force a 5... — read more

Calling layoffs adjustments... What are they even trying to do? They are just raising the level of frustration here and nothing else.

USAA once again let go of some of the best people on our team. These people weren't just smart and driven, they were a blast to be around. This just proves that this company can't even recognize the amazing talent they have right in front of them... — read more
