where’s the genius posting weekly that AML is about to have layoffs - after AGAIN - for the 12 time in a row - not having layoffs. “Mr. Shut Up” should be the only reply to that person who keeps posting their propaganda. Additionally, this is the... — read more
Nice Christmas gift USAA!
Nothing says USAA cares like handing out 60 day notices to a little over 200 people, just days before the holiday season begins. The 60 days ends right after Christmas (12/28). And of course our dear bank President Mike Mo--n, makes things even... — read more
It started!
Bank layoffs. Data & Analytics hit (again and again). Not sure about others.
@USAA is getting trashed on x.com for hiring so many H1Bs
Go to x.com and search for @usaa and click "Latest" at the top and have a look, lots to look at, at least 3 whistle blowers have come forward providing information about whats going on at USAA to the public. It looks like Navy Federal is doing the... — read more
Praying to be laid off
USAA went from being a decent to a horrible place to work in the last few years. I'm ready to move on, and it'd be even better if they paid me to do so.
If USAA is wrecking your mental health, leave
Nobody deserves to feel miserable every day. Go find somewhere that treats you like a person, not a robot.
Who decides on layoffs?
With the number of layoffs since 2022, does anyone know how or who selects the people or areas that get hit? Is it HR? Earlier this year when a girl on my team was notified, our ED said she didn’t know until that morning and my director said he... — read more
Are we paying attention to FRED -REPO Ops Market? why are banks frantically sell off Treasury bonds and Mortgages?
Are we paying attention to FRED - why are banks frantically sell off Treasury bonds and Mortgages? Banks are saying they have a capital and liquidity issue. They are selling off all their bonds (like taking your gold and diamonds to a pawn shop)... — read more
USAA is a sinking Titanic. Get out when you can
I know this post will hurt some feelings but be practical. Think about your future and your dependents future and start looking out first a job before you and your team gets layed off.
Dictatorship in rise- Juan Andrade
"I dont need an executive council" screams arrogance, maybe he can make all the decisions himself but it usually ends in disaster. Every smart leader needs smart people around them.
Employee meeting
What a total bore fest… What the heck were these people even saying?????
More layoffs this month
I've heard more rumors about layoffs continuing throughout the month. What are the chances that's not true? I'm so exhausted from layoffs that I could use at least some time not to have to worry 24/7.
Who’s in charge?
I thought a number of EVPs transitioned out of USAA and some other leaders were promoted. But the website seems to still have old info. Have the changes not happened yet?
I asked ChatGPT to predict the next USAA layoff and the response is pretty good!
It’s just for fun: “If USAA does plan a major layoff, it is most likely to occur before the end of 2025, perhaps in late Q4 2025 (October–December), as part of restructuring under the new CEO’s agenda.” It also talks about if there’s someone does... — read more
Layoffs today
Anyone know or hear who was impacted?
Leads should be invited to the Leadership Meeting (Oct 8)
My Director mentioned that there’s a leadership meeting on October 8th same day as the October Employee Meeting. Only Directors and above are included in the leadership meeting. This is unfair to the Lead level. Leads are Leaders without direct... — read more
What We Deserve
It's become so clear from this forum that we all hate each other and cannot agree to collectively take action on anything. This place has become so miserable over the last few years I'm actively rooting for Juan to announce the end of remote at... — read more
9/30 Layoffs?
The last day before Christmas bonus cutoff. Will there be layoffs?
Unlimited PTO coming?
Companies in the death throes of trying to stay solvent by cutting expenses often turn to Unlimited PTO as a cost saver. You don’t accumulate PTO, so it never needs to be paid if you leave. Rather, every PTO day becomes a negotiation with your... — read more
IT CIO
Looks like Ramnik is in for the long haul. Get your white shirts out. Learn to work with Deloitte (DoLittle). His buddies from Deloitte are circling the wagon. The CTO team will be the first impact. Bank and P&C next. The sinking ship is sinking... — read more
Fraud layoffs
So anyone got any insight for layoffs in fraud? Ive been hearing rumors that it’ll be bye bye bfcc 👀😮💨
Did I just get fired?
Did anyone else not get the email from Juan? Just curious if I'm fired because I will need to update my resume
Does USAA hire any data engineers/analysts who dont need sponsorship? All I see if H1B sponsored internal hires ?
There have been hardly any senior or lead positions open in the data space. Even if something is posted, looks like they are mostly labor filing related openings and you get a response back that you do not meet the expectations. No calls no nothing... — read more
You do realize the new H1B rule will just speed up offshoring?
There’s nothing stopping companies from moving every offshorable job overseas. This policy isn’t about keeping jobs onshore.

Let’s sc--w over experienced and older employees
I was laid off a couple weeks ago. I can still login because of my 60 days. It is a kick in the nuts to see they have already onboarded several consultants to cover our work and then see postings go out for more junior roles on my old team. It... — read more
Company Loyalty is a joke
What you have with your employer is a business relationship and not emotional. So stop using words like company loyalty, work family, corporate culture and other BS. The more loyal you are to the company the more you will get hurt when they clip you... — read more
No, we're not all in this together
Our managers love to say that we’re all in this together while handing out more work to already heavily overworked people. It’s like that old joke about the beatings continuing until morale improves. At some point you just have to laugh or you’ll end... — read more
Rumor: Upcoming layoffs in Fraud department
There’s a heavy feeling of dread and uncertainty in the fraud call center. Employees are posting out to other jobs or going out on leave. Directors and upper leadership are silent but we know they must notice what’s going on too. I hate to feed into... — read more
Spouses on same team ? Lay off or no?
How is the ethically allowed to have two leadership positions on same team occupied by a husband and wife team? Is this even allowed who would permit this?
“presentation design designer”
I saw an internal job posting today for what’s basically an executive PowerPoint maker. I think the top end of the posted salary was in the 180K range. They can’t get an admin or intern with ChatGPT to do that work? This company is cooked.
IT changes in works
ETA is in 2 weeks. Hold on there cowboys
Juan’s crony Clyde is incompetent, claims team struggled under his leadership
Zortman, Fargo...clowns. couldn't swallow their pride that they selected Wayne and extended his contract. Then, to cover it up, Wayne lies that it was his choice to leave. Until you clear out the incompetence in the BoD, you'll keep getting subpar... — read more
Is anybody getting interviews?
I don’t even know how many applications I’ve sent out so far, and all I’m getting is crickets.
The constant threat of layoffs combined with shifting expectations is exhausting
I swear, one day your role is critical, and the next you’re suddenly behind on metrics no one properly explained. With layoffs always looming, it’s even more stressful to deal with. I don’t know how much longer I can take this and protect my mental... — read more
They are going through our accounts
People are being fired left and right for filing insurance claims from years ago or filing fraud dispute. I just got fired this morning for fraud due to excessive dispute claims (I had 3 in the last 8 years). Subsequently they went through my... — read more
Marketing Layoffs
Management hasn't said or done anything to indicate layoffs in Marketing are over. That probably means there will be layoffs. I have no evidence they will, but I'm preparing.
Completely over it after four years
Four years here is what it took for me to be done. The toll this place takes isn’t worth the paycheck anymore. I dread logging in every single day, and I can’t imagine ever feeling any different. The whole system is built to grind people down until... — read more
Resume Advice After Receiving 60-Day Notice
