Is it possible to transfer internally if the hiring leader is ok with someone having a written warning? this person knows my team is a total joke especially the ones who can’t think for themselves

As someone who was laid off and has 10 years of USAA experience on their resume, it’s a death sentence on your resume. Other banks have no clue who you are. Other insurance companies know 1: we are a joke 2: if you were in bank, you’re not qualified.
Don’t let more than 2-3 years on you’re resume be at USAA
Agree, when I was working at USAA for about 3 years interviewed at JPMorgan the hiring manager was like "the insurance company??" they literally have no clue what this place is and I dont think even USAA knows what it wants to be.
Had to do a lot of convincing during that interview, still didnt get the job, I honestly think they were automatically turned off from having USAA "experience" on my resume.
Jump ship before it capsizes
Just resign, USAA is a sinking ship. Having more than 3 years on your resume with USAA on it is not helping anyone. I have heard at conferences that recruiters from Fortune companies are not impressed with USAA, and turning folks away. Run as fast as your little feet can take you. I WOULD NOT transfer internally even if the hiring manager wants you badly, this place is a sinking ship.
@ae - I fully agree here. The main-character energy here is staggering. Imagine being so fueled by ego that you think your whole team is a 'joke,' and you're the only genius in the building. Newsflash: if you're the only 'smart' person in every room, you're usually the problem. This absolute mo--n doesn't have a personality; they just have a fast track to being the person everyone muted on Slack.
Look, I’ve spent years in the HR trenches, and I’m giving it to you straight: a written warning isn't just a 'mean manager' thing—it’s an administrative headache that requires actual evidence and sign-offs from multiple people to make sure it sticks. If you’ve got one, there’s a paper trail, so take it seriously and work the correction plan if you actually want to keep the job. But let’s be real: based on your comments, you clearly despise your team. If you’ve reached the point where you think everyone around you is a 'joke,' why stay? Fu-k it and quit. Save yourself the high blood pressure and save them the headache; life is too short to be the captain of a ship you’re already trying to sink.
Geography check: Are you a pajama-wearing remote worker or a cubicle-dweller? That’s going to matter for your internal move more than the manager’s 'okay' will. Consider the written warning your 'Character Development Arc.' I’ve been the protagonist of that drama before—I self-reflected & adjusted my 'vibe' to match their 'expectations' and cleared my name. ER can be your friend.
I think if the hiring manager is ok with it then it’s ok hopefully someone with leadership role can answer that here
Be careful with a written warning. They can now escalate that to a final written on the same day, same week, for stupid reasons, in an effort to reduce severance packages. In other words, they are trying to force you out. Not as a tool for improving. Best to keep quiet. Plan your exit. File for fmla. Get out. This is a new policy that is implemented bank and PnC wide to create a one bank system. Cost effectiveness. They are not trying to improve you. Don’t post anything on slack. Don’t respond to emails. Not one word. HR are snakes. Rats. Make them pay you out. Or plan your escape.
Why are you asking here? If you already know, go and ask the hiring manager if they are okay with it.
