In the last layoffs, noticed that people who were openly critiquing RTO and other decisions were laid off.
Reasons of being fired
A coworker got fired. We were told via email then a short meeting, and nothing was disclosed. He was pretty good at his job and we liked him. It’s very surprising that he was fired. Anyone knows what could be the reasons of someone being fired at... — read more
The layoff here worked out for the best
I think I would have left USAA by now anyway if I hadn't been laid off in the meantime because I couldn't bear that kind of stress anymore. I don't believe that there are many who are not better off since leaving here... Support to everyone who... — read more
How long has it been taking you to get a new role in this market?
Want to leave, but it’s been much more difficult to do so - the interviews are more in depth for IT and I’m very behind technology-wise, which is why I’ve been at usaa for 5+ years.
Anyone here counting down to September 5th?
You know it's going to be such a glorious day of rapture!!! The execs will greet us all with raging woodies, salivating over the upcoming jumps in productivity. They will be so so happy that they will want to see us an extra day in 2024. Ok, dream... — read more

Being smart at this place is a liability
Sounds like you are too smart for USAA. 10 years ago, maybe even 5 years ago, you would have progressed quickly, and your skills would have been utilized to enhance and improve the work and member experience. But now, in the new USAA, you considered... — read more

Who would volunteer to be laid off?
I wouldn't be surprised if there were more of those who would rather volunteer to be laid off than those who would like to keep their jobs here. However, I do not believe that we will have this as an option because the company would be left... — read more
Is it worth working at USAA in Plano?
Almost at the year-mark in the Plano office and employees are resigning with RTO. I kept hearing when Executives came earlier in the week that they want to make USAA an IT hub in Plano. However, the salary is legitimately 20-40% lower than other... — read more
Use USAA while you still can
Before our reputation catches up to us, USAA is still an asset on your resume. This is the best time to start sending out applications and take advantage of that while you can. You don’t want to get to a point where USAA is as toxic on your resume as... — read more
Do they want to get remote workers out?
Had a talk with manager and told that there's no opportunity for advancement. I also got a lower rating than I normally would. I'm working 50+ hour weeks and have been here for 10+ years, but that doesn't matter since I'm remote. It's insulting and... — read more

USAA Layoff July 2023

Bonus decrease.
Sooooo, I was setting up some things in my profile and found that it was showing a 10% bonus for positions now and not 15%. So i checked it against random positions and found they all said 10%.
Leaders Hiring their own folks - Remote allowed?
Well, aint that special. How is that J. Cherry can hire someone from Regions and make them her direct report as a "project manager" and in a remote position? this is so unethical
Big disappointment
Every time I hear rumors about layoffs, I am disappointed primarily because I know that all the effort I invested here is not really important if they decide to get rid of me. How does a person fell who's worked hard while knowing that he shares... — read more
Thanks for the unnecessary stress/anxiety USAA!

Intern Review: The Mirage of a "Great Place to Work"
My internship experience at USAA proved to be a stark contrast to their claim of being a "Great Place to Work." Transparency was sorely lacking within the company, as important decisions were made behind closed doors, leaving employees in the... — read more

If 2023 is another loss
If it’s announced next year that 2023 was another loss for the company, there is no possibility that Wayne keeps his job, right!?!
When Enough People Make False Promises...
