EDAO Meeting - flat as a pancake

This is a monthly meeting held for people to voice concerns to upper management, who really don't even pretend to care anymore. One person was brave enough to point out process flaws and lack of management participation in readouts, only to get a... — read more 

Started outsourcing

Changed password and had to contact tech support. Normally tech support experience has been done with Usaa employees, but was surprised that it’s been outsourced. It took 3x slower than normal and not efficient. One shouldn’t be on call for over an... — 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...

Then words mean nothing. Jon Snow said this when he refused to take a vow to a leader he did not believe in. USAA just lost more than $1.3B. They just lost.more than the $12B+ valuation. They have lost their reputation. Their words mean nothing... — read more 

The grass is greener folks!

I know USAA has many kool-aid drinkers, many who believe the company can do no bad because we “know what it means to serve.” I left in May for WaFd Bank, same job function (credit cards) higher salary and fully remote! Yes folks, if you want a fully... — read more 

I AM A MEMBER

So I worked at USAA for 12 years, but I have been a member for 47 years because my father was a military officer. So as a member, I would like to know how I can communicate with the board of directors without having to go through the a-s hats at... — read more 

FTE Work From Home

Keep slobbering on the peacock. I will fi d another job where I don't have to su-k on objects to stay employed.

P&C Department

Get ready for managers to most likely be even angrier and take their cr-p out on you even more.. apparently they’re going to start taking calls. It’s going to be through the directory for escalations. So now the work from home managers that don’t do... — read more 

It won't be surprising if they start to overwhelm us even more

It wouldn't surprise me at all. If the manager already doesn't know when enough is enough, then we can expect them to start being even more unrealistic with their demands, right? That is, until eventually burned-out employees end up quitting.

RUN.

Run and run quickly. USAA is not the same company anymore. Those of you who drank the kool-aide need to snap out of it. I left abruptly a few weeks ago for a better opportunity and I thank myself every day that I made that decision. At this point the... — read more 

Jumped the Burning Ship

BURNING SHIP USAA I finally did it... This place has changed so much and it’s just living he-l to work there now. I was one of the top performers in the DISTRICT… at least thats what I was fed by my manager… I was treated so differently when my... — read more 

Loving this comment

"The Managers enacting these tactics are people who cannot find great jobs. And they will be shredded in the very same machine they are currently feeding."

I got fired from USAA in May

This is a pretty long story and I contemplated for a few weeks if I should share but thankfully at this point, I was able to find a new job quickly so here goes. I started at USAA in summer of 2021 during the worker bo-m. I was at my previous firm... — read more 

“Silent layoffs”

Anyone else cross train in detections?

Think they are setting you up for failure. I just started cross training in detections and weent through a few days trining and already got fails from qa for the most stupidest reason….

PIPs are not good.

"I've literally worked in HR for a Fortune 500. I'm telling all of you as a matter of fu----g FACT that PIPs are not meant to be completed. HR even tells managers when they want to fire someone "okay, put them on a PIP and start collecting... — read more 

VPN

Did anyone else notice logging in from the office does show VPN anymore? I am thinking they are about to start tracking in office work by how we are logged in. I know other banks doing this. I am thinking they are about to crack down on the people... — read more 

USAA Long-Term Survival Plan

Just be like that AVP that was the emcee for the 101st Birthday Celebration. If you read this profile on Connect for this piece of executive trash, he "created" the position he is in. So while people who do actual work are laid off, this talentless... — read more

You will be lined up for failure.

Be aware. Take care of yourself and your future. When the quota and numbers come from above they won’t take care of you. When it’s about to rain bring your umbrella.

What if I just don’t go in?

So I live within the 60 mile radius but it would be almost two hours a day commuting which I refuse to do. I’ve heard vague comments about it affecting my performance but I don’t fully understand the consequences of not going in and I can’t get a... — read more 

Q2 Check Ins

Q2 coming up in the next few weeks. The grapevine is saying Directors/Managers are being pushed to call out low and average performers and put them on PIPs. If true, going to make Q3 and Q4 interesting as far as staffing goes. Interesting way to get... — read more 

Aren’t we overdue for an employee meeting?

Seems like it’s been quite a while since the last one but maybe I’m just losing it. Can’t wait to have more smoke blown up our a-s about how great the company is while morale continues to tailspin.

Too much silence

From last couple of days I am seeing too much silence in my team.. even very less folks join the scrum. Something fishy !

Hybrid Postings!!

They really need to stop being so damn misleading in the hiring process. They lied to so many of us with bait and switch. Now, they are posting roles as hybrid. I am sorry but 4 days in the office is not a hybrid role.

Salary negotiation

I'm curious how many of those who were rehired managed to negotiate a bigger salary? I doubt that many of them did because I believe that only those who did not find any alternative in the meantime returned here.

Take My Advice

Don't give USAA 100% of your effort. This company doesn't deserve it. USAA used to deserve 100% of your effort. The folks that calls themselves senior executive leadership now give zero respect to employees and deserve zero respect in return. I have... — read more 

"If I'm Going To Be A Partner In A Law Firm... "

I can't help it! There are so many terrific quotes from Legally Blonde that applies now. "If I'm Going To Be A Partner In A Law Firm...I Need A Boyfriend Who's Not Such A Complete Bonehead." If I am going to be the best engineer that I know that I... — read more 

Can this be true?

They are also reaching out to employees who previously left USAA and offering them positions as they are laying people off. Wrap your head around that. I just read this in one of the older posts and I can't believe it. Can this really be happening?... — read more 

Worst CHRO USAA has ever had, or worst CHRO ever?

Many posts here say bad things about Wayne. Most are true and he deserves all of them. But he never hit his full strength until Tamla. With her to activate all his evil plans USAA went from not caring about employees to trying hard to scr-w them... — read more
