USAA lured in folks from other companies with the promise of fully remote positions only to renege on those promises and then say "welp, too bad". Aamazing anyone would still want to continue working for such a place. SAD! Even worse is the id--ts... — read more
Third round of layoffs?
Do we think there will be another round of layoffs in 2023 and if so when? Last year they had another batch in August.
Sinking fast
Started at USAA well over a decade ago. It was a company I dreamed of working for. It was HARD to get an interview. I felt like I hit the lotto. The mission was amazing and I was here amazed at the culture. Made myself stand out just by my work... — read more
My call went to India, and that's when I knew
As a 22-year member of USAA, I am so sorry to hear of the layoffs happening at this once-great company. I submitted an Auto Claim last week, and the first indication was the claims website had an error. I called yesterday, and my call went to... — read more
Layoffs happened in AML SLOD
Super weird meeting where the head honcho was reading from a script telling us that people got laid off in AML SLOD. No names or teams were shared in that meeting, to protect the innocent. No chit chat, just straight to the script, and ended the call... — read more
Is Mani gone or what
It starts from the top and that’s the problem
Dispute layoffs
Whole team just got laid off. In disputes. Stated they are cutting our roles.
No trust at all
This has become a horrible workplace. After so many terrible leadership moves, I have absolutely no confidence that they know what they are doing. Does anyone trust them anymore? I doubt it.

Whoa!!!!! PnC leaders just got notices!! More layoffs
Heard from a couple of friends PnC leaders got layoff notices today. True?
Crying Bank Teller
Does anyone remember the first RTO meeting in early 2022 when there was a bank teller crying about having to WFH and was so happy to RTO? I heard Wayne promoted her to be an EVP right after that performance.
How are you being notified?
No word about layoffs in my group as of yet. How are notifications arriving? Is it an email, 1 on 1, or something else?
Wayne’s response
We all worked in office pre-covid! Yeah, and pre-covid we didn’t have record high inflation and gas prices weren’t this high either. So, instead of being a leader in the industry, he is being a follower by saying other companies are RTO. The mission... — read more
5/16 Layoffs
Thinking about everyone today at USAA. Mark yourself “safe” or “impacted” from today’s events and your areas. I haven’t heard anything myself yet and I’m in the Bank. No news is good news.
How did we get here
Here's a repost from EJS-like site: This might be a good time for a history lesson. I’ve been at usaa for more than 10 years in P&C Claims. I can’t remember exactly what position Wayne had when I started but it was Executive Director level or higher... — read more
Tank the pulse surveys
It will not impact our bonus per Wayne today but it will impact leaderships Do it u chickens
Managing by fear
I can't wait to get out of here. Management seems to be reduced to exploiting employees' fear of losing their jobs. Do they know how to manage in some other way? It's disgusting.
ECIO All Hands On
Thoughts?
Fired or laid off
Can people who decide to completely ignore RTO be fired or will they be laid off? There's a huge difference between being dismissed without anything and being laid off with severance. If it's the latter, I'd be more than willing to take that risk... — read more
Tamla - The Empty Suit CHRO
It appears that Tamla likes to have HR folks come on this board to censor posts associated with her name. I wonder if Wayne or the BoD are aware of how she is wasting company resources doing that. So I will keep posting messages like this and links... — read more
Forbes USAA best bank, Employees may feel different
https://www.ksat.com/news/2019/03/06/forbes-names-usaa-best-bank-in-country/?outputType=amp Employees may feel different Forbes should use anonymous forums like this before making a decision
Hearing Layoff Chatter for Next Week
I’ve had multiple, credible sources tell me to expect more layoffs early next week. Anyone else? My management has said more layoffs are on the horizon.
Censoring posts on here now
HR must be in damage control mode since this site keeps deleting posts. How pathetic
Bob Davis Is THRILLED!!!!
He won't go down inhistory as the worst executive at USAA. Wayne and Tamla are currently fighting for that title. Who would have though that USAA could.have hired a senior executive worse than Bob Davis. The current BoD said..."Hold my beer. It's Bud... — read more
Quiet Quitting While RTO At USAA
My plan is to quiet quit in the office so I can grab one last juicy Christmas bonus and yearly bonus in February. Thanks Wayne!
Boycott Town Halls
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will get under the skin of leadership than to know the entire building is filled to the brim with employees RTO and to see Robles auditorium half empty. Can you imagine how bad it would irk these narcissists? Seriously... — read more
False Promises at USAA
UsAA executive leadership has told employees that there is a form to file exceptions so you can be allowed more flexibility for remote work. That web page and specifically the form have been non-functional this week since being released on Monday... — read more
New RTO Requirements
New RTO requirements are in the works including moving the 4 day RTO date to earlier in 2023. Additional requirements and changes are being discussed by Wayne and Tamla. The information has started to be discussed with EMG.
In Focus: Team Salary vs. Size & Value
Rapid shift this week. Direction to review teams with bloated salaries. Holding leaders accountable. PME, PIP, early retire, remove role, remove entire teams of high salary employees/teams (reduced bonus & merit). Massive reduction in Leads across... — read more
As expected, RTO makes the execs "feel good"
The edao town hall today pretty much said it all, Ramnik is way out of touch with the general workface. He likes the "energy" of everyone in the building, employees' feelings, feedback and thoughts be damned. It's not data driven at all, it's about... — read more
is credit card safe from layoffs?
anyone heard anything if retail banking, especially credit card safe from layoffs? Leaders sounded not to have a definitive answer and keep saying they're trying to cut the costs across in order to prevent any layoffs.
AML next in line for layoffs?
I keep seeing rumors that AML will be the next area to be impacted by layoffs. Normally I don't pay attention to rumors but so far the ones I've seen on here have been spot on. Does anyone have details about this? I heard that the area is way... — read more
Hireright background checks
Apparently, there is a large portion of people that will be subjected to background checks (employment, criminal, education and credit) coming up and every 3 years there after. They really are just building excuses to get rid of people for any... — read more
Expanding Eligibility Again
My EMG confirmed yesterday that in recent strategic planning sessions it was confirmed that we are expanding eligibility again next year. Wayne even eluded to that in Q4 Employee Meeting. Does anyone have details on what that? I'm concerned about... — read more
Taking responsibility is necessary
Okay, they can blame inflation or supply chain woes, but the problem is that this leadership never realizes some of its own mistakes that had a negative impact on the company. If they don't admit to their mistakes, how will things get better here?... — read more
CEO and EC Issue
Wayne will continue to fail as long as he continues to say and believe that “the most important people in USAA are the VP’s and above.” Wayne and the Executive Council are disconnected from the USAA way, employees, and reality. Some of the most... — read more
There is no reason to mandate a return to the office
I'm a manager. I have found no issues with remote work over the past several years. I have noticed that my team appreciates the additional personal time more than anything. I believe that individuals who are unproductive while working from home are... — read more
Titanic 2
Wayne demands we do more with less while he gives himself a 157% pay raise and he does less for more. What he’s going to end up with is that do the bare minimum, leak information to members and regulators, and sit back with a bag of popcorn to watch... — read more
Thank you for the heads up!
I just want to take a moment to thank the person that has been sharing, what has consistently turned out to be accurate information, about the layoffs specifically. I've seen this person ( maybe more than one? ) comment three times and every time -... — read more
