At least…

At least there was severance provided. So many employees this year got fired for cause (so no benefits no severance not eligible for unemployment). Does the company su-k for this? Certainly. Will they repost our same jobs for 80% less in 6 months. 💯. Take your severance and run. This bank is a sinking ship.

PTO Payout for Displaced is Early and Short?

My non-working notice ends 2/6 but I noticed on upcoming pay slip dated for 1/30 they paid some of my PTO (60 hours). I had 100 hours left when I was displaced in December, and thought I'd accumulate January/February as well. Should I expect another PTO pay out or did something get miscalculated? Everything thread I've seen on this topic mentioned getting PTO payout after your non-working notice ends but I'm seeing it before my notice ends and it's short. Thanks in advance!


The USAA "Loyalty" Lobby: A Post-Mortem

So, the mothership over at USAA finally decided to "loyal" me right out the door. It’s funny, I spent 26 years hearing about "service and sacrifice," I just didn't realize my entire livelihood was the burnt offering for the CEO’s year-end bonus. 🫡💸

Since I'm now a free agent (and by that, I mean I’m officially over-qualified and under-severanced), here’s my guide to the USAA wreckage:

  • The "Remote" Bait-and-Switch: I was hired as a remote employee—a role defined by pajamas and productivity. Then, in a fit of "culture-building" (read: real estate tax breaks), they decided I needed to waste 15 hours a week in San Antonio traffic to sit in a beige box four days a week. Nothing says "innovation" like forcing people into a 1990s office layout to do Zoom calls with people in the next building. 🚗⛽️
  • The Automated Betrayal: I’m honestly surprised my layoff notice didn't come with a pre-approved, high-interest personal loan to cover my final month of rent. "We're nuking your career, but have you considered our award-winning insurance for the house you're about to lose?" It’s not just a layoff; it’s a cross-selling opportunity. 📉
  • Core Values (For Direct Reports Only): I’ve been meditating on "Integrity" while looking at my final pay stub. Turns out, "Service" is a one-way street that ends abruptly at the executive suite. They talk about "The Mission" like it's a calling, then treat the workforce like a line item on a spreadsheet that needed to be deleted to make the "Military City USA" branding look a bit shinier. 🧐
  • The LinkedIn "Synergy" Trap: My new job title is "Recovering Corporate Martyr." I am officially allergic to any company that uses the word "family" as a smokescreen for "we will fire you via a template email if the wind blows sideways." 🏢
  • The Commute-to-Couch Pipeline: I’ve traded the "Business Casual for the Cubicle Farm" look for "Professional Resentment." The commute from my bed to the kitchen is much shorter, and unlike the office, my kitchen doesn't require a badge-in to prove I'm "collaborating" with my toaster.
    To my fellow survivors: May your severance be fat, your non-competes be laughed out of court, and your next boss be someone who doesn't think "culture" is synonymous with "parking lot congestion." See you at the virtual happy hour—where the only thing "bundled" is our collective trauma! 🍻✨

Layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026???

Any truth behind a previous post that claim that layoffs will commence the December 19,2025 - January 30,2026? We are entering the final 3 days of this supposed truth about when layoffs are happening and nothing major has happened. With the stock getting ready to dip below $40 is it possible layoffs could happen sometime soon?

What I Should Have Done

I was laid off a while back. I really messed up during my layoff meeting.
I had enough service time to get the maximum severance and had kind of seen it coming and had taken steps to prepare for the next chapter of my career. So I was more or less going to be ok.
All the same it was upsetting and I let them see how upset I was, which was exactly the response they wanted.
I should have just laughed in their faces and walked out.


Cowboys from (D)He-l

They failed to pay my last salary. I left Dell on my own terms and they haven’t made the last salary payment. Never could I ever imagine I’d have to start a debt collection process against one of the richest companies in the world!

For those that are being WFRd, please check your payments and check that taxes are paid correctly.

Unfairness of PepsiCo Employees

It really makes me mad that you have some PepsiCo employees who work really hard, get no recognition and/or they get laid off. Then you have those PepsiCo employees who are constantly on their cell phones, Facebook, etc. Get off your phones/Facebook people!! You’re being paid to do a job not to express your political opinions, etc., during work hours!!!
