I’ve been hearing from my manager that they’ll probably alter RTO guidelines based on feedback; however, how likely is that to happen?

Which offices would close down and when would they? Most of the Plano companies near USAA pay 20-40% higher and have a more relaxed RTO policy, so can imagine high attrition, but they’re still demanding RTO and saying that USAA “culture” is the reason to stay and be underpaid by that much.
And Chesapeake and CO have less people, so can see that
Wayne is not going to change his commanders intent on RTO. That being said… They are still going to close offices because the reality of the situation is that most employees are not going to RTO as ordered. Buildings cost money and USAA is still supplementing Sodexo large dollars each month to have the cafes open. Employees are not concerned with taking a hit on their yearly evaluations to not go into the office. If you want to show that you do not support RTO, then do not show up to upcoming large USAA events at the offices. Show them they wasted money. Wasting money does not look good at the EC level. Especially when Wayne is involved in the events.
Sorry forgot the link but it looks like Farmers employees are fighting back! https://www.businessinsider.com/insurance-ceo-changes-remote-policy-employees-threaten-quit-unionize-report-2023-6
Well Farmers could be backing down....
Why would you think WP is going to leave in the next 12-18 months? Word has it he told Jim S. he planned to be running the place (into the ground- my words) for 6 years before he left. Sad day when we lost the hope of having Syring as our true leader.
That’s a big NO on that. Wayne’s ego is way too big to rollback on that decision. But, when he’s out as CEO in the next 12-18 months, maybe the next CEO will care about morale and care about what the employees want, and possibly make hybrid 2 days in office.
It’s not going to happen so either get with the program or find somewhere else to work. It’s as simple as that.
I don't think there is any way Wayne's ego will let him walk back the 4 day a week RTO expectation next year.
Isn’t that why Jamie Warder was let go as bank President back in 2016?
@1lxl+1mYtL7mE, that's one way to incentivize RTO! LMAO! Hanky panky in the break rooms all day, every day! Now we know what it means to serve!
Well this chat certainly went completely another direction really fast lol.

I slept with my director, it lasted about a year. No one had a clue, we kept it so secretive, we only did 1 thing while at work, and it was in the parking garage, other than that, it was either at her place or mine. Then she left for Wells Fargo, and I eventually left to Frost Bank.
USAA is just like any other company now. You want a raise? You want to work remote? You better hope you are a hot female and you cab deal with f%%%ing the first person in your chain of command that has a Director title. It's how I survived on AD for 6 years and how my career has been stable at USAA.
Unlikely but I think it will partly depend upon what the rest of the insurance and banking industry is doing. If USAA can't hire quality people they may be forced to lighten up, but since most other peer companies are back in the office I doubt USAA will feel the need.
Not likely at all.
They’re making RTO part of our job performance, and Wayne wants the buildings at full capacity, he wants the Joe Robles treatment when walking the halls, and he’s not going to get it. So easing up on RTO, not under Wayne, maybe the next CEO will do it to improve morale.
Narcissist dont listen to feedback. So i doubt it.
Most days everything we bring up is responded to with "deal with it" so I doubt it!
get back in your cagie wagie, we dont pay you to think!
Nope, ya just gotta collaborate with the culture!!!!
They are increasing to 4 days in January. Why would you think they would pull back?
