I feel awful when I start thinking about how much this place has been ruined by terrible leadership.
We are less and less competitive, it's as if they don't care about competitiveness at all anymore?

I totally agree. We do need military leader, ship and charge. Once again there are many many highly trained individuals that served that can assist and completely handle financial institutions.
"It’s time for USAA to have MILITARY (generals/admirals) presence back in critical C-suite roles. For the military by military."
This is one of the reasons we're in the regulatory s**t we are in...because we had folks that didn't fully understand how to run a bank in a way that doesn't bring the full weight of the US gov't down on you. Having a MG as the Chief of Staff is a good move if Wayne is willing to listen to his advice. It is possible to have effective civilian leadership in an organization that serves the military.

To @1lvb+1n6g4ULj, that’s what happens when Wayne, in an effort to find people who will do whatever he tells them no matter how ridiculous, risky, or unethical, hires rejects, has beens, and never will bes to fill out his EC. Tamla? Worst CHRO ever. Neraj? What a joke. Amala? Don’t get me started.
When you couple ineffective or inexperienced leadership with a refusal to treat people with enough respect that they want to stay, you have crazy turnover and are constantly retraining new people. USAA brings in people at the mid-level who fix the problems and then runs them off so these “leaders” in Wayne’s corrupt EC can hand the work back to the very same crew that messed it up in the first place. And then we do it again.
I can only speak for the banking/finance aspect of things as my experience hasn't been in insurance but within the finance world, USAA is a joke. It's actually a liability to bring someone over from USAA into a SIB since everything they learned there is wrong and puts their would be employer at risk. Their compliance departments are a joke
