"Enhanced" PTO is more forced attrition
The powers that be have cooked up another forced attrition scheme. "Enhanced" PTO (time is accrued monthly rather than front loaded) will cause enough unrest that dissatisfied employees will undoubtedly leave. Add that to the 4 days a week in office... — read more

I'm so tired of RTO
Every day I come into the office is a huge waste of my time and energy. It's destroying my mental health and my ability to work. Having to block out 3 conversations while trying to focus is driving me insane
PTO allocates monthly in 2024 now? This is enhanced benefits?
So, apparently, now PTO is allocated monthly. It’s almost like a guide on how to just make people feel worse. My friends companies rarely even have this. It’s so shameful how they keep saying things are enhanced or better when they just take more... — read more
Any good news?
Can we be positive for once? Start Monday off with something good?
Hypothetically speaking what would happen if a remote employed moved states without updating information
if you're fully remote could you relocate to a different state without permission?
USAA please get your sh-t together
And stop f-kn over your employees every opportunity you get! Enough of the deceptive spin on benefits! Most of those “enhancements” are very limited in audience, or not costing USAA anything! Student loan repayment, so you’re offering me the option... — read more
How is there not a class action lawsuit against this place?

Several execs in NBVI got their 60 day notice last week; their last day is Nov 18th. Other areas in P&C were impacted as well. That is consistent with USAA's pattern as the last day for the group previous was Sept 18th... Hopefully this is it for... — read more

Anyone else know about this before today? https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/privacy/data-breach/usaa-class-action-claims-thousands-affected-by-data-breach/
USAA is using bots to manipulate the voting on this website
Crazy to me they care so much about the upvotes on a small website like this, how bad is this company failing internally?
Is USAA just a money grab for executives at this point?
