When I left you could order whatever gear you needed via SmartBuy. Never went through DXC gear as the page was indefinitely blanked out for me. All you needed was a WBS & either a catalogue item or a quote from a supplier to get kit.
What changed with UK on call / overtime?
Left last year but keep hearing people say there's been a change in the UK side to on call / overtime policy. What's the issue here? I heard their MIM team are now being told by leads "being short staffed isnt justification for overtime" but is this... — read more

During the Q1 earnings call, Mike Salvino highlighted that while our transformation journey is creating value for our customers and colleagues, we have had shortfalls in the quarter and did not deliver on our global financial targets. In Q2, we are... — read more
Leadership changes make zero sense
Reviewing the leadership page, some very strange moves. New leader of applications was the strategy guy New function customer success was the AMS regional guy No regional leads for AMS or EMEA even listed. Do they just make this up every Monday... — read more
Appraisal acknowledgement
When do the managers return our appraisals for employee acknowledgment? We are now almost into May, and it’s very quiet.
Secure account data backed up overseas
Yes that’s right, people are told to backup their laptops using Onedrive. If you queried it with your manager and said it breaks policy as the backup is not retained in the UK staff are told to do it anyway as they would be the one in trouble if... — read more
Don't bash UK networks
Why are people bashing the UK networks guys? Fair their terms are probably better than others but that's not their fault its the company's treating most employees like trash. At least they came in on their AT&T T&Cs My experience on BAE is that the... — read more

Approaching May what's the news on Pay??
This company is a joke, we are past the end of the year, they are expecting people to work hard and deliver but there's no talk about pay raises in any meeting. Your not going to get any positivity or growth working this way, keeping folks in the... — read more
Questions about Latitude Finacial
FYI not a DXC employee. Apparently DXC was not handeling Cyber security for Latitude Finacial so how was a DXC account able to acess information held by other GSI? Presumably this happened on Vinod Bagals watch. Any idea if this is why he was... — read more
Since discussions aren’t about layoffs , let me add my issue
What’s with all the useless Dell contractors , who can’t get anything done on time and within budget ? Why don’t we have internal DXC staff do the work ?

DXC sponsored Charleston Open
Way to go!
How does DXC make a loss?
I’m 100% sure 80% of the resources are L2-L3 booking to L4 & L5 roles. Which means the client funds a L4 or L5 role at 45-65k but DXC have someone on 25-30k fulfilling the role. This is rife on ALL accounts. That’s why you see kids doing senior... — read more
No good hires
When's the last time you can remember somebody qualified and experienced joined DXC? All the new people either have no idea what they're doing despite being in the industry for years or they have zero experience and it's on the rest of us to teach... — read more
Death & illness on the BAE account
Without naming names (ive noticed posts that explicitly name anyone who isnt a publicly listed exec tend to disappear) this account seems to have the highest illness / fatality rate I've ever seen At least 2-3 people I've been aware having passed... — read more
BAE time booking fraud
Again I reiterate, this is the Ponzi fraud I spoke of a few days ago. If every guy and his dog books time to BAE how is the account going to make any money. No wonder you don’t get pay rises. It’s a ploy to sc--w you guys over. Pay new starters... — read more
Fraduluent billing to BAE on UK accounts

Were DXC responsible for the Latitude Financial data breach?
Let’s see how long this thread lasts. I think yes, skeleton staff, probably Grads or apprentices shoehorned into L5 senior roles probably let the soap bar drop. What do you guys think? Vote Up for DXC responsible, down for client.
What happened to the CISO Email thread?
The mystery over the reasons behind the email deepens if someone in DXC goes so far as to remove a thread about it on this site. I wonder if we will ever discover why the sudden panic?
8 million fine SHOCKER NOT
When is DXC going to learn layoffs to generate profit is not the same is actually making $$$ through profit. Same racket they have pulling for years
After $8M penalty I would expect...

DXC as a stepping stone
I feel like I'm wasting my time here. I wonder if DXC was at least a good stepping stone for most people here?

Reposting because the original disappeared. I don't know why as most of this is public knowledge and I don't owe either company anything. Stop deleting the posts dude. Basically around 2019-2020 a short bit into the HP ES merger (bearing in mind... — read more
UK grads / apprentices - take note
