Topics regarding layoffs at DXC Technology

I am terribly frustrated by such advice

Even on this forum I have seen tips like “do only bare minimum” or “let the others do the donkey work”. It's disgusting! These selfish people don't even take into consideration that someone has to get the work done and that their colleagues will... — read more 

Where is the Mike Screamer playbook?

Dxc seem to me to be very different from country to country business unit to business unit client to client and every other group client project seemed better than mine. Dxc would be hiring for one group but firing in another. This didn't make sense... — read more 

DXC ....too big to fail?

Been out of DXC for a couple of years now (DXC ANZ) so decided to check out this forum to see if things have changed. Unsurprisingly not much has changed at all. Key concerns are still lack of pay rises, revenue going backwards and good people... — read more 

Screamer claims can't make margin ...

...like MNC TCS beciof computer room real estate. Digital realty and others making profits opening and running data centers, why can't DXC?

I am still here because I am close to retirement

Just a little over two years is not much until retirement. I'm still here because I don't believe that I would manage to find another job that would suit me better, but yes, I often wonder whether it might be worth the risk to leave now. How close... — read more 

The forward game

Don't say "its not my job", play the foward game and send/forward and email on to someone else. If everyone who recieves teh email plays the same game, there will be loads of forwarded emails all giving the impression that everyone is trying their... — read more 

Don't call it a pay increase

I'm tired of hearing people saying they got a 1 or 2 percent pay increase. The inflation is four to eight times that. You didn't get a raise. Your pay went down. What you got is an insult meant to placate you and you're buying it! Unless your pay... — read more 

It was worth a try

I thought it would be much harder for me to find a new job because of my age. I sent a huge number of applications, there was no response for months. When I thought I would have to stay here for a while longer, I got an offer - almost 35% higher... — read more 

Trauma

I'v been out of DXC for three years now, and a work colleague recently resigned from where I work now to go pursue his more specialized ambitions elsewhere. I didn't feel jealous. I didn't feel envious. I didn't have a longing in my heart wishing... — read more 

Platform DXC / PDXC / Platform X

Does anyone know where this is being successfully used, in a meaningful way? Feels like it's been talked about for years but I don't know of any significant use of it. Is it a real thing being used well or just slideware?

That's not my job

I used to be puzzled by people who just say It’s not my job when you ask them about something. How many times did you hear that? I used to hate that kind of behavior, but now I say that same thing myself. The reason is very simple, no one... — read more 

Pay raises getting ridiculous

Just had an email from my energy supplier and the bill is going up 45% from April. My food shopping has gone up massively, and fuel for the car has shot up, all this on top of taxes being hiked from April. Everyone else is giving raises to soften... — read more 

I am waiting for raise announcement

I keep hoping we will get a raise soon, but it looks like we will have to wait a long time for that thanks to the leadership that doesn’t care how their hard working employees live. It's a real shame.

Don't trust recruiters

I made that mistake. Make sure you request copies of the company policy for each perk they mentioned while trying to hook you in the recruiting phase. If they give you a simple document just with those things listed, don't accept it. Ask for official... — read more

Inflation of Execs

Inflation has reached the Exec Board! Adding a president, one more exec. Now the pile up to 21. https://dxc.com/us/en/about-us/newsroom/press-releases/03072022 Seems DXC needs a townhall meeting when Salvino invites the DXC Executive Leadership... — read more 

I'm completely burned out

They kept adding more and more work and now I'm at the point where I can't do half of it because of burnout. My productivity has halved. I don't even care. If they want to fire me, they can do it. I'm so tired all the time that getting my life back... — read more 

Exiting Russia, laying off 4,000 staff there?

https://dxc.com/us/en/about-us/newsroom/press-releases/03042022 "we are no longer pursuing business in Russia and have committed to exit this market. We have approximately 4,000 colleagues in Russia" Sounds like 4,000 Russian employees are getting... — read more 

Share Buy-Back

According to Screamer 1.0 (atleast Lawrie never shouted publicly in town halls), $1Billion has been set aside for shares buy-back. That is approximately 30million shares. Let us see how long will this financial engineering to kerp the stock afloat... — read more 

Properly staffed teams

From what I can see, there are no more properly staffed teams at DXC. The lucky ones are only missing a few people, the unlucky ones have to work with bare bones, but there's nobody who can say they have all the people they need. The company found a... — read more 

Worst townhall ever, and that's a tall order

First, Salvino rants about people not using their full names to ask questions when only one person had not provided their surname at that point. Second he gets outraged, and refers to questions as horrible and terrible that are fair questions. (And... — read more 

DXC, start investing more in your employees!

It is not possible to expect that we will invest our time, talents, energy and the very best of ourselves in DXC, if the leadership does not invest a little more in its employees. Instead of making it their priority it seems to me that this is the... — read more

Reputation is very bad

I have noticed that even those who do not have much talent do not want to come here anymore. What happened to the reputation of this company? Once a reputation is ruined, it is mostly irreparable damage. I’m no longer even sure if DXC can do... — read more

DXC Sign Removed from Urban Center Building in Tampa

After nearly four years since the stench of DXC’s angry pumpkin replaced the awesomeness of a company brand that it would later successfully destroy, it too met its fate this month by no longer dirtying a part of the Tampa, FL skyline. ... — read more

DXC company is on the mend, as is profit growth.

DXC Technology's top and bottom lines have been steadily shrinking since 2018, and that's not going to change this year. But shares have also lost ground in step with that contraction. This sets the stage for a recovery in the stock's price should... — read more

Help yourselves, don't wait for the company to help you

You have been with DXC for several years, you most likely earn below market value, you are giving it your all, and you are still here despite not getting a pay increase since you started. Management now knows full well that if any of that was a... — read more

Sinking so fast

The natural decline will continue due to lack of strategic choices, reckless hiring, and failure to change in a fast-changing market. In the past two years, DXC has been saying what they hope the outcome will be (seize the market, take care of... — read more

Are raises an annual thing here?

I'm relatively new here and I was told when joining that I would be receiving a merit raise every year but going through posts on this forum it seems that might not be true. I've seen people claim they haven't received a raise in five years or more... — read more 

Losing good employees, losing customers

I'm pretty sure DXC is rapidly losing its best employees, but what about its customers? Is it losing them just as fast? My personal opinion is that they cannot be satisfied if the employees are not satisfied and if this company no longer has a... — read more

Is DXC still active in the UK

I asked a question in a Town Hall last fall about the UK business being sold off. I was told that my question was 'blocked' due to ongoing negotiations. Since then all of my contacts on the British Govt Healthcare account have disappeared. So have my... — read more 

January is nearly done, yet no layoffs

I'm starting to think that all the people who threatened to leave did go through with their plans (attrition is certainly worse than ever in my neck of the woods) and now the leadership is in panic mode trying to find people to replace at least some... — read more 

New Man Utd sponsor?

I’ve seen on a couple of news reports that DXC will sponsor a small part of the Man Utd shirt next season on the arm. What do people make of that? I’d be interested to know how much they’re paying
