Topics regarding layoffs at DXC Technology

It is strange to me that a colleague who has always been the biggest advocate that everyone should look for something better and get out of here, suddenly has a completely different attitude. I don’t know of such a case here, but I wonder what... — read more

Negative effects of a lack of training

Sometimes a young person who really has talent and a lot of energy and will to work, comes wondering in here. However, the first impression they get when they come to DXC is a disaster. It's a sink or swim situation here. I see new hires totally... — read more

The bare minimum?

It's about pay

As usual Mike's not listening. The highest voted questions were all relating to renumeration/pay yet he kept trying to say that's not the reason people are leaving. He knows it's the reason because he pays more to get external recruits. So his... — read more

The world must be full of cr---y employers

If DXC made it among the top 1,000 best employers in the world (yes, it's only in No. 604 but you can't tell me it even being on the list isn't suspicious) then the world is filled with incredibly cr---y employers. How does a company that underpays... — read more
