So now that DXC opened the new office in New Orleans and has employed (or plans to employ) 2,000, how long before it starts laying off half of them? I give it six months, a year at the most. I really hope those new employees researched the company... — read more

Remember that Mikey wants his pension to be in place and completed by 2020 so he can retire without a care in the world. Note to DXC spies watching this website: why not do weekly layoffs? That means Mikey would get rid of more people quicker!
