Hijacking IP space
Hi. Has anyone else heard the rumour that CSC, after selling off its net 20 IP space, is illegally hanging onto IP addresses it no longer rightfully owns?
Scraping the bottom of the barrel
So we're now being asked to "honor the spirit and letter" of DXC's new more draconian travel restrictions. These new restrictions not only limit flying for business purposes, but also apply a blanket ban on catering for all internal meetings, and... — read more

US No Waiver to sign?
DXC is not requiring WFR employees to sign a waiver. This was standard for HPE WFR. Anyone have any insight on this? For me lack of this signed waiver postponed my ability to collect unemployment. Thanks DXC!

Revenge
Just as IBM did with LEAN and McKinsey previously, HP/HPE/EDS/CSC/DXC/McKinsey is creating thousands and thousands of enemies. Not all of us end up being a door greeter at Walmart; many move on to other IT and technology jobs often with managerial... — read more
