Heard from the India team that Muhi Majzoub was in India last week. In a meeting with employees and presence of HR, he basically dropped hints that layoffs are coming down the pipeline soon.
Sounds like salary hikes are definitely getting delayed or might not even happen at all. On top of that, they're fast-tracking performance reviews right now to flag low performers before making the cuts.
Anyone got more details on this?
Though not for good reasons. I guess this is as close to relevance as they can get these days though.

Zero or paltry raises for employees while executives gorge themselves and continually inflate their compensation year over year.
Thoughts on yearly self review. Is it pointless? We have been told no raises again, so is it to continue to weed employees out. Not new to Oracle 13 years some great, some awful. Just trying to pay my bills while looking for something new.. Peace and love.
So it's SMB now and we're sc--wed. New title and responsibilities, no OT and no raise. Enough already, time to quiet quit.
No opportunity for progression and no pay raises. Thats the whole point of working right?
The job is mind numbingly boring, it drains the life out of you and opportunities are limited to a select few.
The people are great but that’s the only benefit, it’s good to gain experience but don’t stay here for the long term, the only positive on the overall situation is that everyone is in the same boat.
Hemsley - please note: received no raise, while your compensation increased. That delta's super to acept.
I have been with the company for more than a nine yrs, and it is soooo frustrating to see long-term employees treated as though their contributions do not matter. Many of us have lost confidence in management's ability to lead effectively. Repeating the same scripted remarks every quarter does not address the real issue, and employees are tired of hearing it.
People want fair pay, not more corporate language. If compensation does not improve, the company risks losing experienced employees who have carried this business for years.
It is discouraging to see reports that we received nothng while the stock price rises. That only reinforces the perception that leadership is rewarding itself while ignoring the people doing the work.
With the Employee rises of 0% settled for another year its time for the Execs to take their big haul again. Internally DXC give the message that things are bad and they can't afford pay rises, on the Results calls they say all is going great and then go and take their rises. They always take raises at the beginning of the fiscal year, leaving employees at the end of the year. Del bean even goes as far as saying money has been budgeted for employees this year, then the money then evaporates i guess into the dodgy Execs accounts.
DXC Execs are one big lie, Will they get raises this year, whats your guess?
No raises this year
Only pizza
Something has shifted over the last few years, and it’s hard to ignore.
I’ve never really felt like I worked for DXC — my focus has always been on doing right by the client and delivering a good outcome. But recently, it feels like we’re neither wanted, respected, nor trusted to do the job we’re here for. Work is withheld or second-guessed at every step, with everything needing detailed oversight. It’s draining, and it doesn’t exactly inspire anyone to go the extra mile.
That lack of trust is one thing, but when it’s paired with years of a 0% pay rise policy, it becomes even harder to stay motivated.
People often say financial reward is only part of a job — and that’s true. But right now, there’s very little else to balance it out. There’s no real sense of job satisfaction, no recognition when something is done well, and often not even a simple “thank you.” It increasingly feels like the expectation is that having a job should be enough in itself.
For me, that balance has tipped. What used to be tolerable — even enjoyable at times — has turned into something I genuinely dislike. The disconnect is such that it’s hard to care whether projects succeed or fail, especially when accountability can so easily be shifted elsewhere — to a missed detail, a PM oversight, or yet another broken process that makes delivery unnecessarily difficult.
It raises a bigger question: how sustainable is this? Because from where I’m sitting, it doesn’t feel like something that can continue for much longer, and I will be happy to see it collapse.
No wonder things are falling apart at the seams.
The UK's largest police force has awarded DXC Technology a contract worth up to £1 billion to develop and run a host of business process outsourcing services – including building a new Oracle ERP system.
The management said UK was doing not so good so no no payrises, and then a few days later they announce a $1.4 billion deal.
Heavy work, broken tech, bad managers, tiny raises. Insurance keeps getting worse. Basic tasks take all day. Sales and customers dropping, no vision. It's a mess.
again, that it was a record breaking year last year and is so proud of all the hard work we put in to make that happen...
Meanwhile, managers are given a tiny amount of money for raises and bonus's to spread around to 20 people. Some of whom got nothing, while others got a crumb.
I know we all got an email saying the same stuff from JC and MD this year but then our orgs President has the ba--s to reiterate all of that, again?!
How exactly, is anyone supposed to give two flying FUggs about doing work, doing extra work, going above and beyond, taking on projects, etc... when it's not reflecting in our paychecks, pockets yet, the company did GREAT last year?
Then, we get minimal raises due to a "tight budget" and 90% bonus? And no, this was not just me. This was my ENTIRE team, which is quite small. Can't tell you what because it'd give me away but, we are on the other side of Dell corporate.
The budgets are in. Salary increases are unimpressive. RSU allotments are a complete joke. Don't worry, though, the least inspiring CEO of all time is getting paid plenty for his tip-top layoff skills.
.....because no-one gets a pay rise...
2 years in, transfer agency. Mass exodus last year, still not recovered. Division feels held together with tape.
No raises year one across the board. Carried the team year two, trained every new hire, de facto team lead. Review came back as a 2/5, no raise, no promotion, nothing. Actively crafting my escape plan.
How is anyone actually surviving this place?
For those sensible enough to miss this, it was an hour of “John Smith, Fred Bloggs, Mavis Fritter…… all doing a fantastic job”. Next account, same script. Never knew there were so many accounts!
Nothing about pay reviews. Apparently everyone (except a few in Ireland) are all working above and beyond, so message from Captain DA was to work harder so he can get a few more DXC gilets. No Q&A as everyone knew what the topic would be.
I’m stuck in a three-layer sandwich—Sr. Director, Director, and AD. Sr. Director seems calm and confident, but the Director and AD are all over the place. Priorities change almost every hour, so the team is constantly scrambling and redoing work.
We’re getting pulled in 10 different directions at once, including being pushed to work on things that don’t even seem relevant anymore. It’s honestly a pretty chaotic and frustrating environment.
And the worst part—there’s no escape. Hardly any internal roles are opening up within Verizon right now.
I need to pay the bills. But I'm not going to bust my a-s for a paycheck. Everything else is an insult to our intelligence. Forget promotions or a decent raise. They work you as hard as they can get away with, and then kick you to the curb. So, as far as I'm concerned - no overtime, no hard work, and I couldn't care less about outcomes. Passable coasting is all I'm willing to do until a better opportunity comes along.
Anyone see the disclosures of the C suite pay? Some notes
Meanwhile everyone else gets a 3% bump tops, 20% no raises and they actually wonder why trust in the MC is low? Kinda funny actually.

I am so sick of the absolutely toxic disgusting leaders that work here. I just spoke with my manager and I got 0 for my yearly raise, and only a minor stock bump. I am working harder than I ever have, and yet all they ask for is more. Is anyone else planning on quiet quitting? Why should I strive for excellent when my pay is mediocre?
Looking back, my biggest increase here still was ridiculously low. And that's when I got a raise. I often wonder why I stay, and then I remember the state of the job market.
This company lays off folks all the time. No reason other than the company isn't meeting their targets. Management team has no loyalty at all to long time, good employees. Even half the HR team including the CPO was canned recently.
And don't get me started. There are no merit increases. And they give you a 401k match but it's funded only once a year. In September 2025 you get your 2024 match. Cool, huh?
No hikes in near future. AI assisted coding but results in work extension. Where is motivation, everyone has limit. But I feel they will put on track with structured layoffs.
Don't know when, hearing ratings gathered, restructuring in progress. Anytime soon in couple of months
I'm curious what my raise will be this year considering that my group was moved to a director who has been MIA for the last year - minus his 5-7 minute 1x1s with everyone. No clue what we actually do, no idea what each individual does. The only info he gets is from our previous manager - our PM now - and I suppose and hope new manager dictates raises based off of old manager...
Not expecting anything great but hoping for a 4% lmfao. LIkely it'll be a meaningless 3.2 but I guess that'll offset some taxes...
I mean, what's the actual point in being a hard worker if your manager is never around, promotions are MIA and ultimately primarily given to those outside the USA? Or the fact that raises aren't even above inflation rates?
I love my job but cmon, I might as well do the bare minimum if promotions are essentially impossible to get and raises are laughable lol.
What Dell has done for me in working for them for over a decade is realize I never want a job again where I need to “be innovated”, “find new solutions”, “help with testing”, “create processes” or anything “above and beyond”. Because that has been what I have done for over a decade and all it has gotten me is more work, more stress, less time, higher expectations of what one person can manage, extreme burn out, stress, depression, health issues, and anxiety.
It’s never gotten me a promotion, a raise beyond the 5% max annually. It’s always more more more more more on what is expected of me with zero benefit to me. Other than to have a job at a place that doesn’t value its employees.
Whenever this Dell he-l comes to an end I will look for a job where I come in do my job and go home. The way they are continuing to do business is clearly to cause mental harm to their employees to try to force them to leave. It’s shameful to MD, JC, and all the higher ups for not caring about their actual employees and just carrying about the millions of dollars that they managed to make for themselves every year at the cost of others health, wellness, and finances.
So many resignations. Looks like the 0% raises are having the desired effect. I for one am applying and trying to leave. What are you doing?
People are just maintaining status quo. No one willing to contribute out of box in fear of No recognition, No salary hikes or promotions.
I get we're not rolling in the bucks but are your teams getting the usual 3% increases? My manager hinted not to expect anything unless you were a 5 or on a visible deal. Are we prepping for RIF 2.0 or just my team isn't getting raises this year
I had my annual performance review yesterday morning.
I had 6 goals last year.
I got a 4 on 5 of them and a 5 on 1 of them.
I got a 3 overall and thus no raise and my bonus was greatly reduced from what I would have gotten had I gotten a 4 overall.
Make it make sense!
Throughout the year, I was consistently told that I was exceeding expectations and performing at a high level. My feedback conversations reflected strong performance and meaningful contributions to the team.
However, during my annual review, I received a rating of 3 and was informed that I would not be receiving a raise. This outcome did not align with the feedback I received throughout the year.
Additionally, compensation decisions were not determined by my direct supervisor, who has firsthand knowledge of my day-to-day performance. Instead, they were made by a VP who has only been with the team for a short period of time and has not had the opportunity to fully understand individual contributions.
I have also learned that colleagues who previously received ratings of 5 were given ratings of 2 this year and were subsequently written up, without prior warning that their performance was considered below expectations. All of these evaluation and compensation decisions were made by the same VP.
2% annual raise AND a 5 day RTO?
This place never fails to amaze me lol 😂
The lowest raise possible even after exceeding expectations, buying a new bank, record profits, and an ATH stock market price… literally RUN if you think of staying or applying here.
Oh and I get to use that raise for the new parking garage fees :) bill u sly dog u…
Anyone who had no meaningful raise (except one year after Covid) for ten years? Please share your salary growth in 10 years, 20 years
33% are doing the minimum waiting for the axe hoping for severance
33% are doing the minimum waiting to retire
33% are barely doing the minimum waiting to see whether they got another job.
the other 1% work because they dont know any better.
No raises...everyone fired every other Tuesday...zero chance of being promoted or getting exceeds...of course people are skating...there is no incentive to row the boat on a sinking ship.
For years...
No Raises.
No Promotions.
Increased health costs.
No recognition.
They could afford to take care of their people better!
The stock is down 34% in a year and 65% over five years. Meanwhile, inside the company, we’ve lived through constant restructures: minimal pay rises, responsibility changes, de-levelling, demotions, removal of ratings, mass exits, elimination of People Partners and leader support systems — all under the banner of “transformation.”
Experienced talent keeps leaving. The people who knew how things worked are gone. Morale has taken hit after hit.
At the same time, the company has spent multi-millions over the past three years on external consultants to define strategy and redesign the operating model. As employees, it’s fair to ask: what has that delivered? Because from where we sit, strategy keeps shifting, products are launched with big promises and then fade away, and priorities change before anything has time to succeed.
Now we have a portfolio/solution structure that many are still trying to understand and explain consistently. That lack of clarity shows up with clients.
It feels like the people in the middle — managers, delivery leaders, client teams — are absorbing the impact of decisions made far above them.
This isn’t bitterness. Many of us care deeply about this company and want it to succeed.
But at some point, accountability has to apply at the top too - something should be done - the CEO, CPO, CFO, CCO all need a change in career.
