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 raise is higher than the inflation rate, please stop calling it a raise.

About a year ago I left and with right at a 30% increase in pay. Today I found out I'm getting a 2% increase along with the past year bonus in the 5 digits. The grass is greener but you have to be picky and confident. Don't sell yourself short.

"Mike2, why don't you just F off and let a decent and sane person take over this company?
Either that or try to be a decent human being and show care for your employees by giving them a decent remuneration rise up to the rate of inflation or maybe a little more."
It's too late. Mike L started doing serious damage with his endless cuts. Maybe if Mike 2 had stopped cutting the moment he took over he would have been able to salvage something decent. But he carried on cutting, carried on losing good staff, carried on destroying DXC's reputation with clients. There aren't many clients left now, and DXC will be struggling to win new ones.
The only way is down, so Mike S is going to carry on massaging the numbers to boost his personal income for as long as he can, while he watches the ship slowly sinking. At the same time, he's telling staff and shareholders that the ship isn't really sinking at all, it's just taking on a more streamlined look that's lower to the water. Sooner or later, everyone will realise that it's just a big pile of steaming BS and the company no longer has any value.
If you work there, you should leave. If you're a customer, you should look to secure your future with some new suppliers. If you're a shareholder, sell while you can. And if you're considering going to work for DXC - don't do it. It's every bit as bad as you've heard.

No if I got a 1% pay increase its still an increase from what I had before, don't be so stupid. No its not a cost of living increase but it gives me more buying power from before I had the increase.
If it's so bad here then LEAVE if you can, otherwise shut the F up. This site should be used to help people laid off, who want to move somewhere else or about new layoff news. It doesn't help to complain constantly
You want a raise, you have two options:
- Try for a promotion. In the time I was at DXC, I don't know anyone who got a promotion. And even if you do get promoted, you'll still be at DXC and the 'raise' that goes with it will probably be less than inflation.
- Leave. The IT market is short of people right now (especially in the UK). Get out. There are plenty of employers out there who will pay better than DXC and who treat their staff way better than DXC treats its staff.
I chose to leave. I left the worst employer in the tech sector. I now work for a genuinely decent employer who seems to value their staff very highly and who actually rewards good performance. Surely getting out is a complete 'no-brainer'??
I've never heard Mike Self-INO (I'm Number One), Mary, or V Node say they only got 1%.
There's no "i in team unless your in that team.
They always get well above inflation, its not rating or appraisal based.
