The Microsoft practice of DXC Technology in North America is cutting nearly 70 people, which is probably 10%+ of the headcount for this DXC Technology practice in North America. These cuts will be complete by the end of January, 2020.
This is yet another of the many WFRs that have taken place since DXC's inception in early 2017. This is despite strong assurances the WFRs were over from Executive VP and General Manger Edward Ho and others in management after the last big round of layoffs (just a few months ago).
These layoffs, initiated to curb costs because of poor business unit performance, will only ensure future business unit performance challenges as essential staff, even billable consultants actively working on client projects, are being cut.
The 'cooks and wait-staff' are being cut, and yet management thinks this 'restaurant' can continue to function! Amazing! Client project commitments and customer service can only suffer with fewer essential staff to fulfill obligations.
