Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

@3idu+1unuAs5F I'm with you on the work the hours you like game. Mostly because I see my colleagues (the dross) do very little for the same 0% pay rise. Some on more $€£ a month. So I'm not encouraged to try myself. You don't have to respond out of hours 'cos they can't / won't offer any money so they can't expect much more than 5hrs a day however that's spread. In fact it's still double most.

@1qzy+1unuAs5F Have the dross given up, or do the dross no longer have any tasks because the work is done much more cheaply in low-wage countries?

Even though there have been no wage increases for years, DXC is not a bad employer all in all. I have never been able to take vacation so easily, work spontaneously from home, or have such freedom to determine my own working hours. As long as you are not involved in on-call services, you are left alone outside of working hours and do not have to respond to any emails or Teams messages.

And I still have hope that management will recognize the mistakes made in the past and be able to turn things around and there will be enough work for everyone again.

On the other hand, I don't think that Raul, or anyone at that management level before him, even knows what is happening much further down, but is only presented with figures. Have they ever tried to find out what motivated customers not to renew contracts or to lower the price? I mean the real reasons, not the "DXC's offer was 2% higher than the competitor's" reason.

please let my request redundancy to be approved.. hate this place..

Their solution to the fact they haven't given raises in 7+ years is to widen the salary bands, so they can simply say (as CA did in a town hall) no one is out of band and thus there is no salary problem.

DXCs issue is they have backed themselves into a corner not giving any pay rises. And now even when it gives one it's a total insulant so the staff just quit. It it determined to loose all it's good staff, yet won't sack the dross who gave up years ago and haven't done a useful task since and now claim or really can't remember how to do something quite trivial.

Tbf the problem dxc has is new business. It is the thing it needs to fix...

But equally having the capacity to deal with it is the next one...

When you’ve lot 10bn in revenue and lost 50% of the workforce with NO new business, announcing MORE cuts points to the inevitable, a slow but sure death.

Especially when Raul gave it the whole new leadership and focuses sales BS.

Wall Street love a layoff BUT the last CFO and everyone with a brain has realised the game. If they announce wholesale cuts it won’t look good.

"if he announces it, it may lower investor confidence in DXC"

Quite the reverse.

Wall Street love a layoff. It makes them hard.

DXC cannot deliver. I can't even get them to change a password. Why would you trust them to do anything more complicated. All the good staff you could rely on left, and the few who are still around seem to have given up on being helpful. Our game is to tie them in their own paperwork and watch it implode to exist the contract early.

"and if he announces it, it may lower investor confidence in DXC as well as our client confidence."
How can anything lower client confidence in Dixie? Some major clients are saying that due to previous performance they will not be renewing contracts. One big company went through a migration on 1 system and then said there is no way that DXC is migrating our other sensitive system.
