Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

@4oyr+1u5mxHCD There is no logic, strategy or vision in DXC. The organisation has a lot of insider threat who have decided the best strategy is to sink the entire ship. Management are quite happy to let people go and say to their seniors - I told you so. Because those managers get the same 0% rises and the same non existent bonuses as everyone else. It's probably because they care for their staff that they let them go. And after all the company cannot admit it knows what market rate is, and has the budget to cover it. But it seems to when it's forced to re-hire.

I'll give you additional context.Not from UK but from EMEA.In last quarter od 2023 Senior Dev was informed that he might get raise. 8 years in company,last 4 years Recognition awards,multiple praises from internal business teams, high FPR revoews etc.He did a lot of good work for corporate,become Team Lead and system owner.Well, he was given...not a raise but "parallel promotion" without raise and in last quarter he was moved to different team, different project with tech stack he barely knew as regular dev. Why? To be 100% bilable. Senior management wanted to put him on layoff list due to fact he usually was doing 50% time for corporate internal project.Meanwhile they hired mid dev with almost twice salary than this Senior. Find any logic here...

If DXC could do it all offshore they would for sure, and why not. I think what people are really grumbling about is they do a decent job, and feel forced out through lack of recognition, and then next week DXC will take on someone new for even more money than the one who just left was asking for. Pay us the same - everyone happy!

You are 10 times more expensive than offshore and you want a payrise?
be glad you get paid fool

I think you mean at-will.

49 of the 50 US states are at-will. Only one requires a good reason to let you go.

When I started my career the company I joined (not DXC) had a wide demographic of staff. They had a vision of where they were trying to go which filtered down to every department. They rewarded almost everyone with pay rises, bonuses and promotions for helping achieve that vision. They put on useful training. And they said thank you with small but appreciated regular treats. If you couldn't or wouldn't contribute you got booted out.

Compare that to DXC. No pay rise for 10 years. No bonus. No vision of what we're trying to achieve and how to achieve it. No training in anything actually useful for my job. Not even a verbal thank you for 20 years service. The good staff have left already, the majority of those left behind don't seem to know what they are doing and certainly couldn't tell you why they do it, but mid management don't seem to care.

The people who stay are doing it because they aren't too far off retiring but another year of fun money as contingency might not go a miss. Or they've only just joined and wouldn't look good to jump ship yet. But most now fall into that no idea what they are doing or at least can't be arsed category but hey this su---r of a company doesn't seem to notice.

DXC should have invested in it's internal processes and systems, equipment and staff training so it's got the tool kit and expertises to rock up on a clients account and deliver something useful and charge a small fortune for it. But it missed all that. And now we're just here to watch the legacy systems and hope they don't fail before the client switches away from DXC.

Nobody's listening whether it's here LinkedIn or internal meetings. Nobody cares about DXC. Staff don't want it to win. Clients don't want us. Management are only here for the short term - and that's DXC's whole problem. It clearly makes sod all difference what I do or don't do. I'll get the same 0% pay rise. I can't see my current project ever delivering. I do twice as much as the next guy but know even I'm coasting and question every day who's the fool around here?

: @2hmu+1u5mxHCD Let me explain it to you. I worked for DXC for 13 years and have many friends still with DXC and I want the world to know how cr-ppy they are treated and how much money the board and executives are stealing.

I have posted on Linkedin , X and Facebook and am getting likes 👍 from people still with DXC that will stand up and be counted.

If you want change you can’t hide on this site , you need for the public to know what’s going on.

I'll never understand why people leave the company and still hang around here moaning. It's not exactly social, it's all anonymous.

US Americans need to understand the fundamental difference in labor markets between Europe and the US. It's like a ship: in Europe, ships have high sides and are stable and slow. It is difficult for sailors to be washed overboard in a storm. The danger for the crew is low. However, if you are already a castaway floating in the water, it is very difficult to climb on board. In the USA, the ships are shallow and fast. It is easy to fall off, but it is also easy to climb back on board somewhere else.
