Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Europe isn't doomed for IT.

Atos, Fujitsu and many other outsourcers out there running services without issues.

It maybe expensive but customers pay good rates. Stop making excuses for a poorly run DXC company which can't provide service infamy region.

Europe is doomed from an IT services perspective - extremely expensive workforce and no IT company can afford unless there is huge innovation. Cannot use the word "innovation" and DXC in the same sentence. Added to that is you have Putin, Lukashenko, Prigoszyn lurking around. So DXC is gently trying to get out of Europe and it is not a bad thing.

@2vnp+1nqSEik2 The financial resources in Europe for WFR are simply put into another pot and then no longer play a role in the balance sheets. It is a stupid way of thinking, but that is how the game works. The question is rather, where in Europe do they still want to run WFR without completely cutting teams? At least in our country, the teams consist of only two or three men, who are then the lifeline when some offshore/bestshore/nearshore teams have really screwed something up. I seem to remember that two months ago they were still saying that Europe was an important market and that they needed the staff here. But the heartfelt bans on overtime and internal travel make me suspect that something bad is about to happen.

Except a short spate of it. Appropriately timed to coincide with management justification for giving no pay rises. Least you still have a job! Then we can all forget about it again for another year. Whatever the company offer it wouldn't be enough, so why even bother. What they've not noticed or don't care about is that most people seem to have adjusted their input to reflect what they get paid.

@xkp+1nqSEik2 I already left. Got a 8%+ increase , truly unlimited vacation and health insurance. No weekend work and no being on call EVER!

I have a theory that DXC is now actively trying to avoid WFR.

They're not exactly making much profit. They need to reduce outgoings as far as possible.

WFR, especially in UK & Europe, is expensive. So it's better to get staff so demotivated that they leave of their own accord, thus DXC avoids WFR payouts. Natural shrinkage is far better for DXC than expensive WFR payouts.

And, you know what? It's better for anyone who isn't close to retirement to just get out. There are loads of great employers out there. DXC is not, and never will be, one of them. Why wait for a WFR payment that you might not get, while watching your own career go nowhere, and watching your salary shrinking in real terms. You could leave, take your skills to a better employer, and start re-building your career. I spent two years at DXC, realised where it was going, and left voluntarily. My career has gone far better in the time since I left than it ever did while I was there.

What are you waiting for? Take control of your life and go work for a much better employer!

good to be focusing on "increasing revenue" ... as that focus has been so successful since DXC was created in 2017 ... Revenue of $26B a year "increased" to $14B.
Same with share price - "increased" from $57 to $27
and staff salaries "increased" every year no doubt
Love the DXC use of the word "increased"

Hmm sounds like maybe you should be the one leaving @khf+1nqSEik2 especially if you don’t even get a decent severance package!!

If you want to leave then go, you all in the UK have it made. We in the US get a max of 8 week's pay if we get laid off
