Having a job at DXC where I haven’t gotten a raise in four years effectively means that I’ve been taking a pay cut each year due to inflation, and my work has just been increasing. I can’t think of a single person outside of those at the very top who can be considered “lucky to have a job” here.

fu-k you you’re lucky to have a job anywhere. You’re such a fu--ing baby. It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous.
Funny how there’s a hate message about DXC almost every day. If nothing else, at least the company delivers consistency in this one area.
Look at the apacemea head - he is gone.
DXC has to career growth opportunities, they must prefer it that way. They hang on to the wrong people and let go or let leave those that are knowledgeable and dedicated. Poor leadership and a poor company. Leave while you can, and don’t let this DXC experience taint the rest of your IT career. There is something better out there.
@e7 DXC has chosen to retain people regardless of performance, effectively as insurance. Poor performance is rarely challenged, and people are almost never dismissed.
As those long considered surplus are eventually paid off, more employees are openly planning to follow the same path. Many are simply waiting for redundancy to enable early retirement.
When pay has been frozen for years and increases are perpetually deferred, DXC has little leverage to demand greater effort. In that context, it’s not surprising that some if not most now see this as a good salary for relatively low expectations.
Busting a gut to do better got me nowhere! I gave up, nothing much has changed but it's certainly less stressful than trying to fight it.
@dd you’re irrelevant by choice. Voluntary decay until voluntary or involuntary resignation.
A job at DXC is a burden. Sure I like the monthly pay check. But I don't need it. I lost my passion for IT. I could do a good job. But am blocked from achieving it at DXC. I'm filling a position until it's officially no longer needed. I don't think it's been needed or done anything useful for about 3 months now.
Think about the poor Chief digital officer and the army of useless guys in IT. Cannot get a time system uniformly, cannot get the company into a single ERP system. They are all stuck here as well.
Yeah, I thought about it and tbh, "you’re lucky to have a job in this economy".
So then stop griping to people about your job.
Problem solved.
Quietly get a plan of action in motion, and find a way out, to a better situation for yourself.
So many people act as if they're stuck, with no options.
You live in a FREE SOCIETY, in a CAPITALIST job market.
Yes, things may su-k in general, but that doesn't mean you personally are completely unable to get yourself something better than what you're so unhappy with now.
DO something about it, if your current situation (personally and/or professionally) displeases you.
Don't just talk about it.
Or don't.
Your choice!
Whether you’re a single job applicant or the sales machine chasing RFPs this market has no use for corporate fillers. Today’s DXC is packed with fillers and placeholders. The real talent has already left. DXC’s sales pitches today are pure fiction. They sell the idea of delivery, the idea of talent, the idea of technology. They sell the fiction, the AI slop. They do not sell technology, delivery, talent and know-how. They sell the filler. There is no talent, no know-how, no references and often no customers even relevant to the RFPs they are trying to bid on. And the occasional new customer who fell for DXC’s fiction sees the filler and remembers the con. That is why customer references have vanished and contract renewals keep crashing. It is an army of corporate fillers. That is why its revenue collapses and why the employees are trapped with no offers no escape and no hope.
Your not the only one whose unlucky, Camire got a demotion, is constantly shafted, and has to answer to Raul.
