Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

@1hs hmm it's Tuesday and no emails, so looks like more FUD on this board

@27t As expected. This is why I gave up some months back. I'm having my pay rise by not contributing, and playing the game. But seems everyone else is too so it's all going unnoticed.

@1hs Confirmed, nobody in the UK getting anything. Why state you are having a review for certain levels, only to have the review and conclude that there's no money for anyone. Carrot dangling by the financially inept.

@pv Just had it confirmed, we'll be getting emails on Monday.

Anyone else confirm this?

@hk all pay change in the UK even the ones communicated

Can I just ask for some better clarity on this point - is the OP saying that any and all pay rises even the ones communicated regarding Analysts/Senior Analysts (which is more than likely just to keep ahead of minimum wage etc) is being reconsidered/cancelled by DXC or are you referring to something else? That was already sent out a few weeks ago.

I do find the fact that the contracts with clients include a cost of living increase year on year beyond belief - if DXC is simply pocketing that money is it not a bit more than just a slightly questionable decision?

In case you were under any illusion that DXC is taking the ** have you seen the news today about UK Pay growth?

According to the latest official figures, pay has grown at its slowest rate in more than five years.

Annual earnings - excluding bonuses - grew at an annual rate of 3.8% in the November to January period, down from the previous figure of 4.2%.

Where as in DXC it's 0% down from the previous figure of 0%

If you really want to be depressed look at the graph of wage growth on the BBC article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0z0x82r00o

Thought they said only analysts and senior analysts where getting in pay rises

Kiera stammer said no to the big man to help out in the straits. Too bad.

So no candy to you guys.

@f9 You can't just do AI or any other IT skill because you watched 2hr video on the topic. But if AIs so good it can save the day and suggest how you motivate a workforce to contribute with a £0 budget.

Had an email today from my line manager (passed down from HR) saying to redo (again) DXC resume in Workday, so that Mr AI can assign you to all this new business coming our way. Here’s my new skill for you to work out….Foxtrot Oscar.

@a7 W⚓️😉

Completely Unbelievable and right change will only come from the client complaining. I am in

@bm ALL pay

Salaries are now so far off it's impossible to fix. DXCs answer - we wont then. There is no reward for staying. New colleagues come in on a premium. But nobody will help them as they get paid more. The place has ground to a halt. There's no insensitive to do anything other than take the money and do as little as possible. The policy drives this behaviour. The management are treated the same so also don't really care if things get done or not. We're all still entitled to a redundancy when it fails which is what most remaining staff are now waiting on.

@OP pay canceled or merit increase canceled , be specific man !

Didn't Captain Mainwaring spell this out several weeks ago? Did you not believe him?

The funny thing is is that I experienced one of his platoon come on a non UK call and tell everyone just how high value and high profit UK secure was. Very big money, the most bigly money in dxc.

So it's the usual story, there's plenty of money, just not for employees.

Easy now the lot of whiners you. Your enormous rise arrives at 00.00 on April 1. Just try to stop fecking whimpering for another two weeks pls.

Meanwhile. The rate card is increased around 5% year on year. And on top of that, staff are put forward as higher skilled. Once a level 5, now charged out at level 6 for another 20% hike in revenue. It's all just business, but we've stopped playing. 0% rise. 0% effort!!

Talk to any UK manager off the record and they all say the same thing, they have zero influence on anything it's all done centrally by all powerful HR.

The only people who are engaged in DXC are HR, the technical staff and their managers have given up and checked out.
Just sitting around waiting for the inevitable end

If that’s the level of judgment you’re displaying 10 beans an hour feels about right for your qualifications.

I have no reason to disbelieve what you are saying in fact not surprised, they just c##ts.
