Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

@v9 I disagree. From what I see, clients increasingly want less actual work done (unless it’s free). At the same time, the amount of paperwork and process keeps growing, often just to tick a box. In many cases the documentation isn’t meaningfully reviewed – people mainly want confirmation that it has been submitted.

The real issue is the number of bottlenecks in the process. You can spend two weeks waiting for approval just to start something the client already wants. That waiting time then gets counted as if it were delivery time, which isn’t realistic.

If a task takes three weeks of actual work, it still takes three weeks. If you had to wait two weeks for approval before starting, the total timeline becomes five weeks. That doesn’t mean the work took five weeks – it means two weeks were spent waiting in the process.

More and more is demanded from you, pay never changes.
Leads apparently are bored and instead of supporting their team with questions and issues, they create surveys and spreadsheets to fill out of which we have ZERO time for, then your nagged to death about completing it while we are already blitzed from start to finish with work.
Essentially morale is dead, everyone is miserable and as we lose people they are not being replaced. It feels like we are waiting for the whole place to collapse.

Just had my Annual pension statement - assumption - "your salary will increase 2.5% every year" HA! They clearly don't adjust for DXC!

So frustrating when it comes to salary but kinda peaceful.

This. As long as I deliver, I get to do whatever I want and that's all from my own home. Can't do that anywhere else.

@a4 I could agree apart from the fact that the "peaceful" environment comes mostly from the fact that neither me nor my colleagues care anymore. I am doing my job honestly and in professional manner, but no extra steps, no proactive attitude etc. It is very healthy it turns out.

It feels like a never ending series of kicks to the groin

... you guys are getting work?

@OP
Well Jennifer, you’ll have to read the employee survey to get all of that information.

Seems more like a dead company, but that is actually an upside - no one bothers me too often. Actually, that is one of the main reason I still stay here. The work environment is... non existent. I really appreciate it. Worse part is when I need help with something, once a month, then I struck a wall of passive-aggresive "advices" from people doing everything to avoid any responsibility. Well, okay. People are mostly discouraged and unmotivated, but doing their job and far from being stressed out toxic weirdos. Basically, the main and only downside is salary not being adjusted for years and feeling of a dead end - no promotions based on tenure (ridiculous), you can be entry level for five years because "there is no opening".
