Dear customers and employees, without an exit plan you surrender your future into the hands of a shifty roster of job-hopping executives who are planning their own future. Not yours.

@ct Max 8 weeks severance in US now, per personal experience.
If you are in America's your severance is rubbish. Don't wait for a payout the MAX you can get is 15 weeks thats for anything over 10 or 12 years of service. Get out now before they have to cut you to make the share price look better. Easier to find a job when you have a job.
@b3 If you've 10 years left then you're best bet is to get out. Take a job elsewhere even if it's less money. It will soon rise. DXC's open policy is - you negotiate your salary when you join. It won't be reviewed again. About once every 5 years they put 2% in the pot which managers have the thankless task of distributing. I'd only stay now if you are planning on retiring by 2027.
Yes. Need to pay my mortgage and kids school fees for the next 10 years. Then I am done. Can’t afford to leave and too old to get hired anywhere else. Too much at stake.
I feel endlessly blocked. There's no process, there's no access, there's no help. They won't make a decision - straight yes or no on anything. I absolutely have my exit plan in place. A pay off would be nice, but once you apply your blocked from getting any bonus or pay rise, but they won't ever say no, and a yes could be sometime never. So I've picked an inconvenient date and will submit my resignation exactly one calendar month in advance as required by my contract.
Already executed my "Exit" strategy, left in May !
Increased my pay by 35%, annual pay review, 5% bonus yearly (providing KRA's met), additional holiday, a visible career path, no pointless/no agenda meetings, management that values who I am and what I do. So much happier than I was in early 2025, worrying and stressed out.
Leaving was the best decision I've ever made and I'd advise anyone who can leave todo it sooner rather than later !
