I joined CSC 2014, found it hard to believe a round of redundancies every 4-6 months. Management wanted everybody to do multiple roles (leveraging) for no extra money. With DXC it looked like it was going to change. But here we go again, Mike 2 has turned out to be like Mike 1 in the end.
They say cross train to a new role but don't say to what or where the new roles are. Loads of training in racism, gender equality, LBGT etc etc, but it's purely tick box exercises to keep the PC brigades happy. They promote Man U FC, what about the other sports? Somebody’s getting corporate benefits.
Management are continually re-inventing the wheel or even new wheels that are not round and have to be made so. Management were/are remote, sometimes in another country, so have no idea about what's really happening in the office. Since covid working from home is the norm because offices are just about gone, so no personal working environment.
Everything is handled on tickets which are frequently closed with an "I don't know," "Not my area" or no response at all. There are so many single points of failure in projects and support it is amazing the customers don't go elsewhere. It is only the individuals personal pride and commitment that things don't fail.
There is a trend that DXC are good a winning business, but then rebid to keep contracts at a lower figure, meaning the only way to keep the profit margin is to cut staff and ultimately bleeding accounts dry. The rumours of a sale will only mean more to get the chop.
There was some hope early 2022 with annual reviews promising pay increases. Lower management did lots of work to identify those deserving, but then there was a call to say the rises had been deferred, with not date for implementation given. Strange that higher management seem to get bonuses. Forget about a pay rise. Everybody I know who has left or been given redundancy or left has been a lot happier. I too will soon be happier.
