Not promotions, but merit reviews.
Have they been cancelled now? I thought it was pushed to Q4?

Not sure why people keep posting this topic.
DXC motto has always been the below
No pay raise yesterday
No pay raise today
No pay raise tomorrow
What part of the above are you all missing?
If you want better pay, you have only one option - resign and go to a better company that values their employees.
Good luck to you all
Get made redundant take the money and fu--ing run. It's the DXC way.
"with $1.89 billion in the bank"
Thats staggering, there is no justifiable reason for DXC not to pay.
Just rubbish been talked on Town Halls.
Demand you raise with your manager.
@np+1keyhav3f your obviously a Exec/Manager coming up with excuses.
The TCS case has been won.
Besides DXC have (cash and cash equivalents) of approximately $1.89 billion for the fiscal quarter ending September 2025.
Are you trying to say a company with $1.89 billion in the bank and making $650 million cash every year can't afford to give a pay rise?
The Execs are taking the pi$$. Time people worked to rule.
the recent legal win at the appeals court against TCS is not the end of that road - the judge vacated a few other blocks on TCS appealing further so it will be appealed and dragged out at least another year or two - so DXC cannot spend the money just yet
They have recently won a $192 million legal case with TCS.
Thats 10% of the Market cap so they are definitely in a position to give rises this year.
Be interesting if they come up with excuses.
The company is making pure profit of $650 million this year but chooses not to give it to employees
It can't, as it needs the first $100-150M to pay the guaranteed exec bonuses, and it needs a minimum of $500M a year for share buybacks to stop the company from becoming literally worthless - so nothing left over for the 120K staff.
The company is making pure profit of $650 million this year but chooses not to give it to employees.
@OP Yes until the company is in profit 🤣🤣🤣.
@fk median wage in the U.K. is £40K
@fk U.K. Tech pay is terrible. Almost as cheap as India now.
Back in 2020 DXC did an annual pay review. It was the first in my many years with the company. Then CHRO Mary promised it would be an annual review. It was the first and last annual review in my experience. Whenever I post about it, the comment is usually deleted quickly. She is even quoted in the Times of India. While she is mainly talking about India the quote is accurate to the rest of the company - " “There was no regular pay review cycle in the company when we arrived. We fixed that immediately for our offshore talent and specifically for India in January of 2020."
They always move the pay review to the leanest time of the year to justify zero. Having done nothing (useful) since November even I'm inclined to agree I can't justify why I deserve one. Other than yet another year of inflation erosion and but colleagues in the same boat get paid way more than me already.
@d7 Only $80,000.00 USD. I made a lot more than that at DXC when I started in 2009
You got to be Kidding, DXC has NEVER paid out merit pay increases across the board! I had two pay increases in 14 years at DXC, the 1st $950.00 but it was better than I thought. Thought I was being let go as they didn't give anything to do for 6 months after I was assigned to this New Team.
Then my last year as the people manager and I got along well that was just under 4.5% increase . average raise per year over 14 years is about 0.4% per year — essentially flat wages when compared to inflation.
If you want, I can also calculate the inflation‑adjusted loss in real income over those 14 years.
YOU WILL NEVER get a merit increase, FIND A NEW EMPLOYER, are you that stupid not to know anu better by now?
I left on Jan 2023 , 4 pay increases later. Should have left sonner
And they wonder why people CBA to put any effort into the annual appraisal (the charade this year kicks off from 2nd Feb. Self evaluation time). What a waste of time and effort but management have to meet their targets!!
@f3 the problem is that if I work hard I don't get rewarded because of a blanket policy to not reward and not promote.
Until they decide that individual performance will be recognised and rewarded there is literally zero reason to do anything but sit on my backside.
DA basically said if you are a UK employee then the answer is no. This isn't even the first time such examples of blanket refusal has been seen either.
We’re stuck in a vicious cycle. We’re not paid to care or go the extra mile, so people stop doing more than the minimum. Then we’re told there’s no pay rise because performance hasn’t improved. Management say that if we work harder, something might happen—but it hasn’t in the last ten years. So what’s changed now?
This system discourages effort. When extra work and initiative aren’t recognised or rewarded, people disengage. That’s rational behaviour, not laziness.
George Orwell captured this in Animal Farm. The pigs promise equality and shared reward, then quietly rewrite the rules to benefit themselves. The workers are told to sacrifice more for a future that never arrives. Boxer’s “I will work harder” leads only to exploitation, not progress.
If effort hasn’t been rewarded for a decade, the burden of proof isn’t on the workforce anymore. It’s on management to show—clearly and tangibly—why this time is different.
The company Execs just lie, Salvino said a few years ago that he had put in COLA cost of living rises into contracts and so folks would get increases. But the greedy liars just take the increases for themselves.
They are the most unethical, untrustworthy group of people you will come across who can lie every year.
They will string people till March then backtrack on their words.
@d7 Meanwhile, the company increases the charge rate to the client every year without fail. Our salaries should be directly linked to that. If you can get yourself a higher rate job. You should get more. The company used to take 75% of what I bring them a few years ago, it now takes 80%. And it still can't seem to make a profit! To the client, I'd could do this job for you for 1/4 what DXC charges, and I'd be very happy with the huge pay rise it creates! Anyway I'll keep billing away to any project code I can find, and wait for further instructions.
Just for example if you joined on £60K in 2020 if DXC had kept up with normal inflation linked pay rises that would be a £75K-80K job now
Don’t eXpect Compensation?
Rescheduled to 2027, in other words never coming. The performance review and promotion cycle just lip service. The company is in decline and are never going to promote or pay employees more.
You must be a newbie, DXC management are liars. They never mean what they say, and they never deliver what they promise.
Make sure you clock off exactly on time dont give them a minute extra. Thats the only way they will realize the consequences of their actions.
They are never cancelled - just endlessly rescheduled. Much like all our projects. I wonder why that is! I can confidently say your pay will be reviewed in 3 months time, and the review will be rescheduled in around 10 to 11 weeks time.
You poor gullible fool, you must do better at reading between the lines. Of course they've been cancelled but DXC won't officially say that until end of March, in the hope the promise of reward will keep you working hard.
Oh to be so young and naive again
