Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Hi Guys

Watch out for me, Im on today, just doing my last bit of prep, reckon i can get through this and the next qtr.

I will paint it both ways "things are tough but the future is bright under my leadership using Ai". The bad bit be put in so i can stop paying you guys and take the money for myself and my friends.

Keep up the good work.

Please stop already , hopefully the author is a grownup that have been in the business for more than a few years.

If you don’t like how the company is treating you , then grow a pair and get the CV, Resume out and go find a. better position if you can.

If you can’t get hired anyplace else, the. su-k it up. Do your job yo best of your ability and shut the duck up

Thanks guys your amazing, you have covered all the excuses.

Im going to confuse with AI and b4ll through another quarter. If they cant work out contraction every qtr after 2 years they shouldn't be in Wall street but down a Side Street.

In the meantime more holidays directly with Cumhere for me, I'm doing to her what Sally did with his Finchy.

Can not cuumhere help?

@ps its like, RamNOT ram not that nose on video, man. Rolling it into a ball for his special sauce, disgusting stuff. Lets hope he behaves well on customer calls.

@pn he's more like RamNOT. I will admit I'm surprised that his direct reports did not offer to pick it for him. This place is in a nose dive. No worries though, they will use the leadership layoffs as "cost reduction" and their made up pipeline to buy another quarter so I can leave in Jan (after my long break in December) sell all my stock and watch it go to single digits before the end of 2026.

Ramnath is digging for treasure in his nose on video calls. His special sauce will be distinct. The guy is on the nose when it comes to revenue growth.

“Dear Wall Street,
I know the results haven’t been as good as we said in the last earnings call (and the one before that too) but there is a very simple explanation for this: our employees haven’t been taking their Secret Sauce as directed. The result is that many of them are not Super Excited, or even Excited, and this obviously has had an impact on their productivity and willingness to go the extra ten miles we need to stand still.
However, let me reassure you that I have the utmost confidence in our Senior Executive team and I can also reassure you that they have indeed been taking their Secret Sauce and as a result there has been a massive improvement in their bonus and retention payments to cope with the extreme stress they might face in the future (no idea what would cause this stress, but they MIGHT experience it).
Therefore, and as you can see, we remain ideally positioned to cope with the Y2K virus that will soon be impacting global computers and have our Microsoft NT Server engineers on standby to cope with the demand that will generate massive profits for us and our shareholders in the next ten years.
Yours sincerely,
Raul”

The analyst are stupid, you have been giving these excuses for years and they cant work out that your not capable of growing the company.

They cant see the same layers of Management taking vast sums of money for contraction every year. Just keep recycling the same excuses and milking the company dry, they wont know better.

Strategic Portfolio Shift to Growth Markets DXC is repositioning its business around > cloud, AI, and digital engineering—areas with long-term, sustainable demand.
Got to laugh at this one - DXC has been trying to make this shift for cloud and digital since it was created in 2017, it will still be trying to shift to AI long after the market has moved on to the next shiny thing in 5 years time ...

Have to say it's hard to distinguish between the ai posted here and what they actually say. Probably the clearest use case for AI I've seen.

Swap tens of millions of dollars of executives for fifteen dollars a month anthropic subscription?

Much easier to get ai to spout bs than have it try and rack a server...

GTCO Gray and his humiliation gang of grayprinters, so cringe management are 'hyped' on big egos and testosterone meetings. Nothing changes in this place.

4️⃣ Weaker Bookings & Renewals Slower pace of new contract wins and renewals has reduced backlog, impacting near-term revenue visibility.

just asked Chat GPT:

Which 5 main reasons for the ongoing revenue decline should the CEO of DXC.technology present ot the stock analysts? And what are the 3 best reasons why the analysts should give a positive vote for the future of DXC?

• Legacy Business Shrinkage
  DXC’s traditional IT outsourcing and infrastructure services are declining as clients migrate to cloud and modern platforms. This is a structural, industry-wide shift, not just a company-specific issue.
• Delayed Large Deals & Longer Sales Cycles
  Economic uncertainty has led to deferred enterprise spending, with clients delaying or downsizing large IT transformation projects, especially in slower industries (e.g., consumer, retail).
• Execution Challenges During Transformation
  As DXC transitions to a more digital, cloud, and AI-focused service model, execution gaps (e.g., talent gaps, turnover, integration issues) have temporarily impacted revenue growth.
• Weak Bookings and Contract Renewals
  Lower-than-expected new contract wins and slower renewal cycles have reduced the backlog, leading to weaker revenue visibility in the near term.
• Competitive Pressures and Pricing Erosion

3 Best Reasons Analysts Should Give a Positive Outlook for DXC

• Active Business Model Transformation with High-Value Focus
  DXC is actively shifting its portfolio toward growth areas—cloud services, AI, digital engineering, and analytics. These segments are growing, and DXC is investing in capabilities that align with long-term industry demand.
• Improving Cost Structure and Margin Discipline
  Despite revenue declines, DXC has maintained or improved margins through cost optimization, automation, and restructuring—demonstrating strong operational control and cash flow discipline.
• Turnaround Signals: Stabilizing Segments & Strategic Wins

usual excuses to be rolled out ie

1. poised for growth "in the near future"
2. currency headwinds
3. several giant deals closed 10 mins after the end of the quarter
4. leadership team are energised and excited (about their obscene ill-deserved bonuses)
5. have talked to clients and they are very excited (in order to get me off the phone)
6. AI will transform everything and magically make DXC successful (first example of GenAI hallucinations in middle of analyst call)
7. Large scale WFR program (because AI can now do it all)
8. Stock buyback

Talk about how ramnath with his Accenture reject COO CFO will be unleashing the special sauce which is to change everything by giving the SAME life long incompetent people more responsibility. How drummer will keep doing his stuff and wondering why no profit is being generated and insurance will be treated like cr-p for being the most productive.

All executives are now entitled to a 5 year retention bonus to demonstrate our commitment to our strategy.

@ag If we're lucky they'll lock themselves in and never bother us again

@aj don't tease us like that.

We are initiating another WFR programme first week of November.

Rob and Raul are barricading themselves in a room all week next week to prep for the 30th analyst call. It’s gotten that desperate.

We continue to demotivate staff through lack of reward, forced holiday shutdown and "harmonization" of Ts & Cs (managers informed on Friday, staff should get email on Monday) so not only have we avoided restructuring costs the Q4 numbers will be better as the many leavers will be replaced with AI.

I can only assume that's the explanation for the recent decisions

But we have a new CMO! This one’s a rain maker ! Good times ahead
