The whole problem with this company is the lack of visibility beyond line managers. I have no idea who my manager’s manager is, I’ve never met them, and I’ve never received a single message from them. Above that, there are another four layers of management who nobody ever hears from ever! And then we have the top brass who take all the profits and issue orders. No wonder the company is such a mess. By the time any direction filters down the message has changed completely, or just totally lost and forgotten.

It's the "management" who aren't actually managers you've got to watch out for. Power hungry little losers, who do their actual managers evil bidding.
@q5 where do you work that your manager gives you work? That hasn't been true for decades.
I've got at least 4 people who give me work, they have no relationship to me in any dxc org chart.
Going back the org chart you seem to think is important, I know my manager but couldn't tell you anyone in the layers between them and top bods, same goes for the project above immediate person hierarchy is just meaningless
@q5 Read the post. The whole post. Rather than snapping at people assuming you know it all you ignorant id--t. This is why DXC is going to the wall.
If you don’t know who your manager is, who gives you assignments?
Are you that stupid that you can’t figure out who your manager is?
Look at your profile in OutLook and it will show you who your people manager is
@bv Indeed the client already takes most work to other suppliers who just do it. No fuss. Bill later. Not DXC, rejected, can't start, can't finish. Achieve nothing.
@aj+1k6n4jw8j best thing is to fill it out slightly wrong, let them reject it, then you don't need to do the task. Keeps them happy thinking they have achieved something by blocking you, likewise you dont need to do the task, and the customer eventually leaves. Win win all around.
Filled in a form. Waited 7 days. It got rejected. I need to fill it all in again and wait another 7 days. It's like Russian immigration. Impossible to get past!
@a2 Yes we don't know them and they don't know us.
That's my point - I can see the names - I have no idea who they are. They have no idea who I am either. So when you ask for something, it just gets met with silence and you give up, and either go without or sort it out another way. But it's getting harder to sort it out. So mostly we say sorry I can't achieve that to the client, and they just go to one of our competitors.
