After years of not telling people where they are in the band HR have now divided the bands up in to 4 segments, 1 at the bottom, 4 at the top, and managers know what segments their staff are in. HR still won't share the segments boundaries but everything else being equal you're more likely to get a raise if you are in segment 1 than you are in segment 4. However given how wide the bands are and how small any raises will be, you'll be in those segments forever. And yes if you're in segments 3 & definitely 4 time to check out the mythical promotion process.
Basically DXC is fu---d.
Any recent joiners are in segments 3 & 4, any long term employees 1 & 2. The very limited budgets won't fix the long term problems. The amount of negative feedback is almost at the point of open rebellion but come December and the next raft of town halls our glorious leaders will act surprised we're not all stupidly grateful.
