Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

@ss
I was also wondering this too, doesn’t seem to figure in Rauls orbit but seems to have a big impact on UK people.

@gr He's called Steve Brocklehurst. People on this website act like everyone knows him and what it's short for, but I'd never heard of him either.

@rd None of our management will stand up to anyone. Not other management and not even the client. You want us to do this in a straight jacket in a bath of trickle and a g-n to everyone's head if they make the smallest mistake. OK we'll do that. You just didn't say we had to do it anytime soon, hence why we'd all rather deliver nothing, say nothing than risk getting something wrong. He's got the whole company totally bogged down in it's own processes there is no time to provide a service.

@r3+1kv55x67a They need to grow some and tell useless B that his paperwork is stalling the company. But i guess tgey are just weaklings who are su-king up.

@qf TBF They prob all gave up trying to make a difference long back like the staff have.

You want me to shoot everyone in the foot. OK that's what we'll do.
You want us to sell all the laptops on eBay for £10 to make some extra cash - yes that's a great idea - we'll start that straight away.

His a prat, sits under Gangully in the org/team chart.

@ft
Who on earth is this ‘Brock’ person that many of you refer to as he’s not on any exec list that I can find and seems to have some sort of extraordinary influence on decisions supposedly made by DXC?

@er+1 full details the main person is Brock. His the worst example in DXC of this setup, meetings and endless paperwork creation.

He will have multiple systems for the same information. He is a master blocker, and if he is unplugged the company will flow.

Full details please!

G@e7+1kv55x67a it because the DxC management layers and overhead is so heavy. A 25% cut is required to make things flow better.

Instead of employing external growth focus with customers the current management layers just focus internally. They try and justify their roles holding lots of meetings so they can report achievements up the line.

The focus of the company is totally misaligned.

It's becoming increasingly difficult to work here. I'm invited to endless status meetings breaking up the day with 30 mins here there between other events. How is anyone expected to get stuff done in all these fragmented blocks. By the time you've made a drink and checked your email all you can really do is wait for the next call. We really need to have no meeting days, and long blocks of focus hours. If you want a stand up - do it at 7am and get everyone up and working, rather than not logging in till 9:30, can't have the status meeting until 10, and by the time anyone starts work it's 11am, and soon after that it's lunchtime. This is why nothing gets done in any hurry.

@ds cash flow

@b1 Will we get paid this week. And will it be right. Issues last month a glitch or cashflow problems?

First quarter under water. Bigly. Gotta figure how to spin this so that Rawhul and c level get their incredible bonuses while putting the sc--ws to the rest of us.

Payroll issues ??

Its a meeting about a meeting arranged by useless brock to discuss more timesheets so he can analise further.

No need for any growth.

Derek or Andy?
