I'm in the Networks team tower and when we went to AT&T we got good rises every year, so we are on good package, alot more than the DXC folks.
After returning to DXC we are no longer getting them big raises, was wondering if we are high up on the list and whether we will get a redundancy offering in all the costs cutting that's going on?
@Kjgn+1lbp71qE is that di-k... by name and nature?
A loathed brownose, Stop being a yes man and grow up and think for yourself. Soon you'll be shown the door then you will realise what it's like to be on the recieving end.
Im going to make sure that you get big cuts like I always give to the DXC people and make them feel really pain.
Hopefully I will take over management responsibilities for Networks soon.
Sounds like plenty of fat to cull, and I've been cutting since CSC days so I'm good at it, watch out Networks.
Our managers know how to stick up for the Networks tower. They will fight Salvino for our pay, he cant even touch us.
Our managers aren't yes men, they protect us from the work as we're not getting our raises and bonuses like we did in AT&T
If it means projects and work doesnt get delivered then so be it, we like an easy life.
If more DXC managers stood up like Networks then they would have to give raises.
So DXC managers stop bieng yes men, become tough like the Networks tower.
If only you guys look after the network and do your project work in time without your lazy attitude, we would be in a better position revenue wise and the employees would get some rises. All in all - this is a tower which drags down everything - so get to work and help your customers and other tower colleagues.
So which id--t agrees to pay AT&T cola but then doesn't charge customers cola.
Sheer incompetent id--ts at the top.
In the current inflation they should be able to goto the clients and ask them for cola as these are exceptional times.
Another point why do the id--ts take thier rises if they have clocked up?
We in Networks are used to raises and bonuses every March.
Sally and Finchy get your fingers out from .... and announce our rises, no need to wait for Jun, July, August or any other month.
"not sure why I'm in the same job doing the same work in DXC but no increase every year."
Because before you worked for a third party who's contract with DXC included COL and inflation price rises payable by the customer.
Now you don't.
At this time of year I would be talking with my manager discussing my bonus and pay raise. It happened every year without fail when we were in AT&T so not sure why I'm in the same job doing the same work in DXC but no increase every year.
This is the 2nd year I'm In DXC and it hasn't happened.
I also don't understand why DXC wait 4 months after the year end to talk about the pay increase. Why wait a whole quarter in the new year?
This company is seriously on another planet when it comes to pay and how not to look after its employees.
They may have transferred across but still seem to be in their own AT&T bubble.
They are not integrated into the main support towers and seem to have a different management chain, operating different conditions, and processes.
Wonder how long it will take to integrate them properly into DXC.
They have all been transferred over mostly (some small countries being exception).
Wonder if they will actually transfer to DXC world as they currently seem to be still working in a AT&T world.
There seems to no management drive in this tower, needs a review and haul over.
It is just a matter of time that this "belly dancing" in the network tower will come to an end. A recently promoted Veep is working on this. Lots of customers and platinum accounts have already complained.
Usually at this time of year we used to get our pay rises and bonuses in AT&T. We were rich and compared to Dxc pay still are.
It used to be so good to have a double increase every year. We used to feel like Mike Salvino does every year.
In DXC the thought of a bonus and rise seem impossible except for the executives.
How times have changed, we have gone from being executive pay to garbage collectors in the DXC world.
Ha ha, If only you can get a network resource to put a packet sniffer on would be useful achievement.
They are so laid back after years in AT&T, saying no to DXC jobs alot of them don't know what work is.
They should integrate Networks into other main support areas, other engineers can also do network work it's nothing special. As it stands they are virtually working for AT&T except in name and they still think they are not DXC.
We have put a sniffer on your tower. We are doing a Packet (read package) analysis. it is just a matter of time, we will "drop jumbo packets".
My manager reckons we are overstaffed in networks, his got engineers with little work but can't redploy them as its quiet across networks. He told me too keep low.
Reckons there will be layoffs shortly especially as the cost structure for networks is high and DXC can get low lying fruit savings quickly, his just dreading the meeting from upper management, says its a matter of anytime now, as they can't keep running as is.
Why don't you keep it quiet, stop rubbing it in we are on a lot more than the DXC people and I am happy as is.
It's not like your busting a gut.
If they do a comparison we will get nothing for years.
I'm in Networks and I'm going to sc--w DXC for every cent I can. Luckily we are on good pay, theres no way I'm going without raises.
We used to get bonuses and pay raises from AT&T, but nothing from this raider company, whose boss is taking our pay raises for himself.
Cheeky Mike Salvino says there's not enough money for raises then he takes $7 million extra for himself and his friends.
Such a liar, can't trust a word of what he and his people say.
They have finally worked out that Networks is a big cost and will be streamlined and aligned with other service lines as there's no need for a separate expensive outpost/company and there's easy cost savings to be had with the Integration.
They were oddly left separately even after the return from AT&T, an oversight perphaps.
Please transfer us to AT&T or any other company, after getting yearly raises and bonuses fir years we can't survive this sh-t company which gives raises every 10 years.
You should be ashamed of how your running this company, absolute ar soles of management who are raiding the company and scr wing the workers over.
Your making profit pay up.
Any update on this wfr for Networks has anyone heard anything further?
I'm looking to go, all was good with AT&T now I've had enough, no pay raise last year for the first year in many years after transfer back to DXC.
Cr-p company, cr-p DXC management who are a bunch of loosers, who won't pay you.
It's the same in EMEA you can't ever get Networks to do anything. They always come up with barriers and "no can do".
There a few good people who do, but alot are poor and don't work.
Stupid thing is the network management team try and defend the employees rather than move work to the slakers who aren't doing any work.
@7dtg+1lbp71qE - is absolutely correct. Getting anything done in this space is next to impossible and clients and project managers are left to hang dry. Can someone wake up the two head honchos in the indies who own this tower to do something? Another lucrative business dragged down due to wrong behaviour and total mismanagement.
Do Networks work for another company?
Seems like they work for another company as non of the dxc people are in this chilled good pay, stable, relaxing bubble.
Most of our managers are useless in Networks they just like saying no to everything and everyone.
There's so many staff that could be utilized but they keep saying we don't have staff and turn away projects and work.
They still think they are working for AT&T and defending anything that comes from DXC.
Everytime a request comes in for work the standard response is "We are too busy" yet some people have nothing to do.
They need to replace the managers in networks with DXC managers then they will find out what's really going on.
We could run on a lot less staff who are willing to work.
It's good in Networks we are paid a fair amount of pay and not over worked.
Being compensated fairly means that not many people leave Networks and we aren't effected by layoffs.
We see our DXC colleagues disappear in masses, people you know were here one week suddenly not around the next. Not a good place to be.
Our position is thanks to AT&T, if DXC treat staff the same as T then things would improve for DXC staff.
I'm just happy I effectively work for Networks and not main DXC.
@3glr+1lbp71q correct not much change on a Network, thats why we in Networks are overstaffed, once its setup there is little change and day to day its stable, unlike servers.
We just have to take care of any changes like firewalls rules, new setup, dns.....
So not massively stretched but as mentioned earlier some of us are busy and others doing very little, our management doesn't have a clue otherwise we wouldn't be in that mess if they managed it properly.
Weren't networks always redundant (if you configure them correctly)?
Networks was sold like slaves , 1st to AT&T and back to. DXC.
Maybe if you all stop saying things can’t be done and start working for the accounts then DXC may move forward a bit faster
I'm in Networks and know there's quite a few with little to do and they get away with it whilst others are busy, our management line our quite poor at working out what's going on.
DXC management don't understand what we do so more difficult to work out.
As you say its not our fault we are on much more than DXC folk but thats thanks to AT&T not DXC.
I feel for the DXC people but we can't change that.
If they cut us I will go as this is a garbage company.
There is no slack in networking at least in the UK. As a consumer of service rather than a provider I can tell you there is almost ZERO capacity. I have literally just raised a request for a network architect and an engineer FTE for a few months and I have already been told that they will have to hire externally if they can't find someone off the WFR program.
Don’t hate us for getting paid the going rate by AT&T, hate the company who hasn’t given people year on year a pay rise.
We all know that we’ll be top of the list of people to WFR, I just hope they’ll pick me first, can’t stand this toxic company.
I'm sure the Networks folks are going to be reviewed as they are on 30 - 40%+ more than other DXC folks.
Getting rid of 2 Networks people would be the same as 3 to 4 other staff.
So far Networks haven't had any major restructuring or cuts and have quite a bit of slack which can be reduced significantly, they will be on the plan to look at next.
whoever said “high cost’ areas is secure and can’t be offshored.” is wrong many IT secure projects in Emea and UK often had non EU consultants in as on shore resources; even option regularly exercised by this cesspool of a company of firing experienced staff for a) graduates b) off / on shore resources.
We're the " big honcho's" initials "MD"?
Did not the big honcho of networking who ran the insourcing from At@t got a fat package and ejected?
we are also planning to buy a small island and offshore all ITAR work there - one of the ground breaking ideas that we will implement in fy24. we are setting up platform - x there.
whoever said “high cost’ areas is secure and can’t be offshored.” is wrong as for US ITAR has been offshored to Puerto Rico as it’s a US territory
I've seen the figures that Network's get and they are very lucrative, 40% more compared to DXC folk.
CSC Outsourced them to AT&T and then DXC insourced them back with loads of benefits and extra pay.
They have been missed of radar of the cuts so far but I'm sure they will get picked up shortly as a very high overhead cost which needs streamlining to achieve the margins and big savings.
People posting odd pro DXC posts about pay realise that we are adults and know that most companies manage to issue cost of living rises then merit awards over and above the cost of living increase? most of DXCs work in ‘high cost’ areas is secure and can’t be offshored.
parasite. go on get an external job and just leave.
sounds like with your attitude deserve no decent pay increases.
