Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Germany next

German Management...

Dear colleagues,

The IT industry is experiencing massive change. Clients are migrating their mission-critical IT, modernizing their infrastructure and applications, and moving to digital. All companies need to evolve to remain relevant, and most will confront difficult decisions and choices along the way.

We, as DXC Technology, need to stay ahead of these changes. Since the beginning of our fiscal year, we have launched several initiatives to continue our shift to digital in all areas of our business. Driving these initiatives is critical to serving our clients, building our future, staying competitive and, ultimately, enabling topline growth.

The digital opportunity is proven, and talent is the key to success. DXC continues to invest in our digital workforce by identifying new talent pipelines and talent pools, improving recruitment, and supporting reskilling and remixing.

As part of this transformation process, despite our best efforts to mitigate this, we unfortunately cannot exclude that some initiatives will lead to workforce transformation actions that affect our local workforce. These actions are necessary to operate effectively and competitively in this digital era.

In this context, we are planning appropriate measures in the coming months that may affect employees in all legal units of DXC in Germany. This month we will begin a consultation process with employee representatives to reach an agreement on a volunteers program and negotiate further details on transformation measures.

We will update you on the results of the negotiations and provide further details in due course.

The email came in German language as well. It's legit. So, dear Management, put the numbers on the table and tell me how much you're willing to pay if I leave.

India markup too high and margin too low

Reskill? That won't float.

Its not about the lack of skills or even the inability to learn, its absolutely about the temerity employees have to have accrued raises over their careers and be paid more than low cost locations or graduates.

I'm sure they'd accept your continuing employment if you take a 75% pay cut.

Interesting fact, the workers are to re-skill. Present modern techniques to L3/L2, this is heard, “where is the secret decoder ring to understand this concept?”

@116phpts-fsd nah, CSC (under Mikey) closed its biggest German site with hundreds of jobs going with not one squeak from the works council.

There are ways of doing this in Germany.

Hmm.. An interesting post from DXC management.

DXC clearly considers it still has too many employees whose skills are no longer appropriate, or ones who cannot be retrained in new 'digital' skills. We all know this is codswallop.

People who have chosen a career in IT, have constantly had to adapt to new technologies, and nothing has changed in this respect. So rather than embrace those abilities and skills, here is a simple decision from upper management to move tasking to lower cost regions across the globe.

The Works Council has been protecting the interests of German employees for many years now. So how will DXC circumvent that, and continue its strategy of attrition?

"Maßnahmen zur Umwandlung der Belegschaft" says it all.
