The latest indication of this company breaking into pieces is the new Sales pitch,
"Staffing as a Service" aka. Body Shopping.
What a pathetic situation for a company which is determined to self-destruct, while lining the pockets of top honchos on their way out.
"New" selling points for this "Value Proposition" !!!!
Customers can expand their staffing options via a simplified process
They are guaranteed speed in resources deployment
Customized rates to meet their business needs
If they are going to body shop you put you may as well do what I did. Take the package and set yourself up as a Contractor.
You may as well be your own Pimp, that way you keep the profits.
Just wait until some moron wants you to take Spartans training to learn about their pathetic sales offerings.
I read that same Mustang note this morning and thought WTF?!?! And then they say in there it's an annual revenue of $92K. Makes me wonder about the margin they reaped on that poor person!! They probably make half that amount!
I commented below-staff augmentation has been around forever and there is a business need for this service. There are consulting shops that survive on this business. Is thAt where DXC wants to be? My impression was that they had loftier ambitions. Whatever-long term outlook is stormy-winter is coming!
EDS always sort of did this. I did several jobs of that nature. They called it 'staff augmentation' then.
Those who were working and now laid off by Tata, Infy and Wipro are no longer interested working for a minuscule salary. Eventually you will see the services pricing way above. EX-DXC folks will also not want to work for rock bottom salaries. Eventually the inflation will reflect on the new rates quoted to customers.
This is long story on how to increase volatility in stock markets and increase cost of labor thereby getting the US inflation to at least 2 percent.
Eventually there will be many hits and misses, only time will tell who the winners are...
This is a valid strategy for DXC. Short term employees low cost quick turn on projects. Not viable long term but the company is circling the drain so meh.
And we know where those (Tata, Infy, Wipro) body shoppers are today. Massive layoffs in India, now starting to hire in US markets. Wait and watch how far they go, when they have to pay "real wages".
Of course, we shouldn't compare ourselves anymore with Accenture, EY, and other project implementation Cos. Doing Business Consulting is different from Body Shopping, where you live by the contract, weeks/months. Fits well with the overall objective, reduce workforce - now drop employees off after a contract is over. Another easy way out....
While I don't deny that there are really bad decisions made by legacy HPE / DXC - not sure if this is a bad one - considering the market DXC is in aka Pure Play services (Read Tata, Infy and Wipro type of asian companies).
