Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Coming from someone related to one of the UK force facing redundancy, judging from what she said, this is simply part of a much longer term plan to move almost everything 'off-shore'.. The UK is going to be hit hard

If you make it into 2018, your certainly not out of the fire..

most of the DXC internal URLs point back to hoe.com or hp.com

this looks like a short term exercise to slaughter the worker and make him work for almost free with these shipwrecks.

this was probably already discussed in the June 2017 Bilderberg conference , held at Westfield Marriott Hotel where the elites worldwide come together discussing strategies on how to increase their profits and screw the common man

@OjJ3ajv-3rnq- this is a common theme in this organization nowadays... Other customers sites are also facing missed deliverable paying penalty or customers dissatisfaction is the norm. Some customers realized they are being held "hostage" are looking at option-b, option-c, etc. The top is only interested in short term gain. But in reality...their style of being penny wise and pound (or dollar) foolish is what become of this organization strategy...If they can fool the stock market to artificially inflated the value without any real organic growth...this company will be ripped and ready for acquisition/merger by/with another company..This is much like the banking/financial merger/acquisition phenomenon...what was the root cause? Unethical conduct of the executives lead to the melt down of economy...Guess what? DXC is the trend-setter to repeat the same...another tech sector melt down..

The general UK vr mail was withdrawn about 1 hrs after it was sent.

I suspect to many people applied for it and crashed the web site.

What a company

I heard this week of a team member on 'the list' for next week. Last US resource on the team. No backup to replace them. I wonder how the accounts are going to feel about that.

I'm not a DXC employee but some of my old colleagues from ex-HPES in the UK got another voluntary WFR email today.

We don't know if we'll be her next weel... leave alone 2018!

: @OjJ3ajv-1nau, it's not that extreme. They will continue to carry out WFRs to artificially inflated the shares value (stocks) then proceed to sell the company as if it is "cash" rich...

Is the company trying to avoid bankruptcy?

@OjJ3ajv-1qwr- agreed. Have you heard of borrow from Paul to give it to peter? They may not be so bold not to pay...but more of a delay tactic. For example, gauging the net result of WFRs comparing to P&L before they decide when to pay. Of course, there is a remote possibility they are so messed up the accounting is out of wack.. imagine the lesser of the two evils? Sad state is the better description of this organization ...

Or they are they are trying to set it up good. As in, it was the system update we had to do that changed all the debts to PAID in the system.. We told people it was going to happen and we would pay it still. In one of the the endless stream of b---s--- promotion and plan emails

RIght. It looks like that so bad that I can't imagine they are.. Anyone would think that, including myself, but that has serious repercussions so I can't imagine they would do blatlely obvious things like not paying bills. Especially when it comes to employees being harassed by Am Ex and possibly destroying their credit. Obviously attorneys get involved then it draws attention and someone, or several, would get corporate misconduct charges. So that makes me think they simply don't have the cash flow to pay things. Time will tell..

@OjJ3ajv-1inp, so sorry you are having problem with the supposedly "company issued" credit card.

I heard from multiple employees are facing the exactly same issue and more!! The company is playing with the "book" to "fudge" the gains/losses so the stocks can be artificially inflated. I'm sure it does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out... it is so messed up that they can care or less who will stay or leave. Exactly what is the other post stated most "leadership" are near retirement age (or should have already retired), all they care is to stuff a few more millions $$ in their golden parachutes... the future of the company is not a priority... the employees well beings are not even on their mind...

They haven't paid their employees corporate credit cards in 4 months as well as WFRing people at an insane pace. Or most other bills from what I have heard. i have Am EX calling me daily threatening collections even though it is approved business travel and they know it. Can't get a reply from expense email we have to communicate with them either. I'm at the point where I think I need to speak with an attorney and show them the proof because they could care less about any of us being sent to collections apparently. Something fishy going on when they are all marked as "paid" in the system for the employees, but they are not actually paid. That was because of a system issue they say. Smoke and mirrors I say they know what they are doing. Least when first quarter is over soon maybe they will pay the damn bills for their employees. If they aren't in collections already..

@OjJ3ajv

If you make it to 2018 with a job a DXC you are probably not in the level/pay-bracket that they want to get rid of. Is is all to do with revenue. If they can replace you with some "wet behind the ears" graduate at one third to one quarter of your salary they will do it. The slashing of the workforce will continue to the point the company liquidates. Although, there is a possibility it will continue in some form in SE Asia or some other continent where employment laws and minimum salaries are not a legal issue. Unions!? Forget it. They will happily drop you like a hot potato if you even raise the issue with the "leadership". The current management are in the "nearing retirement" age bracket... they are only thinking about the new fancy golf buggy they are going to be able to purchase with their golden parachute retirement packages, which I'm sure have already, before they took their positions, were negotiated. It's a downward spiral for DXC. They missed the boat on the direction technology/IT/services. They are way out of their league and not competitive. They have nothing to offer. The problems cannot be fixed.... they are deep rooted and the seeds were sown over a decade ago via HP/HPE/CSC. It's a dead horse which will be flogged for 2 years max... in my opinion!

2018 redundancies?

Yeah, that sounds about right.

I admire whoever started this thread still believes in the goodness of humanity... yes me too. We will know only when it happen's, we wont know who or how many and won't ever be told.

We will notice emails coming back with sender unknown or Skype will show the account as no longer valid.

Per Google today Number of employees: 170,500 we'll see how that number looks in the coming months.

Just like the show Game of Thrones, Winters coming and there is no way to stop it

Given the past and current track record of WFRs thus far, why one is holding hope there will be transparency or information sharing contributors actually care enough so that employees can make plan to jump ship?

I admire whoever started this thread still believes in the goodness of humanity... especially from the decision makers of DXC.. good luck in getting the truth..

We don't have an union, so if only people can contribute on what they know (not blatant false news), so atleast that would help the large dxc employee pool.
