July has came once again and almost gone and again, same as last year haven't heard a word about raises, cost of living. Last year it was brushed under the rug and never addressed, like we are too stupid to remember. Any info about this years insult?

Raises? El Paso DXC site salaries range from 35k to 55k on average for developers I to III... way below average and adding more contractors instead of full time employees....
in most of the organization, there is few key person that manage the team/division and have good relationship with the employee. If there is no proper compensation for this people, once they leave, the company will be in drastic penalty. Worst than what they can think off.
Raises and bonuses are flat for everyone except executives and sales staff that exceed targets. The rest of the workforce is dead weight. 50% increase in healthcare plan costs and normal inflation make this a losing proposition. Either stick around for a minimal severance package or get a raise by getting out. I expect this from the company as a U.S. employee because I am "high cost," but even my junior employees in low cost countries can't get raises or promotional opportunities under this new system and I am losing most of them to other companies as well.
Raise.... whatever this company is just laying off if you think your safe then you are mistaken they let go even if it impacts their larger clients. the company seems to be only here to file and close down in the near future.
How much does Nick W earn?
Raises? How about raising the number of WFRs?
They are getting rid of anyone dxc, it is the attempt to weed out anyone from before dxc was brought into action
Pay raises are administered by companies that strive to succeed. They understand that without a dedicated workforce, long term success is extremely difficult. DXC does not fall into this demographic. It was birthed out of the necessity to unload dead weight out of HPE. Severance frequency has been accelerated, severance packages have been reduced, and pay raises are not part of the plan. As noted in an earlier post, leadership is cashing in with astronomical pay increases while the producers remain flat. Yes I am part of the dead weight. But I've received 3%-7% annual pay increases every year for the past decade. So I'll continue to ride this horse until it either throws me into the dirt or collapses.
We have heard that only a minuscule portion of our office will get a pay increase. That is because the majority of us were put into the 'Driving' category whilst a minuscule portion was allocated as 'Accelerating'. Ironically the levels were based on how important your delivery role was in retaining the client, more than if you were a hard working achieving employee (which I feel most of us are). Having said that many of our office have obtained large pay-rises in the last few months - elsewhere! We are nearly down to skeleton figures. My role is not as highly sort for outside, so will just await the impending WFR (or Value Capture as DXC likes to call it). At least I'll have a few $$ in my pocket (via my countries current policy) whilst I continue to look for other work. Sooner rather than later but that policy, of course, changes!

DON'T LOOK FOR A RAISE, IT'S IN THEIR POCKETS. you do the work, they go to the bank!
This year it will be brushed under the rug too and not addressed. We are at the point where it is beyond clear that the powers that be care about us as employees.
I agree with another poster who stated... "Get out as fast as you can."
You do DXC a favor by saving the paperwork needed to WFR you. Most importantly you do yourself a favor by working for a company that cares more about you and provides you the salary and benefits for you and your family.
This company does not exist with just a bunch of leaders. Just move on.
I got a raise by leaving. Resigned walked away from 'package' and got that amount + sanity from new employer. Victim mentality is harsh and real-like an addiction.
I just got a $21k/year pay raise by taking an offer with another company. I'd be lucky to see a 1% pay raise from DXC this year. No one in my org got a raise last year, or the year before (which is basically like getting a pay cut, if you factor inflation!)
Why bother? Get out as fast as you can.
This is one area where I am glad I left. I left HPE in March 2016. Since I have been with my new company I have gotten three raises: The first one walking in the door, making more money than HPE was ever going to pay me. The second one 4 months into my new job because "everybody gets (a raise)". And my regularly scheduled annual raise this year.
All of the hard workers at HPE & DXC deserve better.
Yea the whole issue of putting goals in work day are useless and the goals we get from management for no direct relationship to what we do as technical people. There will be no pay increases for the rank and file anytime soon.
It's still a employer market and they can and will screw you over , because what is your choice, jobs are not that easy to come by, unless you want to work 70 - 80 work weeks and be on call all the time
Not sure where you're located but it was announced on a UK all hands call recently that the legacy CSC July pay review would no longer be happening, and that future pay reviews would be on an ad-hoc basis.
@OqdMmqi-qse I sadly have to agree. DXC is turning into a sub-contracting house.
I moved to a higher role years ago. With salary curve 2 grades higher then the one I had before.
Although I perform the role 6 years now - successfully - I am still the same level as before (specialist - for someone with high ranking, engineering degree, post graduate, PMP and ITIL certified and +20 years experience). I have had many promises in the past, but what I learned working for HP: managers move on and promises are never kept. I feel exploited as I do work as expert in my field, need to step everytime in if there are issues and need to solve it, people know I will deliver... but my former colleagues do not have neither the degree as the experience, but they are higher in level as me. I only get the nice words and the one time e-awards (that are so highly taxed in my country that you hardly keep anything)
Raises....yeah sure. By the end of 2018 you probably won't even have a job.
Retention offer?, that's funny. You're more likely to be WFR'd than given any extra money.
The only way to get a raise is to get an offer from another organization and hope DXC will give think highly enough of you to give you a retention offer.
