Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Huge cuts incoming?

DXC's targets are to reduce offices from 50 to 26 by Mar 2020; reduce staff by 5.9%, or 10,000 staff of its 170,000 employees by the end of the year and have at least 53% of it workforce with digital skills over next 3 yrs, which means getting rid of non-digital people and buying in low-cost grads, automating half the tickets and bringing in hire-to-fire staff.

Obviously clients are helping with this 'transformation' by not renewing contracts.

Did I miss something? Where did the above information come from?

@QgJ45R3-1coo - I bet that is the CSC count of employees (i.e., the supposed HPE employees are not included in that number). It turns out that you can't find or get information on the HPE employees through DXC. I tried to get information for/on myself. Couldn't do it. They didn't know me. Had a hard enough time just finding a phone number to call. There is no US number listed in the contact info for DXC. Only foreign. Finally found it on a Bloomberg post earnings post for DXC. Checked my pay stub and see that the company is 'Enterprise Services' now. Not DXC. I have been WFR'd just recently and they have made it very hard to contact them for information on my employment.

What do you mean " digital skills "? We are all in the computer business!

The definition of a digital is the most commonly used type of computer and is used to process information with quantities using digits, usually using the binary number system

The formal definition, my grand kids already mastered!

Digital literacy is the set of competencies required for full participation in a knowledge society. It includes knowledge, skills, and behaviors involving the effective use of digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop PCs for purposes of communication, expression, collaboration and advocacy.

Digital capability: the 5 areasThe framework sets out the 5 main areas of digital capability, and sets out in detail what each category means for both individuals and organisations. By using a common measurement framework to determine levels of digital skills we can ensure that everyone achieves the same minimum standards. Safety and security are incredibly important and run across all 5 categories.Access the framework using the links below or download a printable version (PDF 339 KB)

The 5 areas are:Managing information

Communicating

Transacting

Problem solving

Creating

BULL Sh--, another name for the same dam thing! It's all Data Processing, old school name but the same dam thing

I've been on this site for three years, reading and posting on HPE page and here. No one ever complained that his/hers message was altered in any way. They keep all posts intact. But they have few rules, though. Can check their rules at the bottom of the page. In short, they don't allow revealing any personal info (naming names), nor using foul language (personal insults, bullying and racism). And if you violate one of their rules, site admins nuke all your messages and block your IP.

So, as long as you respect others, you won't be blocked.

The Layoff.com deletes and blocks IPC addresses of several messages and people. Not right. We should all have the freedom to speak our minds. If you notice there are rarely any new fresh messages. Message that are shown are usually days old. KEEP the current messages intact Layoff.com
