So, no payrises or bonuses in the UK again this year. That’s 6 year on year no gains, ironically, I came home to two utility bills that have gone up roughly 3% each last night . Where is the incentive to do well? What is the point! Every worker no matter what job they do, needs a carrot. With interest rates likely to rise in the UK over the next year or so, people’s bills will go up yet their income is going down. I know we’re dealing with the most greedy, selfish pig of a man and his girlfriend. But surely a happy workforce is a productive one! Everyone knows that apart from our ayatollah!

I know someone who got offered an external job then took a counter from DXC. The raise was over 25%.
Where is the incentive to do well? It's your job to do well or get fired.
Now with no raises do only what you have to do, no extra , not a lot of overtime without pay.
@SiwQWXd-2otl that is absolute BS buddy. I know a guy who lived at work killed himself pretty much smart guy he never got a raise cause the company didn't want to spend money. He told me it was very hard to get motivated. Not surprising he left when a better opportunity arrived. This example is not about DXC. It just shows that no a company will not give you a raise even if you put the work and performance in. They care only about saving money.
Dcan't say I found the pay to be that bad when I worked there. I know the flex allowance was higher than most other companies. Perhaps not as high as hpe, but not bad. Ok, so there were no raises and you went along thinking 'well at least I got a job' ( although I hated it when they kept using that as an excuse and telling you that 'we' as a company didn't meet its numbers) "Then why is Mike and his cohorts giving themselves nice fat bonuses if we didnt do well?"
I can live without a pay rise if I enjoy the work. But the environment in DXC, as I can recall, was absolutely toxic and made me hate every day I was there. Now Iam happy, get to meet clients, got company iPhone (std issue), lappy and travel again. Yeah, I can still whinge about certain practices, but no longer in a depressing place. Ugh
I may not get a bonus now, but I do, like all of my firms staff, get a profit share at end of year with a fixed percent based on company results and same percent for everyone, regardless of rank and none of that KRA crud. You get it for just turning up.
There is no incentive or culture at DXC to do anything beyond the absolute bare minimum required by your job. Over-achievers are not rewarded and are just as susceptible to being WFRs as those who skate by. Just having a job without additional reward incentives isn't going to produce the kind of innovative above-and-beyond employees companies claim to want.
DXC is a place you show up to just to collect a paycheck - nothing more, nothing less.
Don’t feed the Troll guys and gals! Glad I don’t work with such an absolute charmer like VCB, I bet he has his tongue right up the crutch of his manager and prays on his DXC Praywr Mat every morning before work. Never heard so much crap in all my life. Tosser!
Ok so Mr abusive seems to be completely missing the point, nobody seems to be getting raises and the only bonuses are retention bonuses. The clue is in the name it is given to retain you because they are concerned you might leave! They are not rewarding you because you’ve done well, it is merely blackmail because they’ve cut the resource to the bone and you leaving will only cause them contractual pain. If staff don’t get inflationary payrises they don’t spend money, they tighten the belts and this affects other parts of industry, housing market etc! I wonder how many people at DXC have taken a mortgage out in the last few years? It is not as simple as moving jobs for a lot of people! it would be a lot easier and probably gain them much more for DXC to treat their staff with respect and give them a tangiabke reward. A lot of us are doing the work of many people! Btw I, probably like a lot of people have excelled at every appraisal I’ve had, but still didn’t get a raise! I have respect for my client, I have the highest integrity and it comes to something when even the clients feel sorry for you! It’s incensitising to know the directors are taking out millions in selling shares! I feel so spurred on!
SiwQWXd-2gph: you are a real class act. Calling people names for speaking Truth. I must have really ruffled your delicate feathers.
FYI I do work here; probably longer than you’ve been alive. I’ve worked with many successful people and I have also seen many losers come and go. I survive and thrive by working hard, keeping my skill set current, and producing positive results for the company. This is not rocket science
And contrary to your snowflake mentality, there are spans of time, sometimes years, where no pay raises are administered. It all depends on the overall economy and business strength.
So I repeat: if you are not getting raises or bonuses while your peers are, look in the mirror. You are obviously not worth the boost. Harsh but true.
@SiwQWXd-1vsx Ya - One of 3 things. 1) you're a dumb a-- 2) you have never worked at DXC/HPE/CSC 3) You're just a sh-- head. People at Frankenstein don't get raises or bonuses or anything. So unless you work here, you have no idea what the pain is. Please go away.
Which job on this planet does not give raises ? You cannot keep anyone long term if you dont give people bonuses or raises. Most people at DXC dont get overtime cause they are salary. If you dont see you are getting bent over without lube by DXC may god help you.
Regarding the reply, “Oh you need an incentive to do your job?
Ok, here ya go.
Do your job or lose your job.”
This is spot on. No, I’m not an old HP manager or someone sympathetic to the company cause. But this is just plain and simple business practice. The company is going to pay you only as much as you are worth. To do otherwise is fiscally irresponsible. If you can’t compete with those who ARE getting the increases, I suggest you either leave or take a good, long look in the mirror. To blame others for your shortcomings is immature and juvenile.

We do our jobs day in and day out, nights, weekends and get no pay raise in years. Trump with the tax cut said everyone on is the US should get at least $1,000 raise and yet we get nothing.
You say find something else, where I am looking but can't find anything for a person 55 and over, where I don't have travel 4 - 6 hours a day too and from work.
Then DXC has the nerve to say BYOD and when we do on out own money, they have to have access too it. Enough is Enough.
STOP sending jobs to India and aboard. Pay the American workers, so they can in turn go out and buy American goods, so American companies need more IT services and come to DXC. We win if the employee's get more money.
Oh you need an incentive to do your job?

Do your job or lose your job. Welcome to 2018, it appears you are in desperate need of a wake up call, and I do believe you'll be receiving it very soon.

Youre a cheerful cun*t arent you? Sounds like something an old HP manager would say. Well in todays world, you pri*k, people need incentives in order to do 5 f---*ing jobs and they only get paid for 1. If you dont give it to them, they go somewhere else and this is the end of a company. Guess what, is happening already :)
AT&T has given a 10% salary hike in March 2018. Network team who moved to AT&T have benefited.
Luckily in Malaysia we are having increments next month...albeit a small one
I quit HPE just over a fifteen months ago.
Took a 15% raise to go to a new employer.
Better, cheaper benefits, more vacation, less BS...
Just had our reviews. A 4%+ raise, and a 12%+ bonus.
I almost fell off my chair.
Should've quit years ago.
Jo Mason is unqualified to do the job she holds that is why DXC HR is such a shambles. She was a typist/secretary until she became Mike Lawrie's girlfriend. The workers are the ones struggling to keep this car crash of a company afloat whilst the little fat man and his clueless dope of a girlfriend are milking them dry.
lol..but the managers sure are getting raises for cutting people
@SiwQWXd-vcb : Respect is a two way street . Apparently you have never learned that . So, all I can assume is that your are either a company man, a droid, or one of the heartless individuals who do not understand the value of compensation for valued resources. Karma is a b--ch in itself , you don't have to be one too.
Where have they said there are no bonuses? The Incentive scheme announced last year said there would be bonuses if the company met it's end of year figures. Those figures aren't out yet, so how can the decision have been taken?
Not quite true to say 'no pay rises or bonuses in the UK this year'. Some HAVE received pay rises - see the 'Retention Bonus' thread below.
The bonus situation will be decided after the end of the fiscal year and depends partly on your performance; if you are after a bonus, then that is your incentive.
People stay at a company for different reasons. At the end of the day it is up to you whether you put up with the situation or choose to move on. The company doesn't care much either way...
DXC use the 'carrot and stick' approach. This is where you take the carrot and you stick it up their *g a, followed by the stick, followed by an even bigger, rougher carrot.
