1 or 2 resignations weekly on an account of 110 FTE. New hires are declining offers. We are supposed to be in growth mode. It ain’t working buddy. Try harder.

For those looking to leave DXC for better work opportunities, all I can say is, keep applying everyday. Don’t give up. Keep applying and good things will come.
I worked for HP in Pontiac, Michigan starting in 2015 and was let-go in 2017 for calling off on Easter Sunday. I, however, had another job lined up at that point and didn’t care that much. Management wasn’t happy with me after that point because I could no longer cover their 14-hour Friday shift.
All this place is, is a stepping stone for your career. I pounded away on indeed.com and other sites and did not stop till I was out of DXC for good. In April of 2017, I was offered a great paying job with a great company that cares about its employees. Til this day, I am so ever grateful that I encouraged myself everyday to find a better job and I did just that!
I was supporting 4-5 clients on the weekend, at a $14.05 per hour rate. No advancement, no growth, no raise, no compensation, I knew it was time to exit. Take my advice from someone that’s been there.. keep looking and don’t stop. I only offer these words for encouragement.
Thank you!
That‘s how it started with me too - more homeoffice.
I‘ve been with the company for nearly 10 years but it only got crap since the merge. Everything changed for me. But I was in denial for too long. It couldn‘t end this way after all that time, right? No, it could. And it did.
I am looking forward to the summer off. Need to clean my head, recover and start over somewhere better. There are so many testimonials from those who had left already on here are are much better off...
Reading theLayoff actually gave me courage. :-) Make arrangements, get your things in order and leave. You can do it.
Congratulations on your new found freedom... I am working my way out. Was in the office, got the sniffles from the human petri dish that are offices now a days, just decided to work from home. No permission, no asking, just did it.
Funny part is my manager has not asked me to come back. Seems I am not the only one. A few others just left to work from home. The move was a good thing in that I am actually more productive and less stressed about work.
I am still planning to leave though. I really don't want DXC on my resume for too much longer.
Digital transformation is as much about restructuring your actual real business processes and discarding moribund empires and "but we've always done this" as it is about IT.
Its the latest idea like ERP and its likely to fail just as hard.
Just buying Office 365 and running your old apps on AWS is not digital transformation, that's just an IT upgrade.
DXC hasn't got a f'ing clue about digital transformation, its not even the right place to ask for it.
Certainly Mikey has shown that he's not even capable of doing it to DXC - his "transformation" is just a nihilistic destruction and asset strip of two once proud IT companies. Transforming them from functional into dysfunctional, broken and incapable of delivering anything.
Backup engineers are not longer required in the future of IT. Backups are automatic in almost all Cloud configurations. In fact the Backup staff were redundant long ago, the only thing it that it has not caught anybody's eye.
They take a crappy backup very well but unable to restore any data. It should be called restore team instead of Backup team.
By the way - IT is always "digital" :-) - the analogue days are way behind us... :-)
BEST comment on this site is a long time!
@ycv Completely agree - DXC has no strategy. "Sell more shiny digital stuff" is not a strategy.
I have also not seen a clear example of "digital transformation" - Nefkens once referred to Backup as an example of digital "stuff". DXC has no clue...
I just resigned. It took me 6 months to make it happen. But staying here is like rotting alive. I have no job lined up but I don’t care. I need to breath again.
Here’s to many more who set themselves free!
Leave the sinking ship and move to a company that flourish on vision of management.
Their is no vision in DXC... they only cut jobs and start spreading this "going digital" around.
I am to cynical - they are years to late with this "digital transformation" and do they even know what this really means? I never heard a real example during the webcasts.. Automatisation of the business processes has always been there.
By the way - IT is always "digital" :-) - the analogue days are way behind us... :-)
Growth mode means employees are growing in other jobs outside DXC.
Within DXC there is no growth and will not be any growth for the next 3 years if it lasts till then.
What account and it has been like this for years.
