Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Dear John Letter

Dear John,

It became obvious on last night's earning call that you were wrong and your plan is still failing even into the results for the rest of the year. In the quest for ever greater shareholder value (and thus your pockets), you have dealt many, many thousands of people significant life setbacks. Your CORE values are doublespeak.

Did you honestly believe you could arbitrarily replace experienced staff without any impact on delivery or DXC reputation? Did you really believe that you could switch DXC from being known as a struggling "your mess for less" outsourcer to a shining light in the Cloud? Yet you stated that you will continue to lay off experienced high income technical resources in "complex" work locations and more middle management. Great plan!!! That will solve delivery problems how??

Yes, there is less demand for IT infrastructure with companies going to AWS and Azure, but instead of excelling at both you sacrificed the IT outsourcing business and quality loyal employees in a bid for a quick transition and higher margins to fatten your pockets. So impressive that you can make the hard choices.

As an outsourcing company head, you would think you should know that transitions never go as planned or are you too removed from the needs of your clients and the suggestions of your "resources" to even have a clue? Have you tuned them out to focus only on the board and shareholders? Ever heard of balance? What an amazing leader you have become.

Honestly, you've made enough already. Please retire. It cannot get any worse without you and may actually improve. No matter what you do, may Karma give you what you have earned. With. Interest.

This is playing out exactly how it’s suppose to except he didn’t get cost out enough. If he has another chance, better believe he will. This isn’t about building a great company guys, wake TFU.

Dear John letter for HR's most famous John, can't make this stuff up. If stock goes down to $25 next week, JML has gotta go.

It’s funny DXC is trying to convert itself into a pure consulting company that’s what digital really means And consulting companies are only as good as their employees.

And Mike Laurie treats his employees like sh– so of course our company is going to fail there’s no way the stack is ever going to get better there’s no way we’re gonna keep getting clients we might as will just give up now

I'd say this was exactly the same scenario as the NHS disaster that k–led Laphen.

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/dxc-technologys-stock-takes-deepest-dive-in-18-years-2019-08-09?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo

This article is saying that this was the "DXC's biggest loss in 18 years" - which some of you might think "but its only 2 years old", but they are talking about DXC being a continuation of CSC.

So, painted like that, this is worse than when Laphen c–ked up the NHS contract.

Like Laphen's disaster, the underlying detail isn't public yet, but I am sure it will be sooner or later.

BTW when Mikey rolled into town, he criticised the former leader for poor corporate governance.. for having too much power.... yet he too made himself chairman, president and CEO.

Missing from your post, Signed - Ex-Steak Cutter.

BTW, this is getting worse than NHS debacle a few years ago and he was brought in after that. Way overdue but he has got to go now otherwise board is even more worthless than I would have ever thought possible.

Nothing will change - People will get WFR, work outsourced to cheaper cost centres, Mike and board making more and more $$/££ - share price going up and down... Don't really care about investors or the board losing much but the hard working grunt on the ground I care about.

"it is taking longer to eliminate the head count as we automate’

This dear friends is how they see us, ‘head count’, what an absolute shower of Bar stewards these people (I use term lightly), are. Anyone who holds shares in this appalling company deserves to see their investment being staffed up the wall. Down from over $100 per share to $35 or so.

I feel sorry for loyal, hardworking people being sh– on.

Good luck to anyone left.

Karma on him any anybody who has profiteered from inflicting pain on hard working people trying to get along in society.

I swear he has contributed to people’s deaths. I know of one person in the UK who never told anybody she had cancer and was at an advanced stage. She died suddenly and word got out. Of course taking time off when your dying would mean you were likely to lose your job in the next round of cuts.

A guy I was made aware of, he’s wife was terminal and he would take his laptop to the hospital to work. Wtf has society come to. That mother f—er won’t even let people die in peace and dignity.

I pray to God that if he’s intentions were to line his pockets at the expense of us staff, then he has the most miserable death in human history. Tens of thousands of people’s lives he has impacted for his Florida beach mansions.
