Salvino has a good reputation. History is usually an indicator of ones compass. He has one that values people, integrity and work ethic. He will have a big mess in his hands that will take time to clean up. ML has a track record of wreckage and that’s now behind us.
Can we all give the new guy a chance and reasons to believe in us by showing up with renewed hope? If you are angry, let’s use this moment to dust ourselves off after years of ML’s carnage. Give MS a reason to have hope in us. Sincerely, and for the sake of our future.

Nah, the original comment is from Jo to both Mickeys.
Sounds like the initial comment was from an exec that received equity and a bonus schedule from dxc. selfish.
define "top 300 customers"
Ranked by what?
Current profit margin?
Current gross profit?
Size of customer company?
Top customer satisfaction levels?
Biggest projected sales pipeline?
Closest to resigning or signing for new projects?
All of those things are important and if you ran that for all of DXC's customer base each of those top 300's will yield a widely differing view of "top" and choosing any one view would potentially drop some big $ business.
The number of DXC customers is touted at 6000.... thats a lot of business you are about to flush. It would make Mikey's reduction of a $27bn company into a $8bn one look like sanity.
Nothing will change - more of the same; cutting more overheads, offshoring stuff to lower cost centres, acquire other companies, assimilate, strip and sell
slice and dice .... that is all these 'experts' know - it will not change the direction of the company or its policy of sending to the cheapest location to enhance shareholder return
Nothing will change, will be more of the same. Salvino and thenlike are all the same.
From the drop in the market, it seems that he is not one to garish financial faith. ML’s narrative evidently resonated with the street. From his bio and history - there is limited sales and client realationships. If ML had any influence on his selection ... well one must ask “do we hire in our own image”?
From my reading and public opinion, it appears more consolidation and fire sales. ML’s tenure is a downward history of stock trend. But do not single out ML without also focusing on the BOD. The BOD represents the interests of the stock holders which clearly in terms of performance is lacking.
My exposure to clients is deep resentment of contract compliance and sense of sadness for the front line staff attempting to perform for incompetent management.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Well, even I can say that no one can be as bad as JML. He had his head up his and someone's proverbial axs. 31/12 can't get here soon enough when he will be out as board chairman also.
This is the guy who offshores as much as he could at Accenture. This guy was hand-picked by Lawrie. Who on earth does the rank-and-file have to give him a break? He needs to come in and make thing right NOW for those that remain.
What is he owed by us? What grace has he earned from us? In what world has this company engendered the slightest bit of consciousness from its rank and file?
He's a grown man. He took the job. What job? To increase investor value. Full stop. Share price. Period.
Ask yourself if you really think he can do that while making your employment experience better. Answer that question honestly before you decide how much of a chance you wish to give him.
