Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

LOL - Mike Lawrie is still earning millions, even though he left ages ago, yet I still need to go through a chain of about 5 or 6 people to sign off a travel expense claim for a few bucks. How dysfunctional is that?

Wow that's amazing. If he personally adds $18M of value of the company then that's ok, but does anyone think Salvino has added even ONE million? Our shares are continuing to plummet and he siphons off company value into his own pockets and those of his corrupt consiglieres. That's serious gangster sh*t.

If Mikey was growing the business, supporting and developing staff, enabling the sales team to sell more, then he’d be worth every cent of this and more. But right now, he doesn’t seem to be adding any value to the business at all.

What surprises me is that these world class geniuses that we pay the big bucks to are actually incapable of doing anything and have to hire McKinsey in to lead and develop things.

What kind of company pays for "expert leadership" then pays again for someone else to do it?

Actually, that's a rhetorical question, we all know...

Every employee level 1 lowest to level 6 that is not a manager should get a pay raise today ! Get rid of two in a box manager style and RIFF any manager with less than 10 direct reports.

Gone ever so quite on the pay rises T -30 now and now news of awards. why dont they just tell people what they are going to get can be that difficult to work that out by now.

If it takes this long to work out pay rises you can see why going to market will never happen as we will be in the work out strategy phase for years with layers and layers of new strategy management bieng appointed all drawing up their plans which change every 6 months resulting in yet another re-org.

Here is a couple of suggestions for immediate implementation

• 360 degree performance review for all practice partners and up. Idem dito for sales. Missed the targets or disappointing score from people: out. There is unsufficient leadership in this organization and too much buraucracy. Some of these leaders have absolutely no clue what they are talking about, they cannot imagine what a client or project looks like And they certainly do not understand IT
• fix the hiring process for leaders as it is pathetic. In the worst case 2 or 3 interviews, no assessment centers. It certainly is cheap, but the inflow of « quality » is horrifying
• rotate all general managers, country, region managers every 3 years. Cfr sap, msft and many others. The current « kings » now do whatever they like to hold on their position and the sick amount of money they drag home for not delivering projects, sales, people development
• Eliminate all the clowns hired in the m lawrie era as their DNA is toxic and they were selected for having those deficiencies.
• weed out those « causing conflict and confusion ». Do not aim for 4000 but target 15000 « leaders », you will find them.
• walk your talk. Give staff a decent raise and make relevant training (>10d) mandatory
• articulate the strategy and drive it. « The technology stack » is not a strategy!!!
• enumerate all the « changes or improvements » being realized. I have not seen 1.
• ask yourself « why is this organization not capable of generating organic growth »?

Obviously, all reflections can be ignored under the motto « if you don’t like it, leave » which is now the replacement slogan for « people first ». Alternatively’, do another survey and ignore the input again.

There is nothing 'obscene' about making 18 million bucks. If you can do it, I say go for it.

If you are making under 100K, you either have low self esteem, low IQ, substandard education, or some combination thereof.

And rather than take the low road by trying to drag the top earners down, why don't you climb out of your playpen and actually do something to improve YOURSELF?

If you don’t like it leave

Be grateful.. most of you are overpaid.

Obscene, avarice..

But since he is amoral, gets away with it
