Especially if you aspire to being upper-middle management and enjoy having your colon inspected by the kissers below you. If you are still in, get out while you can. If you get offered a redundancy, TAKE IT and run like the wind.
I just learned the hard way, that 1/3 your life with these muppets is worth nothing when THEY lose the contract you work on. "Go work for the new team. We have nothing for you, so you should quit"
To the first responder: I was a field tech on a remote customer location working FiFo, had been for over 15 years! In fact, today is my last day with them. The contract went up for tender, DXC lost the contract because as usual they were priced WAY too high. They found out they lost the contract months ago, yet did nothing in terms of trying to relocate their staff. I was one of the poor unfortunate guys at the end of the stick just keeping the customer happy and dealing with the consequences. The saying also goes "You get what you pay for..", but charging more and delivering less year on end isn't much of a sustainable business model.
Original Poster: What Contract were you working on and what new team are you referencing? They gave you the option to go work on a different team? Are you talking about the collins contract?
That middle management layer is so inept , expensive and big, needs to be trimmed and made efficient. Also get management to reapply for their jobs every 2 years with full 360 degree feedback from their own staff and customers - if they not up to the job boot them out.
Agree would transform the company from being bad to being decent, can deliver projects, can support customers without any issues, can invest in the hard working people on the ground.

All it's good at is bringing out useless new procedures, an overhead that's not required.
DXC Management and HR are simply inept. I'm sure they don't mean to but they just aren't up to the job and do nothing but damage people and morale in the some misguided attempt to "act in DXC (and your) best interest".
Starts with restrictive contracts that give the company 5 (yes five) opportunities to say you've breached your agreement not to work for a DXC client or competitor and goes from there. No pay hikes, no bench, no career path (so how you get to middle management) and just goes down hill from there.
So much for Mikey Mk2 and his employee focus.
Whole place needs a top to bottom overhaul.... hard to see when you are at the top of the mountain, raking in 17 million and believing the fantasy in pipeline.
Atos walked when they got to peek under the lid.
I tried to take VR, several times. Each time it was refused - the final time I was told I was getting it right up until about 10 minutes before I was due to leave when my manager told me "We've changed our minds, you can't go". The ruined my plans to have the summer off and find something new in the autumn.
I left anyway, as I'd had enough after just 2 years. Now happily working for a normal company again, and wondering how companies like DXC manage to keep any staff - never mind the ones who've been there 20 years and more.
