Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Oh yeah IBM is surely giving staff bonuses and raises, go get a job there and see how long you will last. I really hate this generalization, be real a bit. DXC is terrible but other big companies are not any better

Pay review in Q1 any changes in Q2. Can kicked again. Just a carrot on a stick. Besides, who needs a pay rise when you can get RECOGNITION. As is we recognize you are a mug an we can keep expecting more while paying the same. Here what I recognize. Mikey - you and your cronies make sure you get paid and paid well, ahead of the people that make you the money. Show some leadership and put the people first. You are worse than Mikey Mk1. At least he didn't talk BS about customers and employees. He was just an old school self interested sales man.

So when they say there'll be a pay review this year were they referring to bonus, salary, both or we'll have a look and if you are really lucky might get a % or 2 which when taxed is half that? Am starting a process to apply for jobs elsewhere again. Wondering how frequently DXC will come up with a counteroffer to keep someone if they see the offer and weigh up coughing up versus telling the client?

Haven't you noticed how it ALWAYS plays out in CSC/DXC?

Here are the rules:

1) Its always been a "bad year" for workers - management bonuses are always paid, execs always meet their goals (that will be because they write the rules for the goals)

2) Your starting salary is your salary, it never changes, or at least never keeps up with inflation.

3) Promotion to achieve more money never occurs. If you take on more work or more responsibility, its without extra pay.

4) Promotion for the little people never means a grade adjustment and even if it does you probably don't want it anyway as the bigger the number the more likely you are to get WFR'ed.

5) Your salary is always "at the top of the scale" - an internal scale not based on market rates whatsoever.

6) Flex benefit costs increase every year - partly due to inflation, partly due to the company taking kickbacks from it.

7) Your appraisal rating is "calibrated" to company expectations. (I guess this means the company expects mediocre work from me in return)

And all of this garbage that grinds down morale and makes the company far less successful than it could and should be.

The problems surface every year and every year we are promised "no jam today, jam tomorrow".

I don't see how we can accept anything we are told about "turn around" until we see them finally start to share the massive wealth DXC creates.

You want to tell us its all different in "new DXC" Salvino, put your money where your mouth is because you've had plenty of time to address these issues and all we've seen is talk and a corporate colour change.

Challenging circumstances, what a load of bu11.

Every IT company has gained and is making good money in the remote working world.

IT is one area that has benefited from covid 19 as companies invest in technology, scaling up, renewal of equipment and remote working.

So saying things have been tough is a smoke screen.

Stop paying those millions of $ stock options to the top few and pay the staff like all other IT companies are doing.

Yes, The New DXC leadership team has made it abundantly clear. Given the challenging circumstances, FY21 performance ratings will be "calibrated" according to an internal benchmark to reflect what the business has achieved. Except for the leadership team itself of course, they all deserve another obscene bonus.

you are joking right? Below leadership, all employees are "costs".

The only reason you're still employed, is because leadership knows the lost business attrition rate is the fault of "costs" - There simply arn't enough of "costs" to do the work

DXC have promised that everyone will receive a pay review... I was kind of hoping for a pay rise, but I'm sure the review will be lovely. Imagine if the government tried that with teachers or nurses - good news, you are all going to have a pay review this year.

Wake up; "last chance" was several years ago.

Nothing can save it anymore.

DXC is still on a downward spiral.
Loss of revenue and customers might be slowed down, but it is still ongoing.
So DXC will set free more staff.
In such a situation. would you expect management to provide a general pay rise?

There will be some selective pay rises which will shown as example, but most of the people in delivery will get nothing.

Anything else is wishful thinking.

It's time to move on. I will send my resignation next week :-)

Another announcement recognising staff as their asset during covid.

Nearly 60,000 frontline workers at telecoms giant BT are to get a £1,500 special bonus in recognition of their efforts during the pandemic.

The group said 59,000 of its key workers will receive £1,000 in cash in June, with £500 to be awarded in shares under its employee share scheme after three years.

The payout – costing BT £110 million – is equivalent to around 5% of average employee salary, according to the group.

BT chief executive Philip Jansen said: “Our frontline colleagues and key workers have been true heroes, keeping everyone connected in this most difficult time.
