Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

If they want more, they will have to pay for it.

Some close colleagues with whom I had the opportunity to talk about it, all are now significantly more paid than they were paid for the same job here. I was satisfied with pay for a while, but back then I had a lot less work to do. Now the amount of work is much greater, and the pay should be equivalent to that.

I took the easy route for now - I only do the bare minimum. However, I wonder if it will be too late when they realize this problem because by then most of the best people might already be in some other companies where they will be paid fairly?

Think this varies by country. I’m in the UK, and if you compare “like for like”, DXC pays new starters higher salaries than Atos, Accenture, CGI, and Capgemini…. I moved to DXC from Capgemini for a 20% rise, and what turned out to be a less challenging job!

I managed to stay for just 2 years though - DXC culture is so toxic that I had enough very quickly. I also managed to get more money from my new employer than from DXC :)

our dev team has been saddled with more and more work with less resources since Mikey 1 did a whole WFR after merge, carrying on the same vein with more WFR, more offshoring and pushing good people out by both of our CEO's - had high hopes for company when Sal took over but it's the same dive company. Morale has got so bad we a) do the bare minimum b) don't do overtime c) don't do weekend d) don't over help the clients or multitude of DXC middle management riding our coat tails and getting the credit.

It has come to extent when most of our Dev team are saving their energy, spruce your CV ready and looking hard at moving away from DXC - this company is a dive.

And your point? I too only do the bare minimum and haven't done anything for almost 6 months. You say why and I'll tell you. Because I haven't been assigned any work even though I keep asking for something to do from the multiple functional area's I have WBS's for.
I used to "Do the Right thing", but its been so long I don't know if I can again
