Wow, just wow!
If Sal said that, he's even more delusional that Lawrie, and that's quite an achievement.
I'd hoped that Sal would transform the company, and I gave him 12 months to show that he would. I left, as if was clear after his first 12 months that he either wouldn't, or couldn't change the culture of DXC.
I only ever had excuses as to why bonus couldn't be paid (apparently a '1' at appraisal doesn't mean anything), saw my colleagues being culled at least 4 times a year, realised that promotions don't happen......
I tried twice for voluntary WFR and was rejected twice - apparently I'd been "saved". It didn't feel like being saved, it felt like being condemned. The final straw for me was when I was "saved" because the company needed me in a Programme Director role, but when I got there I discovered that 60% of the team I was supposed to be running, you guessed it, had been made redundant and the client was already seriously unhappy. I put my notice in there and then, without a new job to go to. It wasn't worth the stress of trying to placate the client on one side, and the chronically understaffed team on the other.
The market has been so good that I left DXC on Friday, and started the new job that I'd found whilst working my notice on the following Monday.
