About 2 years ago, DXC had acquired a local business in my country that is known for its high customer ratings, close business relationships with its clients, and a culture of close collaboration and team building among its colleagues and managers. It was a thriving company. Many people who worked there are my friends, and some even go way back to college.
Fast forward to today, I've talked with some of the employees. One phone call even lasted 2.5 hours. In 2 years time, DXC has broken down this business by forcibly removing monetary budgets for team activities, pressure them to work from home permanently, not meet up with their colleagues, and even outright refusal from DXC to pay monetary incentives despite the contractual agreements for these employees. One employee is being bullied by other DXC employees and doesn't know how to put a stop it.
The result? Mass exodus of employees. Those that remain are burning out and call in sick because they don't know how to work in this horrid environment. Team building activities are a thing of the past. Revenue has tanked beyond belief - and it is no longer able to meet it's quarterly targets. Ensuring the wrath from senior management whom are pondering why this business is no longer thriving. Employees are downright afraid of speaking up due to possible retaliation; DXC does not have a no-retaliation policy.
What's more, DXC has acquired a reputation locally as "avoid at all costs". It is now being shunned by many professionals, and they're telling others to do the same. That is only due to the acquisition of this business.
Is this what is DXC has come down to? Buy a business, abuse it for a bit, and then possibly sell off the scraps? No wonder this place is sinking. How are you supposed to grow a flower when you strip it off its roots? Do these MBA brainwashed executives know in order to grow a business, you need to invest?
Luckily, the employees that left are now at better companies - greener pastures. What a clown company this has become.
