I think this is the company with the most pretenders who do almost nothing. At least compared to other companies I've worked for so far.
What many do not mention when they tell you that the grass is much greener elsewhere and that the compensation is much higher, is that there is also a lot more work to be done.
I wouldn't want to offend anyone, but I think that the reason why many still don't leave this place is precisely because they won't be able to stick their heads in the sand and keep under the radar anymore.

There will be no pay rises. The executive leadership know that people have been systematically demoralised to the point where they suspect that trying to get a job at a better equivalent company will be really difficult. Salvino lies, lies, and keep lying. The thing is, the market is really hot right now. The only way you'll get more money and a better job is to leave DXC. The best and brightest people leave, while the scared ones (and those close to retirement) hang around, paralysed by fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD).

Hmmm. I go to work to, well, work! I don't go to work to sit around doing as little as possible all day. If you want a rewarding career, you need to put something in.
So when I joined DXC, I foolishly assumed that if I put lots in, I'd be able to have a rewarding career. After all, it worked when I was at Atos and it worked really well when I was at Capgemini. But DXC? No? Consistently dumped on by 'Leadership' for the two years that I was there before I said 'Yes' to voluntary WFR.
Mike S took over when I'd been there 10 months and I had great hope that he'd turn things around. Instead he actually increased the rate of WFR, and made the situation worse. More layoffs, more stress for those who "survived" (although it didn't feel like surviving, it felt like punishment).
After leaving, I'm now earning more $$$ and growing my career again.
Thats right! i have cut down my output each year by 8% - 10% over the last 5 years because i haven't received a pay increase even with exceeding most goals and met all the others
Absolutely bang on. This company can be divided into four categories 1. Extremely talented and ethical folks - who work very hard and not compensated enough - max 30 percent. 2. Lazy - bureaucratic - nay sayers - under the radar - no accountability - ride on the first category - definitely will not get jobs outside - pretty outdated in technology - keep preaching others to do the minimum. - roughly 40 percent. 3. Extremely overpaid execs - some looking for a good role elsewhere and some just collecting compensation - 5 to 10 percent. 4. Newly hired folks - who will figure out there is nothing much here (if we don't progress) - in their defence they are trying to do the best they can.
