It is very clear that DXC cannot care less about us or about the customers. I will leave this place because I believe that such treatment will not change. At least not anytime soon. I wonder what miracle it would take for this company to finally start thinking about employees as a valuable asset? What would have to happen for the leadership to finally start valuing employees more?

Has anyone seen significant new contracts in the last year?
DXC has lost the confidence of the customers. Same what happend with CSC. After annoying the customers, the needed to buy contracts - at that time HPE ES.
Again it's the shrink cost faster than customer are ableto leave game.
A lot of companies seem somehow to muddle through. Staffed by one set of people who don't really care, and another set who are playing at being too busy to do much more than tell you how busy they are. DXC will be here in some form long into the future. The clients need their IT outsourced so that someone else takes the risk. The game is to do as little as possible to maintain the contracts, while charging for fluff and keeping the clients tied up in paperwork. They want it does that way, that's the way it will be done. Don't give us any real work, the people who did that left long ago.
I had the misfortune of getting stuck at DXC until 2021, wasting 3.5 Yrs of my career... stupidly on my part, this was the second time i got caught with misplaced loyalty - I wasted about 5 years at Novell in 90's.
So what is my point? No, not to reveal what a twot I have been, but to confirm to all I recognise the 'shrinking pattern' it is set! I am a qualified "fool me twice" expert!
So plan your exit before it is planned for you, the former will be less painful - remember this is a 'when' not an 'if'...
I recall when Mike Shout-vino took over. He said, "We're going to look after our staff and our staff are going to look after our customers." That was one of his first Town Hall sessions.
Well, Mikey, you didn't do what you said, did you???
His approach to looking after staff seems to be to get rid of them just as fast as he can. That means that there are no staff to look after the customers.
So it's clear. The leadership of DXC lies to their staff. DXC is also the only company I've worked for where I was instructed to lie to clients.
DXC will not think about employees as a valuable asset. DXC thinks of employees as a cost that can be removed to increase quarterly profits and put more money into Shout-vino's bank account.
There are leaders who value customer service, quality of service and understand that they can’t grow unless they have the trust and belief of the employees in what they are doing, they reward their staff and lead and demonstrate core moral and ethical values from the top down with honesty and transparency,
Then there is DXC leadership.
This will never happen because the objective is to make Salvino big money and sell the company.
Lawrie sold NA NPS for big money. Made himself the CEO there too.
DXC’s strategy has always been to sell, the less staff the better the price and more likelihood of a sale.
