This is one big mess

Anything to save 50p! The company is still quite happy to waste endless time and resources and thus millions in lost revenue. Staff continue to sit about pending approval to travel or allocation of yet another "task manager" who's not got a clue what's going on. We have endless urgent meetings to discuss something the client needed doing 18 months ago, which has now managed to reached the top of our pile. Delighted to get some real work we soon find they no longer need it doing after all, because they got an inhouse grad to knock up a script which does the job and proved it didn't need a 12 week project just to do a design after all - just like we said. To be fair I think the clients don't want it to work either because the sooner it fails the sooner they can get out of the contract.

I think @1fnt+1iXBqZu0 described this mess the best - "Anything to save 50p!"

This is bull sh-t, you in India may be cheaper but you do less work. if it isn’t scripted you have no clue. You all have certain up the ying lang ? but in the real world you can’t do sh-t

Thing is, DXC doesn't attract the best and the brightest because even in India they pay sh*t compared to everyone else.

They also suffer badly because the Asian locations are always in "technology parks" which enables someone to find another job by simply crossing the street to one of the other global IT players who's offices they can see from where they sit at their desk.

So DXC attract the crud, who then gain some experience before b*ggering off to their next job right at the point at which they'd finally become useful.

If DXC want the brightest, they've got to pay the best.... which they don't.

50p is worth £5 offshore.

If a person in the UK earns £30K and they find out they can earn £300K doing the same job, do you really think an opportunity like that wouldn't attract the best and brightest from the UK?

Those that are offshore know this. Their best and brightest can not only speak another language. they work harder and longer to achieve their goal of a gigantic salary increase which is still a fraction of yours in the UK.

Best to leave DXC and leave the work to the best, brightest and cheapest. Who really want to do the work and excel

IT is going the way of manufacturing. NOTHING can be done to stop it.

And here in lies the problem. While the company continues to fight itself and one division is determined to undermine another, then nothing gets done. The management have made it near impossible to deliver, the clients don't trust us either. There soon won't be a company for anyone regardless of region. People get lazy because they are beaten into submission by the management - they've made it quite clear our input is of no value. Do what you're told, if that's nothing, then so be it. So it all ends up on forums like this rather than adding value inside the organisation driving change and making things slick and efficient.
