Legacy skilled is keeping DXC afloat , No one in their right mind would come to DXC for AWS,Azure , Google Cloud

m2 is a mole planted by Accenture to destroy the company from within, without the need to buy them out. not a conspiracy theory, just the only explanation that makes any sense.

DXC's been doing this for the last few years. Fire a bunch of people who're working for a client, then wonder why they can't deliver what they committed to deliver. Result: lose the client.

Now, after a few years of doing this, you'd think they'd have learned.... You'd be wrong. They're still WFRing billable resources. That's right folks, DXC lays off people who're actively bringing in good revenue. The level of incompetence required in leadership to do this once is high. The incompetence required to continue laying off staff who're generating revenue by working for clients, time after time, is beyond all belief.

So, DXC continues to lay off productive staff, and in doing so continues to fail in client delivery. So clients leave, and the CEO doesn't say, "Hmmm, maybe I should stop cutting." No, he says, "I'll have to cut more staff". And in doing so he increases the failure rate, and more clients leave.

Hey, Mikey! You cannot cut your way to long term sustainable business and success. This is a basic business leadership principle, and if you don't understand it maybe you shouldn't try being the CEO of a global tech company.

My goodness.
They fired technical architects, and then found themselves short of technical architects? Who could have possibly predicted that?

The keyword, if you have been following the car crash that is DXC is "Cost Take Out", abbreviated as CTO just for fun. This ia M1 era legacy, which is still continuing.

So . an architect, just like anyone else not at L2 or L3 , is a "cost". Not an asset, not a human being, not an employee even.. just a "cost" that needs to be "taken out".

Guess what, when cost gets taken out, so does revenue... something that the million dollar execs completely chose to overlook.

The rest is (or very soon will be) history.
