Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Another vote for BAE. Although other than log in, I've hardly done anything this year, but as I have a chargeable WBS code for a project which insists it "might" need me. That's all my manager cares about.

@c1 - you are bang on. Why would the customer go strategic with us when half of the employee's have lost interest in work and the executive's just here to loot and plunder.

The customers use us as handyman aka for tactical fixes and projects.

The senior executives are fully aware of this and have a strategy to maximize their take home pay.

God save dxc and the employees (executives and customers have great options)

BAE – the worst place I’ve ever worked.

Everything is painfully slow and tedious. Any work we’re asked to do quickly becomes stalled behind the pretence of “security” and “process” — rules that, in practice, seem to apply only to DXC.

Huge amounts of time are wasted waiting for access, approvals, or information. When useful work does finally get unblocked, it’s rushed through as the real focus seems to be on the documentation. Obviously the clear intention is they won’t need our involvement much longer.

Large majority of the accounts are waiting for the right moment to exit altogether. They’re using their current level of spend as leverage to push for lower prices and more concessions. There’s an unspoken but very real rule at play. They’re no longer committing to anything strategic or long-term. They’re keeping engagements short, tightly defined and easy to move to another vendor at a moment’s notice. What’s striking is that many of these customers seem more forward-thinking than our own management. They clearly understand the risk of over-dependence on us as a financially unstable partner and have been actively taking steps to reduce that dependency, even while continuing to do business with us on a tactical basis. There are a few new customers that management has been celebrating with a lot of fanfare, like Carnival, but the reality is different. These customers are value shoppers. They’re coming to us because they’re getting better pricing than they would from Indian pure-play vendors, often at the direct expense of our own profitability, leveraging the desperation of our management to show new clients in the mix. While the wins may look good on the surface, they are largely price-driven at the expense of our profitability selling vanilla services that any one can immediately take over. These are not a vote of confidence in our long-term value or differentiation.

Simply leave (if you are qualified!)
