Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Nothing New Under the DXC SUN

If you are miserable at DXC I encourage you to embrace change and do what you need to do to take charge of your life and career.
I got WFR'd from DXC two years ago I am so happy that it happened. I had not gotten a raise or bonus for 5 years despite getting high performance reviews for 3 of those 5 years.
I last visited The Layoff about 1.5 years ago. I got curious and logged in tonight to see what's new at DXC. Well, it seems nothing is new! I see the same topics being discussed. Cr---y leadership, cr---y pay, no raises, no bonuses, and understandably, terrible morale.

Here is what happened after that WFR call with my DXC manager two years ago:
Three hours after the call: I realized I was quite happy to have been WFR'd. I would be leaving a a company I did not like and finally acknowledged how miserable I'd been for the past couple years at DXC. I emailed a manager at my customer's company; I'd enjoyed working with him for many years. Great guy, great team. Three days later, he told me he had a job for me! My final two weeks with DXC were just kicking off, but I already had a new job! I left DXC with full severance because I had about 18 years of service credit via my jobs with HP and HPE. I also got paid medical insurance for a few months and of course, my final paycheck. I took a fully paid break for a month before I started the new job.
I started at my new (and current) company with a base salary that is over $50k higher than my DXC salary. My new boss knew what I could do and valued my experience, and the salary scales here are much higher grade than DXC. I got a $10k sign on bonus and 5 weeks vacation. I got much better benefits. We also have an excellent Performance Recognition program that is tied to individual performance and company performance/profit; I got a pretty decent bonus at the end of the year one.
Year two is done. I got a nice raise and performance totaling over $20k.
Note: I am doing the same type of job that I did at DXC.
In summary; in the last two years my take home pay is more than $140k over what I would have made at DXC.
DXC Leadership - I am so grateful that you WFR'd me. I am at a much better company making significantly more money and I feel valued and respected.
Good luck to you all. Please do what you need to do to take care of yourselves.

Thank you for the detailed write up. You seem to be an extremely conscientious person. Very articulate and sure you are a smart techie from the stables of HP HPE (the icons of Silicon Valley). Having said that, what we are left with here is a bunch of overpaid, entitled yahoos who ride on hardworking coworkers.
