Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

I hate being a DXC MIM aka HPIM

I have worked on the UK Major Incident Management team aka the "High Priority Incident Management" team and let me tell you it is a sorry place to work. We are paid well under what our job spec would entail and most of us dont even make £25k a year. Before they left I had one colleague who didnt even make £20k a year

Working extra hours is an expectation of our job, we dont get paid for it and the promise of time off in lieu is rubbish cos we dont have enough staff. We dont even get paid for on call now as the BAE command center have taken it off us so were not paid for anything now.

We get pushed in front of angry customers and used as human shields by the account managers and some of us are at risk or have had heart attacks and strokes from the stress. Its not worth it, avoid at all cost.

Josh I think it's time you got over it. You've been gone months and still can't stop talking about DXC.

If MIM is just been seen as a admin function (note takers) then they are not adding value and DXC is once again missing the point of real MIM. Going by comments it seems there is no distinguishing between business bridges (where the managers and account team can run around as if they are on fire and the world is ending, and eventually take ownership of the business comms) and the technical bridge (where the techies work out what needs to be done and get on and do it) - the tech bridge then updates the business bridge and ultimately calms them down and if required seeks business sponsorship for service restoration activities (approval of emergency change requests etc). A good MIM leader is in effect an incident commander and drives the issue to resolution, and owns it - and they do NOT get paid 25k pounds.
Clients will pay for this, but in the earlier notes it sounds like key clients (BAe) have their own team doing this and DXC has been relegated to admin support functions - another DXC delivery fail.

@hrc+1ohy7sJO MIM can add value just the way it operates there at the moment is a bit cr-p. Blame how the client operates. If youve wver been on a BAE major incident its got about 5 different client service managers on it when really they should be going away and leaving MIM / techies to drill it down

The Major INC I have been in have too many people so they go on and on. A smaller group of true technical people and a manager of affected area is needed.

MIM’s are note takers and really shouldn’t be paid a lot.
