If you have more than a short period of service to retire, and retire from this company,
Shut UP and find a better job elsewhere.
If you don't, its obvious that you aren't worthy of finding something better.
80% of the people I have worked with while at this company are not fit to work anywhere else and won't make it there. Dead Wood, being carried by a few.
You will never reach retirement or any type of advancement by staying with them.
Because as we all know, THE COMPANY IS TERRIBLE IN ALL AREAS.
Quit whining and make the changes you should.
Again, if you are worthy or ambitious enough.

Everyone's mental health is near rock bottom, and with more and more colleagues taking time off sick, expect the rest of us to follow.
I just wanted to do something useful. I don't want to create endless bloated paperwork, and be told we can't change anything because the already broken thing might break further. Between us and the clients they clearly don't want progress, and certainly not with DXC in charge of it.
My strategy - block out 4hrs a day in my calendar, and whenever invited to meetings say I have to drop for another. I tried making a difference - I just get told to shut up because that's not how we do things round here.
DXC has been a complete waste of my life. I clicked to resign, even that didn't work, so I'm still on the payroll, but long since left in body and spirit.
The reality is that the weight of staff in the company have been around a long time, and now in our mid 50's. The sensible ones followed the DXC ethos of don't spend money on anything, and are now happily sitting mortgage free. Just waiting for the day the company wants something doing at which point we'll quit, or realises it never will and makes us redundant.
OP is absolutely correct. For every productive hands-on engineer, we have fifteen useless guys. Most of the guys just join meetings and contribute nothing. All fill up timesheet. ... there is app to remind people to send timesheets. This place is getting crazy by the day. Essentially we will be sold for the pennies one day and all the losers will be sacked. Till then enjoy.
I was at DXC/CSC for 12 years, stayed the last 4 because:
- Work from home
- Not on call
- Didn't really have too much work except the last year and half
- Gave the max to my 401K, as I could retire at anytime
- Like most of the people I worked with , except some contractors and management
- 10 days off every other month !
Sounds like OP needs to Shut up & find a better job elsewhere!
I have some sympathy with the OPs point of view, and accept that most of the decent staff have moved on to pastures new. However, the point of this site is to allow people, including those that remain, to voice their opinions over how the management have failed this company and its employees over many years.
Ability aside, there could be any number of personal reasons why an individual may not be able change jobs just like that.
Would you deny them a voice?
As there is now a Global Lead in the board for AI, for sure the total number of workforce will be reduced.
Thats how Kyndryl argues:
" To date, Kyndryl has redeployed more than 6,500 delivery professionals to serve new revenue streams and backfill attrition. ... Automation and the Kyndryl Bridge platform, powered by AI, are driving this progress."
With DXC you can expect higher numbers that 6k for WFR.
Near retirement, waiting for WFR with no expectation of a pay rise.
HAPPY WITH THAT
