What is the allowed bench period for Manager level resource in DXC?
Is there any difference between the different countries on this for the countries like United States, UK, India and Australia?

I think most staff have been on the bench for years now. Every year actively cutting 10% of their effort. And now they do practically nothing. Well nothing useful. They sill attend every meeting going and claim to be very busy. Whilst the few who can actually do a task are being dragged down into showing the layabouts, knowing they aren't listening to a word of it, or into endless meetings to discuss how long an hours job will take to do and when it can be fitted in between the meetings. The place has lost the plot on how to deliver a service.
i was on bench for 4 months before i was laid off. There are number of people who did'nt even get a single $ billable at Level 6 and Level 7 at DXC - USA under Cloud Presales team. Basically DXC dont have clue on how to get ..................... They are idle white elephants.
A manager shouldn’t be on the bench for more than a week. It should be DXC HR to find another position in the company for the manager. It shouldn’t be up to the manager to surf through the DXCwebsite to find another position.
I was all that being said if there’s no manager or real jobs then hopefully you haven’t lost your technical skills and you could get transferred as a technician. If not, I guess it’s time to find a new job.
Subject to your manager, sight of a pipeline of work, and length of service it's - between 0 and 6 months. UK employment law is they must give you 1 weeks notice for every year of service or your mutual contractual notice period up to a maximum of 12. They can give you that notice during the run down of your current project. But are pretty stupid to do so as you'll spend the last days of your project looking for a new job. But we all know DXC is a pretty stupid ill managed company.
