CSC let me go July 1st after just extending my contract until the end of the year! They didn't give me any notice or any reason. What a bunch of jerks! The one silver lining is that most US companies will not want to work with a bunch of people overseas in a different time zone that can't even speak English. This will be good for the private consulting market.

Decimated? No. Destroyed yes. To someone else's shore.
Oh, well...
Mike Lawrie, the CEO of CSC, in detailing the merger to analysts in May, spoke of a "synergy realization" as a result of the merger. This typically means savings resulting from consolidation. With the merger, 50% of the labor force will be located in low-cost geographies, he told investors at an earnings call at the time of the merger announcement. Both HPE and CSC run extensive overseas operations.
This is true - more to come, the internal IT will be decminated
