Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

April & May 2017 - Major WFR and Reorg

I heard that they have started laying off people yesterday and are planning to continue doing so until May. Does anyone have any idea which countries or centers have been affected so far?

I was also told that they just finalized the regional head assignments and management alignments for DXC and in preparation of the ES-CSC legacy people actually working together, they have started eliminating people due to redundancy. But since we're on DXC now, HPE legacy employees will be getting a sh--tier package.

Is anyone aware of the schedule and the severance package DXC has to offer?

Meeting with manager Monday to review annual performance review which is less than stellar. (Never met manager before). Is this reason for concern? I don't mind getting rif'd but is destroying my credibility to justify it necessary?

Why are you surprised? Both companies have been laying off over the past several years. I was a manager and laid off 15 emps during that time. Then I got laid off haha - what goes around comes around I guess haha! I'm much happier now, CSC turned into a crappy company treating emps like sh1t. I have no doubt it will be more of the same with DXC . . .

Look, it's a shrinking margin business, in which two companies with shrinking revenues combined to compete with the Indian giants for what's left of the business. Both CSC and HPES were in the IT Outsourcing world, and made a lot of money from 1995 to about 2005. The Cloud, Indian competitors US and EU companies created chasing better margins, Bot and Mobile technologies are turning IT Data Centers into lights-out facilities that need only a handful of people to run. The quickest way to profit growth is shedding people just ahead of them becoming redundant. I may be on the list too, but am scrambling to move my nascent, long ignored NextGen services business and team into the sweet spot of the new company. Basically moving to higher ground with hope that the waters will recede before reaching us. I am in my late 50's so only need to do this dance a few years more. If you are in your 30's or 40's, pick up the Coursera, EdX, or other courses and get the certificates around Industrial Machine Learning, AI, and Data Science. Those jobs are still paying crazy wages with need exceeding supply, and what you needed for your Comp Sci degree gave you the skills for these newer disciplines. If you are in your 20's, look at part time tech school courses with hands on around Additive Manufacturing and Robotics. If you are thinking about going back to school, look at Materials Science & Engineering (MatSE), where the schools are way behind the curve in meeting needs of Metallurgy, Ceramics, Nano Technology, & Polymers companies. A Bachelors degree starts at nearly $80,000 and rises pretty quickly with experience gained through well paid internships available by the boatload during summers.

Layoffs drive the stock price. There is no regard for the worker. Pump and dump.

The saga continues. What a bad image DXC is displaying. Greed, Selfishness, Backstabbing, Nepotism, not enough words in the dictionary to describe the actions they continue to take. Oh well brace yourself you are being kicked overboard in high seas. Shark infested INDIAN Ocean warm waters. Swim to French Polynesia and your ex president can assist you.
