Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Vietnam is where it's going now. Very hard workers! India - too much corruption resulting in misrepresented skill sets. When not misrepresented - off to a better paying company!

amen brotha. the tables are turning on all you brown-nosing s----ups.

I am the OP, I'm not dividing at all.

All I am saying is these types of forums were only ever contributed to by onshore staff. If you even told some offshore managers that you might loose your job they really didn't give a hoot.

Now that India is getting hit suddenly DXC is evil? But when onshore was hit it was soo exciting and rewarding to work for DXC?

I have LOADS of solid Indian colleagues and I have nothing against them in the slightest, my issue is with the ones who brown nosed the company and ridiculing the onshore staff issues, almost like we were self inflicting.

Typical divide and conquer response.

It's not the employees fault that the company is run by a by a bunch of bean counting morons. Blame them, blame their greed, blame their stupidity, blame their shortsightedness, blame their ineptitude.

Don't blame someone else just trying to keep their head above water, after all, that is what you are doing.

Thank you for the post. Since Trump uncle has started the H1-B visa restrictions several of my Indian colleagues would be coming back. The company has come up with a plan where the same persons would work from India instead of the USA, cutting costs still further.

now what do yo have to say about that ?

Come on let's play nice... i'm a US-based employee that have been working with India folks for the last portion (~5-8 years) of my 20+ year IT career in HP/HPE/DXC. While I'd agree that SOME are just frankly useless, I'd have to argue that the majority are hard-working, smart and dependable individuals who (like many of us) are the primary income supplier for their families. Skillsets are there. The folks that I've been working with try real hard and are successful. Cultural differences abound and in my opinion the India folks fall in the short end of the stick because US culture is a bit more demanding and we have higher expectations even to ourselves. Maybe it just my experience and it's not typical. So... stop bashing Indians and keep eating their chicken tikka masala.

I do have to say the great majority of India staff were useless within our work environment . There were a rare few that were good but they tend to move on to other companies or to the US if they can score a work visa. Most couldn't make an independent decision if their life depended on it. They are nice people but I think the cultural differences just don't work well with western business practices. The execs just see the cheap labor per hour cost and go with it without thinking of the total cost of training, turn over, and fixing or reworking projects.

Well done OP blame the workers rather than those that instigated the policies that kicked off the race to the bottom.

[/sarcasm]

Grow up.

Play nice children.

so unprofessional.

I completely agree. Unfortunately I have to work with India staff everyday since HPE started moving all EMEA jobs to India. Now we are only 5% of the people our team used to be but we still have the same workload or even more. Why? Because it was moved to India and they only know how to say 'Please help, I do not know how to fix this, I escalate to you' and stupid things like that. For first time in my life I am not proud of working on a big company.

The explain why our glorious leader was quoted in the Times of India saying that he was going to employ 40-50,000 people over the next 4-5 years. That's Forty to Fifty thousand people.
