Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

I left this debacle before the advent of dxc. - i was with csc, but had put up with years of no pay rises, no bonus, downgraded appraisal markings( for my last 3 years i appealed the downgrade and after many months, won on each occasion but not without much grief and stress). I saw this coming and managed to jump on vr by using my contacts to make sure i got it!!!!

Never been so happy to be out of somewhere!!!!

Nor drive a delivery van for tesco and love it. - at least they dont have the morals of sewer rats !!!!

Another total mess up that just highlights how broken DXC is. Of the people I know who applied for VR only 1/3 got it, but then the next day someone important was ringing up those lucky third asking them not to go just yet. However come CR time I'd put this years bonus(!) on the people who were turned down for VR get CR'ed. There is just no one spare left

cyberjaya is coming down this december. good luck to those who still hang on to that.

What an absolute bloody farce this company has begun. I am so frigging glad I took VR in the UK...Crap place to work and crap Managers at the helm...sounds pretty Titantic scenario to me...Mike Lawrie is an a--hole! But a rich one at that....

Voluntary is where you have the chance to decide to be selected to be made redundant and you get your redundancy payment. Compulsory is where you are told you are being made redundant and you have not choice in the matter.

If they are trying to reduce UK and Ireland numbers by 800, and 370 offer to go and you only decide to allow 70 of the 370 to go it is a strange way to manage the business. You end up 300 people who offered to leave having to stay or resign without any redundancy and then finding another 730 people who didn't want to go in the first place. That makes for at least 1030 disgruntled employees with a lot of time and effort from HR and middle management.

No Idea who is running the VR process these days, but if you really want to go, play the game. aim for a 4 or 5 at your appraisal and/or use any contacts you have to "tap" the team running the VR process to identify you as one to let go etc. Might be harder now under DXC, I managed to get VR on my terms whilst still CSC when I had a personal contact in the process, even then it took 3 months, but they came thru in the end.

Well in the US, your told on a Thursday and your out on Friday with a max of 8 weeks severance if you have 15 years or more service. So you all in the UK and elsewhere are lucky to get what you get.

If an Employee declines an offer for another position as an

alternative to the WFR, the Employee will be treated as having voluntarily resigned from DXC.

However, if the position offered to the Employee is two job levels below the Employee's current

job level at the time the notice of termination is issued or would require the Employee to work 50

or more miles outside the Employee's current work location at the time the notice of termination

is issued, then the Employee may decline the offer, and the WFR will occur per this Policy.

CR means you don't choose to go, they just bin you.

I guess the wrong people choose VR..

800 is what area's? For us in the US what does it mean "Compulsory Redundancy "?
