Did DXC find another building for the Pontiac folks? There are so many rumors from work from home to a new building across the street. Does anyone know? All we are getting are emails saying that they are working on a solution.

They are leasing a new building per an email from facilities. Information on where will be coming in the next 2 weeks. They are still narrowing down which building they want.
Leadership seems to have been caught flat-footed on this. We've had no communication whatsoever about a plan for moving out. Parking lot seems to have less cars every day. The credit union branch sent us a note that gave more information than GRE people sent to us - They are closing the ITCU branch as of 30 September because "The building that houses this branch has been sold, and the new landlord has informed us that our sublease is being terminated. Our offer to create a sublease with the new landlord was declined." It looks like a couple of the many call centers here have moved somewhere else, (nobody knows where.)
The GRE people could be afraid to tell everyone to start working from home, derelict in their duties , wanted this to happen as part of the cost cutting process, or some combination of the above.
I can say that the occupants of the building seem unanimously tired of being kept in the dark and treated like children.
Might not be a bad idea to start cleaning out your desk now and just leave the bare essentials at work. Everyone in Pontiac will eventually have to vacate the building anyways....might as well start early. You will probably have to bring your own box though....There is most likely none left after all of the layoffs that keep coming down the pipe. At this rate, everyone might not have a job by when our lease on the building ends in December.

Upper management will provide the solution shortly. they are surely and furiously working their hands between their legs. It could take some time for a solution. One has to have patience in these matters. Lets see what the solution looks like...
