The news is finally public:
Daily Report has confirmed that the major economic development announcement Gov. John Bel Edwards will make in New Orleans this afternoon involves Virginia-based DXC Technology, which will set up operations in the Crescent City and eventually create 2,000 permanent high tech jobs.

Hire 2500 this year and lay off 25K next year. the math works great.
Info by the OP looks true, the catch is that the new recruits would be at entry level. So expect some more layoffs with a minimum severance payout.
Guess this is Trump's protectionism in action. Good for USA bad for some other countries.
What a f**king joke, Trump hasn't done any good for the american worker
I can more or less substantiate the approach outlined by -fwb above. I worked for an L2 in the US for a while. That person actively tried to release information and asked his DRs to ensure that positive messaging was communicated down the chain. Now, you could accept this at face value and say it was management trying to encourage the troops, but in the next breath almost, there would be talk about reducing headcount and costs. Anyone with two braincells could see the hypocrisy in everything that this person said. This type of approach was rampant in DXC. I left shortly in the Summer after. The L2 in question couldn't even be bothered to contact me to tell me directly: HR was drafted in to do the dirty work. It was painful given the US severance but within weeks I managed to land another job paying more. The place is a pigsty, managed by pigs. If you're not at L2 you're f***ed.
Didn't Mikey once say DXC is 'refreshing' staff? Maybe that is 2,500 naive new employees and get rid of 2,500 experienced (read: better paid, older) workers?
I don't know why they'd hire in the USA.
When CSC dumped their Fed business it opened the flood gates for RIF'ing US based staff as there wasn't any ITAR reasons to protect those jobs. Result was mass USA layoffs...
And if they were to be hiring, its hiring graduates in low cost locations to replace you all.
minus meal allowance, toilet papers and stationery! hahahahahahahaha what a f--- country
I was recently hired, and am a ‘techie’ (aka software developer), so maybe some jobs ARE coming back to the US?
Hahahahahahahahhahahahahah
Hahahahahahahha
Hahahahahahah
These rumours are carefully brainstormed and evolved through PR workshops by DXC's PR agent Porta Novelli. They offer, effective mitigation strategies to help alleviate the challenge of low morale in an enterprise by attempting to create positive rumours or 'good gossip'.
This involves training the level 2's on how to surreptitiously release fake information into their active network pools to ensure positive messages go viral. The current top 5 are potential pay rises; tool investment; staff hires; apprenticeship reboots and the cloud i.e. the cloud under which Mike is going to leave DXC.
Could all be just a rumour though.
definitive word in this statement is " Rumors" . Substantiated facts please.
Not a chance.
When corporations can pay foreigners 10% of what they pay Americans, you can forget about jobs coming back.
Pure BS
