Rumour: Mike Lawrie about to step down

Word on the street is that Mikey is about to announce he is moving on.

Anyone else heard anything similar through the grapevine?

Another view is that Mikey will hold on. He'll prop up the share price until the DXC husk is sold off again.

Whilst the brand value of CSC / HPE / DXC may not be as high anymore, existing customer accounts are. This is why I think the end will happen quicker than people think - before DXC loses too many accounts which adversely affect the final share bonanza.

Oh my God. He's going to where? Which company will be his next victim?

"Why would he step down?"

Mission accomplished: shareholders have had the turnaround promised and a good run on the stock market. Time to cash out is soon. Based on previous contract negotiations, Mikey is set for the bonus.

Also the damage to DXC is done and is now irreversible. nothing more for him to do except move to automation. That will be like the Stat Trek Borg, we will be assimilated while being pushed out the door, resistance will be futile.

Fingers crossed. If I have to watch that overly tanned two watch wearing buffoon try to get us all excited about "taking out" employees and replacing them with automation again I am going to scream. Doubt he will skip out on his huge bonus that is planned in a year or so. But maybe he has a golden parachute as valuable.

Won't make any difference - we all thought that when Hurd left HP, and then look what happened, Leo Chemist and Meg Richwoman! Try and grab a VR folks if it comes your way.
