WHEN ARE THE DXC MANAGERS GOING TO BE AXED ?
Service delivery manager, project manager, account delivery manager, operations managers should all be axed, their roles are no longer relevant now that Next Generation Delivery Model (NDGM) and Operation Center (OC) fully implemented across DXC.
that sums it up:
Service delivery manager / project manager / account delivery manager / operations manager = statistic for Mikey's bonus.
I am very happy to have been a Service delivery manager / project manager / account delivery manager / operations manager and got the flick via a WFR. Good riddance not having to look over my shoulder as to when the next round would hit. No more BS, no more Town Halls, no more BS training (Spartans wank), no more stress, and no more deprecated working conditions. Very happy to have been a statistic for Mikey's bonus.
Fully agree, when several accounts have been lost and technical workers have long been axed, there are way too many delivery managers who get all their work done by delivery leads.
Delivery managers are basically HR managers doing nothing other than browsing facebook.
People manager is also axed. Quite alot.
The problem is not with the manager or the ground. How much "Ant" to destroy the company?
The problem is with the top management:-

All your hardwork become their money. Just the L1 and L2 draw almost the entire ASIA operating cost for 1 year.
They are not s---ing your blood, they are ANACONDA that s--- and swallow your entire body.
If ISIS want to bomb America, please put one in DXC headquarter. Make sure Mikey and his team is there.
ISIS we need you!!!
As a manager you are supposed to manage, not blindly follow orders. thats the main problem in the first place. Engineers are working on fixing client raised technical issues while the manager bastards are following orders of robbing the engineer by negotiating low salaries, bad employee practices, and at the same time earning a huge bonus at the end of the year for reducing costs.
So it is clear that as a manager you were not true to your job but rather warming a chair and taking a fat salary for doing nothing.
When the situation goes bad you need to find someone else to put the blame on. shameless managers.
‘ They were just following orders! ‘
Now let me think, wasn’t there another group of loyal followers just ‘following orders’ in recent history? Now who was it?
Even terrorists are just following orders.. can people managers be called workplace terrorists ? Yes, you got it right.
The "managers" that everyone is getting their knickers in a twist about are not the demons here. They are employees like anyone else, often ex engineers themselves, and just as vulnerable and fed up as anyone else.
They are not the ones dictating that resource pools are reduced, that pensions are made worse, that expenses are locked down, that suppliers aren't paid, that training is none existent, that pay rises are a thing of the past, that bonuses are awarded to only the very few. They are merely the ones trying to continue to run and resource a service in the face of all of those factors.
Blame your mythical "management leeches" if you wish, that's what the likes of Lawrie want you to do. Perhaps he should do what you all want and sack them all. Then let's see who does their best to watch your backs or protect you from some of the ridiculous demands of you all that are placed upon them.
For God's sake grow up and see where the problem really emanates from here!
20% are managers ?? thats too much
fat salaries and little output is what a manager is... more the mangers, faster the downward spiral
the managers are "people managers" meaning that they have no customer contact, just HR based management of people.. 20% of them .. hilarious
basically the DXC managers they are managing people a.k.a pimps. delivery managers are helping engineers sell their services to the customer one part at a time .. brain, tongue, fingers for typing
one the engineer is old and partless, a WFR will be handed over and a fresher would be onboarded to sell their parts to the customer .. one part at a time.
the manager is doing nothing except pushing the engineer to sell their brain, tongue, fingers, etc called "services"
theoretically... "service delivery, operations, project, project -coordinators" are all billable resources
practically, the clients do not want nor need any of the above in day-to-day operations, it should be only as and when required
when you have 40 percent of the staff as managers with over 20 percent being people (HR) managers then surely something is amiss.
This problem can be fixed by removing the FPR process/review as done in Accenture, as Accenture folks have realized its no point having managers for the whole year just for year-end grading.
"service delivery, operations, project, project -coordinators" are all billable resources and generally cost more than engineers. Perverse by true.
It's very simplistic to take the view that anyone with manager in their job description is a waste of oxygen. It's equally simplistic to assume they are all in on some conspiracy to make technical staff suffer.
Save for a very few in DXC we are all simply line items in the cost column of the accounts.
As on date there are 40 percent of the staff as managers (service delivery, operations, project, project -coordinators), and non billable resources to clients meaning that they are internal to DXC e.g. internal service management teams.
Their salaries are high but their value to the business is low. Correspondingly, technical engineers are finding better salaries outside DXC, so its a double whammy, lower quality engineers and higher overheads.
Do you remember the cull of UK&I PMs in April 2016? It was absolute carnage, scores of people went in one day. I was taken to a room about 3 weeks in advance and told I would lose 3 out of 5 PMs working on my account. I was told not to appeal but I did and I saved 1 but that was only after I had an off record chat with the customer and gave her a heads up that delivery commitments that had been made to her directly after an escalation were about to be completely ignored.
The sackings and their schedule are driven by the McKinsey involvement. Anyone that seriously believes that Capability Leads, ADLs etc drive any of the redundancies are wrong. It comes from the top, the likes of Nick Wilson, through to people like Michelle Maloney who then pull the trigger and instruct their reports to execute.
Everyone is vulnerable and everyone is at risk. It's not just the engineers.
All the good talents have left.
I agree - I was also an ADE - got WFR'ed 4 months ago. Most times they not come to me for input for cuts.
Get some reality. There are plenty of Project Managers, Service Managers, account Managers etc that have been axed.
It's paranoid nonsense to think that they are somehow ringfenced from the idiocy that goes on each quarter. They are workers just like anyone else. I was an ADE, I owned no-one because it was matrix management of leveraged staff. I sacked no-one. I appeal against many sackings certainly but had absolutely no say in who went.
L1, L2, L3 & perhaps L4 drive the sackings. Anyone else is just cannon fodder. Don't fall for the myth that M2s or below are treated any better than anyone else. It's nonsense.
wake up... it is the managers who have axed the worker, they will not axe themselves or each other. DXC managers are comparable to monkeys and chimps, low IQ, but move around in 1 team. Engineers are not only graduates but many are post graduates and certified in various technologies.
Managers on the other hand have just some online MBA to prove they are educated. It would be very hard for them to prove their worth when they are worth nothing, so they keep doing things like increasing costs one year and then decreasing them the next.. thereby showing that they reduced costs every second year and therefore need to be highly rewarded.
the stark reality is that managers are there to just warm the seats they sit on, if ever they sit on the seats allocated to them.
several managers come to office without their laptops, then are just online on phone. so you can imagine, they dont have any complex work to do, they just need to look busy on skype.
Wake up and smell the coffee. These positions will not be chopped. Only those who actually produce something are targeted. This is by design.
