What are we doing right now, except going through the motions? I can assume there was a plan at the start during the spin-merger, but whatever it was, it is long gone by now. There is no planning past next layoffs round, just pile the work on the remaining people and proceed as before. Will that be the way things work until there is nobody left to lay off? It's just frustrating to see such a big company drifting so aimlessly.

it's another blind man leading the whole company down the drain. keep it up mikey with your digital transformation! it's just hilarious watching you clowns being dragged down!
DXC is nothing more than a VAR, like countless others- period
The vision is ML's pension payout. Everything else does not matter (to him).
It can stay overvalued for a while like the whole market.
DXC stock likely to see $95.00 per share shortly. Quarterly results on Nov 7.
DXC stock ($91.50 per share) is now labelled as "Overvalued" both of its historical (KPI: dividend yield) and peer (KPI: P/S ratio) comparison analysis. Yeah, tell us something we don't know.
DXC's finances are in the red with all these partnerships that haven't returned what he was hoping for. He now needs to bring costs at least into the amber.
A case of moving from Red Lawrie to Yellow Lawrie.
Can someone shed more light on what Lawrie said in India townhall?
Oops! We made a slight...er...'miscalculation' in the HPE cost calculations which has left us with a big hole in the finances now.
Muppets.
Layoffs at DXC will be perpetual throughout the lifespan of the company, which likely isn't going to be long. Various assets will be sold until there's a skeleton remaining, which will be bought out by another company.
DXC is not a long-term play company. Do not plan on making a career there.
Mr. Lawrie was in India recently. He admitted in a town hall that the merger was basically screwed. The replay should be online.
CLEAR refers to the DXC's strategic approach to each office.
Their 'Vision' page is empty at the moment. Blank. This tells you all you need to know.
Indeed, in case you are left in any doubt, as to the omission of any vision, they've even put a helpful word "CLEAR" on there to denote the page's intention.
I tried clicking on 'CLEAR' but the it doesn't seem to delete anything.
In theory, the VISION would have been something like:
"Through our partnerships with the world's leading technology providers, we deliver the best, most proven solutions to de-risk technology investments"
In Reality - it is more...
"Through relentless and thoughtless cost-cutting, with complete disregard for our strongest human assets, we aim to maximise shareholder-value until a pivot point, just before there is bugger all left to value, where we shall seek opportunities to dispense of the brand, to a global competitor before pissing off to the Cayman islands, with our millions, to avoid federal investigation over pending lawsuits."
They are drifting aimlessly. Management is going in circles. The good common man and woman have left or are leaving soon. The inept, and C-D students are left. It's a sloooooooooow death for all ex HP, EDS, HPE, HPQ folks to watch.
The 'vision' is to sell more next-gen 'stuff' in order to grow, whilst cutting costs by moving jobs to Low Cost Countries in order to shore up the profit margin.
The local effects of this are layoffs/redundancies as they attempt to offshore seemingly every possible job.
The April Investor Day presentation was illuminating; 'Workforce Optimisation' will continue until at least 2020. Expect more layoffs until then.
