Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

The MIS-managers manage themselves whilst they send everyone else around the twist to do BS tasks or force employees to attend Spartans training. What a joke.

I've seen female managers just dump work on the subordinate employee without any concern how the work its going to be handled. To top it all the manger asks whether he is free for the weekend to go for a self-sponsored outing to a nearby resort.

The role of delivery manager / service delivery manager is redundant. Indian companies like WIPRO and INFY (INFOSYS) got rid of these a couple of years ago.

DXC is a miserable place to work. No one is happy. Well at least the ones not taking home millions in incentive and stock options.

what do the managers manage ? they manage your labor while they smoke their cigars and take home a pay package much higher than yours

some s-xual harassment cases by some feminist against managers is what is pending

Well my manager is very good and gives us that-a-boy's all the time, it's a shame that the manager can't give us salary increases and we have to work though all the process bull crap with AT&T , Procurement process and all the other crap that makes our jobs frustrating as hell.

To little people who actually understand how to do anything and with the build team all being laid off in the UK, redundant but no one to replace them.

Don't think Mike knows the meaning of redundant, because there is no one to pick of the work

I hate my job these days, but need the money to feed my family

Internally billed teams do a 9 am - 5 pm job, work from home, dont have any SLA's and even if they have dont adhere to them. Basically a honeymoon with the salary being credited at the end.

quality control teams, NGDM teams, portal maintenance teams, ESL reporting teams, project management teams, transition teams, blah blah ..

most of the employees of these teams are sh--ting bricks along with their delivery managers as they deliver nothing.

If you care enough, IGNORE YOUR ORDERS, do what you need to keep the lights on.

@QC0ESQM-stv is right... nobody below about L2 makes any meaningful decisions at all.

You can't argue, you can't persuade. In fact persuasion is actively, violently discouraged. If you keep trying to influence upwards then your name goes on the list.

There are no dissidents here.

And I don't even mean just the issue of staff cuts.

And of course, once your boss gets this treatment from his boss then the bad attitude spreads. Its pretty much down to ground level now, with everyone playing the same stupid game.

At least my boss is honest, he tells me that there is nothing he can do to change anything and that he's only turning up for his 37.5 hours a week, not a minute longer. Absolutely minimum effort.

I should point out, I'm not talking about India or somewhere, I am talking about USA and UK.

The managers I know , still working there, just want to be told one way or the other if they have a job or not. Many just want the money to go and are tired of waiting in limbo.

I think the days of trying to 'show' your team is doing something worthwhile (whether genuine or not) is pointless and has no effect on the relentless and thoughtless decisions to cut numbers regardless of criticality to client.

Any pathetic exercise to report graphs, strategy and how your recent team's achievements are contributing to the bottom line and client delivery will be met with "Doesn't matter, you need to cut 80% now or someone else will do it for you"

Anyway, who cares. The company is finished.

Everyone is just waiting for the big implosion day.
