Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

The latest inspiring email b@ll@cks from Mikey

Below are the apparent results of a global employee survey conducted by DXC. I know for a fact that very few employees partook in the survey. We received numerous emails begging us to complete the nonsensical survey. Myself and most colleagues I know treated it with the disdain it deserved. The concocted results make for interesting reading regarding the top priorities for us employees. Not one of the so called "biggest pain points" related to the ineptitude of the multi-layered "jobsworth" inept management . The slimy f@cker even has the audacity to suggest that "Resource management and hiring" is number two on the list of priorities. Really! WTF! You couldn't make this stuff up.

Here is the email:

Pulse Survey results and next steps

A few months ago, we launched the Employee Pulse Survey across the DXC Technology community with the goal of understanding our current operational state. The survey results have been analyzed, and I want to thank you for your input and candid responses; the strong participation rate is evidence of your commitment to helping DXC continue to improve and achieve our goals and objectives.

The Pulse Survey has yielded highly valuable insights, including some of the biggest pain points identified by our people. In response, we have mobilized teams to begin addressing these issues through both globally-owned as well as functionally-owned workstreams. We are committed to driving improvement quickly, and are prioritizing four processes that require immediate attention:

  1. Purchasing and procurement

  2. Resource management and hiring

  3. Travel requests, approvals and expensing

  4. Sales governance, quoting and presales support

Watch this short video to hear more details and learn about the work Mahesh Shah and Cynthia Dautrich have already started on the purchasing and procurement initiative.

Additionally, all functional leaders have received their results and will share them with their teams, along with their associated action plans, over the next few weeks.

Again, thank you for your participation and candid responses. They will help immeasurably as we continue our integration.

Our teams will keep you informed of our progress as we move ahead. For updates, please also visit our new page on myDXC.

@QCJgFca-rit yes, those things on your list are screamingly obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Based on the obvious fact that DXC is Mikey's CSC inflicted on another 100,000 employees it should be noted that none of the items you list are forthcoming now any more than they were before in CSC.

Why you might ask? Surely someone couldn't be so stupid as to miss the obvious?

The answer is simple: the game is not a functional business, the game is run off and asset strip.

One key element of the asset strip is severance pay for all those useless staff you don't need. On the spread sheet the figure is very big and scary. Simple solution - stamp all over them enough that the bill gets smaller by people leaving of their own accord.

Normally most companies even when faced with the requirement for cost reduction (and I'd argue that DXC doesn't actually need to do any of this, the profits are quite healthy anyway) would consider that randomly loosing staff was bad. You need to be selective and execute the reduction in a surgical manner to preserve key skills and keep your business going.

Well, here that doesn't matter, whether its VR, CR or just someone walking out the door, its all good. Every heads a head eh? Its all plus points on the balance sheet.

The beatings truly will continue until the balance sheet has no costs on it at all.

Travel Requests?

Er...does anyone know what the word 'Travel' is or was?

Wasn't that when IT people were allowed to take an active interest in the client's problems and work at their premises to help solve them (before script monkeys) or proactively participate as part of their key strategic meetings?

Staff survey didn't conclude

  • Job security

  • Reduction in critical skills

  • Lack of onshore support for public sector

  • Replacement of megalomaniac CEO

  • Lack of governance for all processes generally

  • A more responsive HR

  • A Real Reward & Recognition System

  • A Real process for Promotion

  • A real salary review

  • Systems and tools that help productivity

  • Replacement of appraisals with informal check-in to improve engagement

  • Agreed team goals that stay still for more than 5 mins

  • A Business Strategy that is more aligned to client aspirations and not shareholder gain
