Interesting article about how the fear of layoff affects the workforce. This is about year-end layoffs - so imagine what it is like for all of us at DXC where is it always layoff season. :)

"I'm just checking under my desk for a hammer and a flask of poison placed there by Mikey.." - LOL. I kept checking everyday when I was there.
I was once a contractor for DXC (formerly HPE) at the Pontiac Michigan site until I was canned in April for calling off on Easter Sunday with no prior call-offs for two years. I already had a new job lined up so it didn't really matter to me at that point. Now I make more money, benefits, 401K, vacation time and other perks.
Get out when you can! My life has improved significantly since leaving DXC.
Sad so sad the very state of affairs at DXC. Miss my EDS, HP, HPE, HPQ pals. DXC is left with all those type "A" personalities who think that by getting rid of people who support the very core of DXC will make them successful. They are falling, failing and missing their marks. GLTA I feel great just investing and making more than i ever made at this DXC and HPE history. In sunny Florida enjoying golf, investing, beach and sun. Keep it cool in the great white north. The water is warm and tingly on my frog skin. I wonder how long this post will be here for. It's not offensive, criminal, hateful, specific or whatever. Frogman lives beyond DXC.
get back to work and stop posting such rubbish.
When 80,000 out of 100,000 employees will be gone before 3 years are up, it is literally almost a binary state with the in between time being that quantum state.

I loved this post title. It made me laugh and it's so perfect.
