ROFLMAO ... do you remember using Primavera Evolve or the other smoking pile of sh!t (Skill share)? Even with all the employee profiling data at their fingertips - management always found an excuse not to search for suitably qualified internal applicants, but rather went external almost immediately. I entered my data for 10 years and never received a hit. So many categories to chose from for your current skills, yet the tools would not allow the entry of data for previous roles.
Another waste of time.
I have put that on my profile as experienced banana farmer. I grow lots of banana trees in my farmland. Mikey is welcome to visit my farmland to see how successful it is.
they can profile my ars! fck you mikey!
50% of digital skills and who isn't. If you do anything with a computer you have digital skills!
If anything on your CV makes out you "follow or make specs", you're toast.
This includes all developpers, Analysts, Architects etc.
If you weant to stay in this steaming pile of sh*t , best to lie and say you don't "do" anything, your role involves bringing money in and cutting cost for DXC.
take the wfr and just refuse to participate the whole BS!
HPE ES (before the spin/merge) made us do this on a mandatory basis a few times. It was definitely used for culling. No doubt.
Turkeys voting for Christmas have better odds of surviving. My advice to employees, just boycott this profiling exercise. If everyone did what could they do? Remember the 5/10% wage cuts from Hurd days, he had to back down didn’t he.
Loved the article's closing comment:
'It would be nice to have one week – just one week – when DXC does not disgrace itself by gracing the pages of El Reg with yet another gaffe. Same time next week? Maybe sooner. ®'
That should take out all the guesswork of managers trying to do those WFR criteria score sheets as they will now have a guide straight from the employee themselves, on the saba cloud which should speed up the WFR process and will allow graphical profiling of who's within the 50% of digital skills and who isn't.
How cynical of me to suggest an "ethical" company would use data subject information for the purposes of redundant role identification.
Perish the thought.
Yep, an enterprise request except for those shielded by work councils.
