DXC's current UK & I regional leader has resigned and will leave the business later this year. He is the latest in a run of senior folks exiting the business.

His compensation package will be well incentivised. His legal guys will be sorting it all out especially if he has been screwed over or undermined by Hands and McLaughlin.
Such things are rarely allowed to be made public until the company has come to a financial settlement tied to conditions around future working and not saying anything about DXC.
Three weeks to Christmas. Plenty of time yet.
Are you sure? no site reports the news....
Trying not* to personalise the relationship as he wanted to appear as though he was with the employees.
It’s a very poor execution of a business tactic to make him appear as though he is on the front line and it’s us against them.
Hands to take over? Why do I think it was him to shafted Norman? Him and McLaughlin.
They kept referring to the cuts as something they agreed with the CEO. Hands didn’t refer to Lawrie in any other words other than the CEO said...
Which is a classic deflection where he is trying to to personalise the relationship.
Don't let the door bruise your backside as it slams shut behind you Norman.
Whilst I think Norman Wisdom would have done a better job, I still think the UK role is the kiss of death. Five people, none of whom have exceeded a 9-month tenure have all been kicked or jumped since Liz Benison in 2014.
And you guys thought Whitman was bad!!! This SOB is pure dirty evil. Karma is a b--ch and I hope he suffers like he has destroyed the lives of good honest working people.
What message does this send our clients and potential customers...
That the guy who just signed the contract will be toast in a few months.
Mike Lawrie is an evil bastard who will f--- you over in the same way he will f--- over the guy who just signed the contract with you.
That CSC has had at least 1 EVP Regional lead every year or every other year.
There is no trust.
Most of the UK clients are with legal at the moment - 100% fact
And they blame the employees for this. I swear I’m not lying I’ve been party to conversations with Lawries cronies... one of which explicitly said Lawrie blames the staff for the failures and that’s front line staff because they are failing to execute the plans set by his team. For all you HPE staff, when Lawrie came in, perhaps in the second year everyone for a failed to meet all expectations in the appraisals... simply because the bastard believed then as he believes now that the issues are with staff and not his dumb arse decisions.
Flippin heck N.W lasted less than 9 months
We can't name him on this site or the posts get deleted (as DXC is trying to gag the media to limit bad news stories) but he shares his initials with Norman Wisdom.
who?
Who has resigned?? He did go mental on the town hall about the other day.
She has no clue, and has control over those prized roles within the secure gdn. If you want to get anywhere you have to brown nose her first.
Anyone can take a look at her role appointments and tell from a mile off it’s jobs for her b--ches. None of the roles are advertised, they just go straight to the b--ch she prefers at that time. She’s loyal to her b--ches I’ll give her that.
True, McLaughlin is way out of her depth in that role. But when you look into the DXC cesspool of residual 'management', then have you got left now? It's kind of irrelevant now given the UK trajectory.
All these guys will serve to do is make sure the plane hits the ground quicker.
Hands and McLaughlin - are brown nosers, with McLaughlin in charge of UK transformation activities... is it a wonder that the programme is managed piss poor. She did it in CSC too and learns no lessons from the feedback she gets.
"NW or PH?"
Look at the one who's been radio siient for at least a month and didn't send the last VR/CR email when he should have done.
Anyway, it matters not, the other is dead duck anyway, like all the UK leaders before him. They just don't know it yet
Who?
Nick Wilson or Peter Hands?
That job' been a poison chalice since 2012. Its just a caretaker role to see-through the run-off of the remaining legacy contracts, on a skeleton staff, until they can move operations out and close the UK altogether as being not being economically viable.
I still remember 2 VP's confiding to Management how crazy the whole cost cutting strategy had become and how their account guys were giving them grief because they couldn't secure resource to meet client delivery: 'how is this bloody model supposed to work now? No-one knows who to contact anymore. Who's in charge of what? Where's the process?'
The transformation has been a PR disaster. The due-diligence and costings of the HPES merger was a total c----up; reference-able clients did a runner; SLA'sh--ting red on account that only ever saw green; critical client skills and experience allowed to walk out the door to meet arbitrary group targets.
I can't see how any UK leader can dig the Operating Unit out of its dog mess now.
Still. Merry Christmas.
Because he thought the target number was too low?
Rumour is that the latest VR/CR emails bypassed him, and he threw a hissy fit when he found out
