Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Roles / operations to be moved from the USA to India

Most of the roles / operations will be moved from the USA to India in order to lower costs. India delivers a larger output at a fraction of the cost thus improving the company's profitability.

Quality wise, due to lower costs and multiple levels of checking /cross checking and counter checking, India always delivers superior results as compared to the USA for the same price. It is the company's interest to deliver high at the lowest cost.

When it comes to comparison of salary, paying is US dollars falls much more expensive, better they pay peanuts via other currencies and profit out of it. DXC is benefiting out of currency difference and labor costs, thats all that there is

There is no US companies or Indian companies. Now, world is flat and all companies want to serve customers anywhere under Sun. Hence, companies need a global workforce.

However, matter of fact is that companies don't pay the global salary except few like Crossover. The discrimination in salary is the number one reason behind an Indian resource pushing a difficult solution to US resource. The same Indian resource will deliver, when he is provided with a global salary.

"Let India people work for India companies and let US workers work for US companies."

Exactly, thats what freedom is all about and thats whats going on.. nobody has asked you to work for any company at all.. you are free to choose and get your agreed remuneration.

But I hope you didnt mean to say that US companies should keep US workers and still make a profit after paying exorbitant salaries.

Next, is how do the US companies hire US workers in India, when their plan to shift operations to get the job done (and thereby reap the benefits) at a fraction of the cost ? Its meaningless, the only option is to layoff US workers and move operations to India.

Fighting the trend will get you nowhere. Acknowledge the facts and plan fr the future.

How come the India resources always have to come to the US resources when things don't go correctly. If there is no written procedure or the issue goes off the procedure they can't THINK of a solution. Low cost bull sh--, Low initial cost till things go wrong and then US or UK people have to bail them out.

And who the f--- cares, if US people are outsourced to lower cost counties , then there will be no one in the US purchasing goods, if we don't have money to purchase goods the companies will lose money. Let India people work for India companies and let US workers work for US companies.

My interpretation of DXC strategy is Rip off the human asset and then sell of the physical assets including patents.

Dell EMC, HCL and Wipro are the partners. Now, the question is what you gain after partnering with your competitor?

Without a Competitive strategy (either Cost Leadership or Differentiation), any business success?

I agree with @T9R6UEY-iiq, I have seen many times where Western staff have been replaced by multiple Indians. One that comes quickly to mind is one where 3 individuals were replaced by 10 Indians. However even that works out cheaper when you look at the numbers. Sad but true.

My two rules never invest in a company run by an Indian person as the CEO or CFO, and two never never invest in a biotech or healthcare company in Canada. For some reason these companies have always burned me finanacially. If Indians take over DXC the slide to doomsday will move quicker. Good Luck to all those EDS, HP, HPE employees that remain your days are limited so you better speed up your move to exit soon.

India have co-leads, who are pulling the organisation in two different directions. And handful of Managers, who doesn't know People Management. Their only expertise is feeding the rumor mills in smoking zone.

DXC India is the worst ....all fun and no work..so far they are enjoying the global profit and revenue...all centers should be reduced 10 % within this year and that is only for supporting local clients... and their productivity should be measured seperately. Let them face the heat...

Unfortunately India is not the low cost option it once was. That is why we are actively closing down sites in India in favour of emerging low cost centres such as Vietnam, Chine and Perto Rico. India will of course remain a key part of our global sourcing, but at a greatly reduced scale. It's part of the natural cycle of labor economics.

"India delivers a larger output at a fraction of the cost thus improving the company's profitability" In my opinion no, they have at least twice the staff doing the same job and they're not in country when issues occur.
