According to ML video we all did a great job last year. The company exceeded expectations and bonuses are funded for high performers. Not ONE leader has heard about providing said bonuses to high performers. Instead the US leaders are now once again being forced to go line by line through lists of employees (most if not all are at high level in job code family) and justify why they can't get rid of them, ship off shore or move to a low cost useless resource center. Answer why for each employee and yes the majority are senior in their careers so they are older. Put risk detail on each and it will be shipped up to the King himself to decide who goes and who stays. Why? Because our FY2019 margin is too low. Why is that? Because we off shored most of finance and they are incapable of having the intimate account detailed knowledge needed to forecast accurately. Coupled with the fact that they don't work during the time zones that the accounts work. There is no relationship with the account leaders to scrub a proper forecast as necessary. How do you solve that? Get rid of people with no thought to revenue loss or contract breach. Smart strategy dude.

FY2018 was a great year for me - I took the money and ran and boy am I glad I did.
I grew by pissing off account management and being place on the WFR list. Good riddance and I grew again with a 50% increase in take home pay by contracting to one of DXC's competitors.
Mikey is growing his retirement fund at your expense but the loss of key accounts would be someone else's problem
Only Mikey , his GF and cronies are eligible for a bonus. Everyone else can take a ticket and join the queue.
The OP was ES I assume.... don't you understand:
1) The margins are never high enough, no profit too large.
2) The margins are expanded by not paying employees as much as last year. That means no bonus, no pay raise, no travel, no training and if possible less of you (ie you doing 5 persons jobs) or replacing your with a slave worker somewhere else in the world.
That's how this company "grows".
It doesn't grow by:
1) winning new bids
2) upselling to existing customers
3) training staff in new technology to sell to customers
4) encouraging you to work harder using financial incentives
Any CSC folk will tell you this is how Mikey rolls and its not changing any time soon.
I'd be happy to pull a De Niro right now, "F&ck DXC". Sh--e company on it's merry way OUT!
Adecco -> Lost
Nokia -> Lost
You can add lines to this list, if you know new big contract loss.
If I remember rightly (I've been out of DXC for a couple of months), there is a lengthy FAQ document about bonuses which includes lots of weasel words. Just being a high performer may not get you a bonus. Bonuses are limited to a maximum of 5% anyway.
