Some departments are so overstuffed they could be reduced by sixty percent at minimum without work suffering at all.
People are spending most of their work hours on their phones, just wasting their and company's time.
How come those people are never laid off? For a change, that would actually benefit the company.
@UFnqP44-yucx Managers in DXC fulfill essential tasks such as approving timesheets or travel requests. That's all that they are worth as the real leaders have departed from DXC a long time ago.
@UFnqP44-1ebj : you are correct. The managers are just there to show they are busy.
Managers will be sent of in drives shortly. Zero productivity, no skill set, high cost, nothing in the managers favor.
At the same time manager need to pretend to be busy, or how else will they pass their time ?
YES we NEED more layoffs! Lets right shore Mike Lawrie and save millions , might as well get rid of all his yes men and women too.
India is junk..No quality work and full of office politics
My huge bug-bear with DXC (and CSC) was its cultural passion for endless 1hr ritualistic meetings for the sake of them. Managers could spend all day on a phone and achieve nothing. I remember trying to get 2 mins with a manager for a bid decision to be told: "I am back to back all day."
Many of these meetings could tie 10 people up for an hour just to 'go around the table'. It was pure nonsense; few agenda's or even a purpose other than someone thought it a good idea to 'get something into everyone's diary...oh and let's invite a,b and c'
I became convinced it was a way to promote a perception that they were invaluable and very busy, but hid a complete lack of productivity.
I moved to a culture where meetings are only held if a decision can't be achieved through email or a quick call. I find myself far more productive now to focus on clients, which is always more interesting than internal stuff.
Yes - start from the top and give Mikey and his HR GF the flick immediately on the basis of failing to provide employees with adequate compensation.
If the company respected me, my time, my career, and my health, I would be more than happy to be as productive as possible.
Instead, we have cut after cut after cut while the disillusioned teams are so miserable, they call in sick 3 times / month, and browse job ads on company time. Meanwhile J. Michael Lawrie and his executive bourgeoisie sit in their castle telling us to take responsibility for our own morale while indulging in the hedonist greed of hoarding every last penny from the vendors this company hasn't managed to lose yet.
So yes, Me and my team are completely checked out but we'll be riding this cash cow until it stops giving milk.
