Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

No

https://www.linkedin.com/in/carlos-lopez-abadia-/ He's CEO now

...even worse Carlos Lopez, Vice President & General Manager Consulting, has left the company.

No public notice on this.

Steve was a decent manager , now that ML guy is a f-- head

Steve was fired because he s---s at his job.

Karma! Steve is a one trick pony. Did the same at Credit Suisse. Fires everyone. Quality goes downhill. Then Steve gets fired.

Does anyone have an email for Jim smith? The executive. ;) or address

The chairman needs a good chair

ML should be fired on the grounds of unfair treatment of us loyal and hardworking employees. Meanwhile he travels FIRST CLASS everywhere and is never seen in Coach class.

Wonderful, more ethics c-ap, er, I mean training for the rest of us.

Is DXC an ethical company? They claim to have openline ethics point. you file reports but they foreclose it pronto. no investigations nothing. not sure inf anyone in DXC follows the much touted code of business conduct, ethics, and country specific laws.

@6xzs, great post. The thing is Mr Hilton has thirteen million reasons not to be affected by his leaving as bad as the fifteen thousand employees (your figures) let go in the last year or so. I’m sure he is a very decent man, but he is part of a cohort of people who are running this company off the cliff.

The company will keep going, until it is broken up or collapses and ruins thousand more lives along the way, the people left will live in hope that it succeeds and hope they never get the email telling them it’s done, I wish it were true, sadly I doubt it with its current ethos and leadership.

Shocking news indeed, but after being laid off with no notice - after 20 years of outstanding work performance appraisals, this news made me hope that Steve now recognizes how CSC/DXC treats employees and their lives/careers. I just wish I had $13m to ease the pain of devoting my life to this company and finding myself un-employed without any reason or justification. Further, all my professional colleagues ( who built this company through two decades) were also let go - a total of over 15,000 employees who were replaced with employees with no experience, or their positions were outsourced, or just not even replaced. I can fully understand Steve's department not being able to handle a crisis, as he let his most experienced and dedicated employees get escorted out the door.

Karma right?

I agree with all his stock options hundred percent of his salary I would love to get fired with that $13 million all

So delivery didn’t make their numbers but delivery can we deliver with the sales team sells Maybe if we can outsource all our support organizations and we all worked for the common goal of giving project installed all the time and in budget then maybe just maybe you might make a profit.

The way it is now every organization is pushing back saying they can’t do whatever instead of the company prioritizing projects and telling the different organizations to make it happen

Her leadership doesn’t have a clue how to run a company. Client satisfaction should be first. Employees are our assets and they should be treated with respect. Employees are assets and they should be treated with respect And given met mirror razor and and given met merit raises and cost-of-living Increases. Before the executive receive anything

13 f---ing million dollars I would love video fired for 13 f---ing million dollars

Lawrie must be watching Peaky Blinders !

If my guess is right, Jim Smith will be announced as Stephen Hilton's replacement. After such an active role(laying off hoards of people) at CSC, Jim wasn't parked in an honorary role for no reason - a double negative ;)

I still haven’t received the email...and yes, outlook still works otherwise

What goes around comes around - is all that we can say about execs who willingly sack hardworking and decent employees, and then they get the chop themselves. Looks like Steve stood up to Mikey until now.

That 4 day DC outage pales into insignificance when compared with the ATO 3PAR clusterf--k Severity 1 incident which dragged on for 6+ months under HPE's leadership.

Crikey, that sounds bad.

And it was of course Hilton's fault because it was off his own back that he decided to WFR loads of staff and that he should have thought of the impact before laying off all those staff... if only he'd raised this as a concern and not executed his own plan to save money. Of course it was never a DXC (aka Mikey) sanctioned idea and he did it in his own spare time..

I am sure that there must be a Downfall Hitler rant video meme to cover this somewhere...

Yeah it sounds about right huge outage causing major problems handled very poorly always leads to falling heads.

For the people that doesn’t know what I’m talking about there was Data center outage few weeks ago supposedly in France and while this is not a disaster by itself what fallows was. Apparently this DC hosted a lot of delivery tools meaning ticketing systems informational databases and automations. The affected region well let’s say half of supported clients of the company. The service was partially restored after good 24 hours. Unfortunately a lot of European clients and to my best knowledge almost all of the automations were not operational 3 days. The outage was reported Tuesday night and was fully resolved Friday evening. Stuff break and that is expected there should be no surprises there the fun part of all was that due to all the automation programs and reported success of reduced ticketing via robots and such they did not work. The small part of the automation that were operational did not work as well since there was no incidents generated and nothing to trigger them. There was no official information of any kind. I work for several accounts and 3 of them were affected the result was terrifying the account staff from DXC did not have any info a lot of teams were not even told. Delivery was down incidents were basically not reported and fixed the ones that happened in the window were never reported I know several teams that spend 3 days in the offices without working. Due to the reduced staff from all the layoffs the teams were backlogged for days.

The summary is that affected clients were missing 99% of the support for more than 3 days. They were never told about the issue and no official communication or instructions were send.

Infosys guy. Samson David was only 8 months at HPE. Before that he was at Infosys since 1992.

Datacenter outages??? Where exactly?

Have not heard of that one yet. Must have been a massive f$##k up to cause the departure...

Was it a major news article?

You don't think it is because of the major data center outage last week which is ultimately his responsibility. Lot of p-ss-d off customers.

So, the next guy in the hot seat is now hardly going to disagree with ML after this. Can't be good news for employees within the deliver group.

He never adopted American capitalism that was his problem.

The company is going to the dogs. Initially it was only people on Bench who were laid off, then they started axing people who are productive and in billable assignments.. The names kept on changing, Workforce Reduction (WFR), Value Capture (VC), Value Attainment (VA) and God only knows what else they will keep coining. Slowly the squeeze started hurting clients and Americas + UK&I were the worst hit. Then came the bummer... ML started firing people in fully 100% billable positions even though the margins were robust and the revenue intact. This was a stage when revenue sacrifice was acceptable as long as you gave headcounts to the altar. Now the new term is HCC to LCC.. The Powers that be are asking us to give up names (BY FORCE) of people who may be borderline performers - read it as Rating 3, People whose commitment to the company is questionable (that's a laugh!) , People Working from home, people working in non strategic location, offshore but not in major cities like Bangalore/Hyderabad/Chennai... The squeeze is on and there is no logic behind it. Its just a blind greed for the bonuses which will follow which propels the likes of Mike to sacrifice good careers and good employees to meet a self set number game. Absolutely ridiculous...

Yes in the amounts of $13,803,531, great package. F--- them all

it certainly looks like he committed the ultimate sin of disagreeing with Lawrie. He's not the first to do so and he won't be the last.

For those asking about his package, it should be remembered that such things are VERY different at VP and above...

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON A NON CHANGE IN CONTROL EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION Stephen Hilton total $13,803,531

Nice to see his priorities are still intact,

Performance first and cost cutting to follow, everything else is secondary.

Bet he disagreed with the knob known as lawrie!! Fired on the spot!!!! 100% translates to more aggressive cuts.

Yup....he got fired by our Supreme Leader

his page is gone

Obviously a disagreement with the megalomaniac !

Probably means yet more WFR for the Deliver organization.
