Chesterfield Update - Only One Option Being considered

From today's Union meeting it seems there were strategies to reduce headcount at all centres, but the only option DXC are actively considering now is to move all 'Deliver' roles out of Chesterfield and relocate them.

So, whilst this is not a done deal yet, it looks like the writing is on the wall

Raises a few questions:

How will the site be viable once 90% of the headcount is gone?

How will knowledge transfer happen?

How do they expect to provide proper support to the clients?

It seems that management think moves will be easy due to the 'wonderful' work of Bionix who have produced automated solutions for many things, to my knowledge very few of these solutions have been tested or have customer buy in - this will create an absolute sh-- storm when the inevitable dip in service levels happens, contracts will be lost and the company will fail

Seems a very strange decision to lose so much knowledge and expertise in the name of cost cutting, but those of us who have been here a while are used to the idiocy of upper management that only makes it impossible for people left to provide any sort of service to their clients. This time, however, it seems that those who will feel the pain of having to try and deliver a service with no resource will be at other centres as everyone in Chesterfield will be gone!

Sad times

This sort of thing has been happening for years under HPE and DXC.

Telford office closed within the last two years, relocated to Warrington. Daresbury Office relocated to Warrington 2 years ago. Warrington just relocated to Chorley. Now Chesterfield to Chorley, keep an eye on what happens next - Chorley to somewhere further North.

They are just going to keep pushing staff to resign.

Time for family members who only got the job and then got promotions to stand on their own two feet and work for what they get... #jobsworth.... you know who you are

How will friends and family members of management get promoted now? :O

A lot of CSC managers ran redundancies across UK and hammered the rest of the country protecting chesterfield and chorley dossers where they were based. Also inflating northern wages when could buy a house up north for a pittance.

What goes round comes round.. ex royal mail wasters....

royal mail got rid..now DXC is lol

Well all I can say is f--- the stuck up American c--ts. Good look with what’s left of the company 😂😂

Good luck DXC with the KT !

You'd better ask the right questions because nothing else will be forthcoming.

Shaft us and you can whistle DXC (see what i did there ?)

A nice derogatory comment about Service Desk, bet whoever typed that felt good! Probably an ‘engineer’ who rejects tickets cos of spelling mistakes or something! A lot of us on Service Desk are agency workers so won’t even get redundancy money when the site closes, despite being here a few years and being told perm contracts would be given! Thanks DXC

DXC future vision:

Mikey

Steak cutter/goblin teasmaid
Salah to divvy up the profits with whilst travelling on DXC private jet
1 graduate Bionix engineer
1 graduate permamently assigned to posting false advertisements on LinkedIn

All the above will service multiple, virtual (ie. zero) customers from DXC's latest "Digital Delivery Center" in the shed at the bottom of Mikeys soon to be bought 3rd house.

It's a cunning plan, nobody will suspect and it's already 90% complete.

DXC is digital , there is no reason to support sites hands on unless you need to actually touch the equipment. Do it all remotely , we have Skype, Internet , hell you have a telephone use it!

See service desk have figured out how to post a comment on here

If anyone wants coke, Ket or weed I'm in B block - Gotta make a living eh.

No Way am i moving out of Chesterfield

#SpiriteTilIDie

anyone wanna buy a few keys? i got mouths to feed

Who will do the password resets?

Tactic is normally enforce a ban on home working then move your role too far away to commute so effectively force you out.

Absolute Joke of a company thinking other sites support more accounts than Chesterfield. Bionix will not be able to cope with the high demand our clients want. It makes no sense to lay off so many staff with so much knowledge to replace with lower cost bionix programs that will inevitably result in loss of clients in the long run. DXC have no care for their staff and this lay off explains that.

Can make the role transferable to another UK site or overseas (barring any restrictions) without any redress however ideally provision should be in place for someone to pick up the role if they are skilled for the job or to relocate staff to do the job (which probably the employee will pick up the cost and upheaval instead of DXC.

Wouldn't be surprise if a similar role is advertised say Chorley but aimed at graduates / newbies and hire on lower pay as has happened a lot since the formation of DXC and is encouraged as a digital strategy by upper management - see ML presentations to shareholders recently

Don't think any provision or thought has gone into new transfers or for people working from home DXC is against this idea now and trying to get people to work from the nearest office.

hahah your mums your dad wag1 homie 1 luv as u were lg x

You cannot make a redundancy if the role still exists???

How can a person relocate when half the day will be taken up by travel???

What about the people who moved into Chesterfield from Nottingham recently???

Will there be home working offered if Chesterfield is shutting???
