DXC have just told everyone that they cannot hire new staff, even to replace people leaving. They stated they don't care if this breaks accounts and our clients leave us. Salvino is really ki----g this company.
Japan
It is a pity that there are no more guys in DXC Japan who can talk about smart technology. They will talk only legacy technology based on legacy their strategy and legacy providing systems.
Germany
What is going on in Dxc Germany?
Don’t let anyone put you down!
A few scaremongers saying DXC staff are useless and will not find jobs outside of DXC. What utter bullsh-t. DXC serve some FTSE 100 and lots of other top end companies. The fact we support their IT tells you that they are not as cutting edge as... — read more
How do you keep your skills sharp?
I have skills - I'm not allowed to show them, thwarted by lack of access, lack of effective kit, and you can't just work on something without a project manager asking you every day what percentage complete is it. The PM leaves - they halt the... — read more
Another Chris Holebarred clanger
The guy is a joke, strings along everyone to tell them on a town hall to say pay rise has not been cancelled but postponed. Then on next call back tracks to say its been cancelled. All along he knew it was going to be paid. Now his sending emails... — read more

The bus has probably been missed
With marquee tech companies laying off in thousands, and recession kicking in most Western economies, two things are clear. One- hiring is going to dry up. Two- for the few positions that may open up, a large number of very cutting edge candidates... — read more
will there be a mass employee exodus now its clear pay rises won't happen?
wonder what will happen now that pay rises are not going to happen? Will many employees leave? DXC are assuming that this will not be the case and works will just get on with things unhappy but not so disappointed they walk.
The longer you stay here, the more your skills degrade
The moment I realized that I would not be able to upgrade my skills here, I decided to leave. There are many who have delayed leaving and put themselves in a situation where they are stuck in a company that does not compensate enough for their... — read more
DXC very un ethical
People can't afford groceries or heating as they didn't get a raise. They have got another job out of necessities to survive. The checky bar stewards at dxc ethics send out an email to say you shouldn't do another job. What sort of ethics or... — read more
Shareholders Looked After
I was stunned in yesterdays EMEA Town Hall when told no merit increases this FY as the company isn’t hitting the numbers, but that we had been able to pay shareholders more than £500m… I am not sure how the EMEA President thought that was worthy news... — read more
This forum is also broken
One would think this forum was outsourced to DXC. It's also broken. A few examples: Topic - EMEA Town Hall shows "no replies yet" but actually has 1 (and it's been there for a few hours) Topic - Where is 'Slave'ino? shows no replies, has 1 Older... — read more
EMEA Town Hall
No pay rises this year confirmed. The lying barsteward Hallbard dangled the carrot last quarter and said revisit this quarter. Promotions deferred to next quarter, they made a commitment to make them effective 1st November. Lied there as well... — read more
Where is Mike ‘Slave’ino?
He would be a very good people smuggler! Promises the earth and then once he’s got you over the border he will try and make you work for free. Sally Slaveino Shouty Karen Mike 2.0 Wally Mmm what else…?
That culture keeps people around. It’s not just the wages.
Look, you can pay people whatever you want,” he said. “If you don‘t have the right culture, those folks will not stay around. And that’s what my team has been focused on. It‘s been focused on since we put in the transformation journey. I’m very proud... — read more
Venting is good, but it doesn't change anything
No matter how much I complain, it doesn't change anything in this company. Nobody cares what the employees think. The issues are just piling up here. The only thing an employee can change is actually his/her job.
Mgmt doesn't deliver on promises
I've had enough and I no longer have any confidence in the management. They like to talk about possibilities in front of us without ever fulfilling their promises. Who still trusts them after so many times they failed to deliver on promises? Hoping... — read more
Then: Technical Architect redundancies. Now: a TA shortage
Mad how DXC made TA's redundant a few months back and now we have a TA shortage. surprised Pikachu face
New bout of WFR starting Nov 2022.
I joined CSC 2014, found it hard to believe a round of redundancies every 4-6 months. Management wanted everybody to do multiple roles (leveraging) for no extra money. With DXC it looked like it was going to change. But here we go again, Mike 2... — read more
DXC is a mess
DXC has a reputation for poorly treating its employees and creating an unhealthy corporate environment. It is unlikely it will find enough qualified workers to fill current openings and do not think for one second that more restructuring is not on... — read more
New strategy
DXC has changed strategy.. they know 50% of the employees are just hanging around ..average seniority of 20 years.. they cannot pay them all...new strategy is to let them die from boredom or resign.. whichever comes first
Word to the Wise when Resigning
Hello All - I was a long-term employee and finally left! DXC gave me one last stab in the back as I left by apparently "paying me too much" on my final check (2 days). They contacted me and wanted me to return a couple hundred dollars (US). My... — read more
Innovation Kick off
This whats wrong with DXC, they talk and don't really say anything. 30 minutes and he hasn't said anything yet.
what happened to the WFR options - are they still there or is DXC hoping the long timers just leave ?
I managed to get a redundancy from DXC ANZ a few years ago (just before ANZ was forced to align with the global 'model'). Walked away with over $100k (after tax), best decision I had made in a while. What's the chances now of getting a WFR from a... — read more

Excellent observation about DXC employees

Mid Year Review FY 23
With Mid year review coming up for FY23, shall I even bother requesting my manager to have it? As regardless of my performance will be getting a big fat zero at the end of FY23.
You shouldn't allow yourself to stagnate
A lot of people at DXC are just wasting their time and stagnating. Isn't that true? I hope, however, that most are looking for a job, even though it's not easy to get a new offer right now? Despite the fact that I've been applying for a long time... — read more
Greener pastures
Those who left mostly say that they got a significant pay increase. Some claim that they received even more than a 50% pay increase, which I find hard to believe, but everything is possible. I'm interested in whether that pay increase in new... — read more
How can Shouty say such clear and obvious lies on the earnings call and not get called out on it?
He said and I quote "The first step is to inspire and take care of our colleagues. The good news is that our attrition remains well under control" Everything in that statement is a lie, plain and simple? No inspiration of colleagues No care for... — read more
That culture keeps people around. It's not just the wages
I think what Shouty meant was "its certainly not wages that keep people around" Shouty is drowning. He was called on his BS about the big deal in Q1 that affected the numbers but would land in Q2. It didn't land in Q2 and now has vanished. He... — read more

What would stop the decline?
At this moment it seems that only a miracle can stop the decline, or the radical changes that the company has long needed. I don't have any high hopes anymore. My only mistake is that I didn't leave much earlier.
