I don’t see any way DXC could bounce back and be successful again
As much as it pains me to state this, this is the ultimate truth, and false hope is something that could prove to be the biggest enemy of a DXC employee at this point. Don’t want to talk down on anybody or play the”wise guy”, I’m still at DXC too... — read more

Recently I declined my offer but I’m starting to regret it. I really cannot see how we are going to deliver in the future. Does anyone know if it will be accepted if I ask again now, given that people are at risk of CR.

Push back on age discrimination at DXC

New jobs question
How easy/hard was it to find a new job after leaving DXC? Laid off, fired, quit...it doesn't matter, I'm just curious if you have found a replacement by now.
Lazy Outsourcing
DXC saying it is moving labor to low-cost countries is just a smoke screen for investors. Companies that are truly interested in this explore all BRIC options and even options outside of that such as places like the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam... — read more
Surprise, Surprise! Another Hurricane; another DXC center shutdown
First Puerto Rico, and now New Orleans impacted by a weather disaster. Did they not expect such weather and impact? Sure, their cost-of-living is far most below major US metros. Well, so is their service and availability too.
DXC UK&I - lots of redundancy pools open
Focus is certainly on cost cutting and consolidating site working. Don't see much concern for client service. Presume driven by the top-level finance figures and years of strategic neglect 'too big to fail' (?)

Official - Chesterfield RDC to close
all delivery staff in Chesterfield are to be made redundant using a 15 day consultation which I believe is illegal! Clients not been told yet, it is impossible to do this without the service being totally broken, appears that DXC don’t care!
Lay-off ?

If you want to build a career, move on from DXC
