Last number I saw was 135,000. Anyone got an update on that? It was sometime last year so it must be quite a lot less by now. We're now 2 years into "project DXC" (started April 2017) and I would guess we are heading towards the past stated... — read more

Sick time after putting in resignation
Sick time in the US is no longer paid out after separation from DXC. I have recently put in my notice, and have a little over 40hrs accrued. So if I do not use it I lose it. Should I be "sick" for 40 hours of my last two weeks, or work the entire... — read more
Not sure why the negativity

DXC might be underpaying you
I was laid off several months ago and every job offer I received since had a higher pay attached to it. And that's just the starting pay. This makes me think that DXC might be significantly underpaying its engineers. In any case, being laid off... — read more

What do you think the Q4 / Year End results are going to be and how do you think ML will spin it?

DXC is a corporate restructuring vehicle not a technology company - fact!
The company has not grown under Lawrie and CSC only ever shrank whilst he was in charge there. Meanwhile Lawrie and Saleh make deep cuts and buy other companies and sell off businesses, cut some more and re-organise structures. They do not worry... — read more
fed up waiting for WFR call
C'mon mikey boy - We're waiting for the big chop and sale. get a move on - no-one is going to leave when extra WFR cash can be sniffed.
I think it is unfair to suggest that DXC does not have a set direction. It certainly does have a direction; but you may need a shovel!
DXC does exist yes. It's logo and its $28B of assets. If you're on the inside, it probably won't feel that you are working for a wealthy company and even if the many investigations from court cases brought from investors and previous employees were... — read more

Just heard from my HR friend that with this year they start new performance management and compensation program. One of the key concepts to be introduced is that underperformers will be given choice to either leave or accept 5-10% salary decrease.
More acquisition related layoffs?
Since we know that layoffs follow every DXC acquisition - and not just consolidation related but also those that are needed to pay for the premium price - how bad do you think we'll be affected by the latest Luxoft purchase? I'm thinking another... — read more
