How many people are left in DXC?

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

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
