Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Endless faffing about

The problem with DXC is that very few people seem to know what they're doing, and even those who do are often locked out because they don't have the permissions they need.

I spend longer on status calls listening to people say they don't know or aren't sure than I do doing any actual technical work. We're all just sitting around waiting for nothing to happen.

I'd probably quit if I thought this was going to continue forever, but I'm fairly convinced the whole thing will crash and burn before the end of the year. So I'm not about to walk away from the possibility of a redundancy package.

For now, the job is basically: dial into two status calls a day and listen to the same drivel on repeat. I have no idea what they are trying to deliver, that bit has been totally lost in all the faffing about everyone does around here.

@aw Dedicated account.

It's like we're not even part of DXC!!

I have no access to DXC resources inside the clients systems. At at the same time have little access to the clients systems either.

Most of yesterday was spent listening to people say they didn't know why that doesn't work, or they should have access, but not sure why they don't. Nothing came of it, I don't think the access will change.

Yet another new process has been invented that nobody seems to know anything about. Instead of our managers saying no we are not doing that for the first time on a go live. It's accepted as just the way it is.

I am quite convinced they don't want the work doing, and certainly don't want it to be a success with DXC.

Are you providing leveraged services, or constrained to one account?

Now ex DXC, I was leveraged Middleware, and so there was normally something of interest that needed discussion or intervention. But yes, on joining specific account calls, I'd agree the term faffing about sums it up.
