Whats wrong with DXC

Both the last CEO and the current one are below par. They then swamp the company with poor Execs like Drum, Rusl Jokes and Grey who just re invent different plans used before.

The next layers are full of Brocklehurst who are just yes men who processes and paperwork to stop real progress.

The managers below are just tickboxes for the Brocklehurst level.

All focus remains on cost cutting and wind down which they are good at.

This has been the strategy for the last 10 years.

Until they get someone who has done growth and investment in Employees the company will not change.


I don't know if it's worse to know the date or not

I just want this round to be over so I can have some peace of mind, even if only for a couple of weeks. I'm terrified of losing my job. It's a bad period in life, too many obligations and reasons to stress. Losing my job would probably bring me to my knees. I hate that it's come to this, but I can't change it right now.


High turnover undercuts efficiency

These days, it's fashionable not even to attempt retaining talent. Cost-cutting is the go-to strategy for propping up the share price and securing leadership bonuses. In the long term, they're cutting the branch they're sitting on. I'm not sure any of this is sustainable. The two groups most targeted in layoffs have been veterans, the well of knowledge and experience, and the younger talent that any company would ki-l for under normal circumstances. It's a recipe for disaster.


Let me save you some heartache

Stop believing that working harder will keep you safe. The employee who shows up, does the minimum, and spends the rest of the day working the room has better job security than the top performer on the team. When layoffs come, they look at your salary first and your results second. The company does not care how good you are. It cares how much you cost.


Use PTO before May 28th

Just a reminder to use your floating holiday and consider using some PTO if you have a large balance saved up. Most states only pay out up to 40 hours of unused PTO. If you receive a RIF notice on 5/28, you could lose most of your remaining PTO balance.

Layoffs even in AF, smaller territories, higher targets, no raises, greater levels of micromanagement, offshoring....leading many to question is the hard pivot to AI really worth it it just leave the ecosystem? Or even leave the entire tech industry as misery increases for everyone.


April/May Layoffs 2026

The soft layoffs in innovative medicine continue, and many of us are starting to question the criteria behind who is being let go. Employees who consistently come into the office three days a week, contribute meaningfully, and do their jobs well are being impacted, while others who rarely show up and contribute little seem to remain untouched.

It’s difficult not to notice how political the environment appears to have become. At times, it feels as though if someone in leadership doesn’t personally favor you, your position may already be at risk. That perception alone is concerning. It keeps repeating and everyone sees it.

I simply wish professionalism, maturity, and fairness carried more weight in these decisions. People should not feel that their livelihood is tied to office politics, personal insecurities, or whether they are personally liked by leadership.

Let’s be honest — some of these leaders are simply not qualified for the roles they hold. Titles and positions do not automatically make someone an effective leader. True leadership requires competence, accountability, emotional intelligence, fairness, and the ability to develop and support strong teams. Unfortunately, many employees are witnessing the opposite.

Too often, decisions appear to be driven by favoritism, office politics, personal comfort, or insecurity rather than actual performance and contribution. Strong employees who bring value, experience, and consistency are being pushed out, while individuals with the right relationships or visibility continue to advance despite limited impact. That creates frustration, distrust, and a toxic work culture.

What’s even more concerning is that many organizations claim to value innovation, collaboration, and talent retention, yet they continue to lose some of their most capable people because leadership lacks the maturity or confidence to manage high-performing individuals effectively. Great leaders build strong teams around them. Insecure leaders often view strong talent as competition.

At some point, innovative medicine has to ask themselves why morale is declining, why turnover is increasing, and why employees no longer trust leadership. The issue is not always the workforce. Sometimes the issue is the people making the decisions

Northeast Switch Techs forced into VZB

51 switch positions in the NorthEast are being forced into the union. Supposedly those people will have to bid for their current positions. This eliminates the need for current VZB techs to have to go to the switch locations for work.
Rumors have it that current VZB techs can bid on those positions as well, thus having those VZW techs to end up RIFd


Zero Sum Game

This is turning into a zero sum game of attrition. One leaves, one inherits, until they leave, and then the next inherits (meaning, they’ve inherited two in addition to their own). And then they leave…. Eventually the ones who will be leaving, are the very thing they inherited….the client. What a STUPID and expensive game, because eventually they’ll need to rehire, at elevated market pay rates in hopes they can get the clients back. It’s only a matter of time now before that next phase of client migration to other financial services firms accelerates.
