Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Friends, the next stop for DXC is the Knacker's Yard. Some of us will win and some of us will lose in that scenario. Just be prepared.

Can drumgoolam help? Or he is just hot air??

AI and DXC is an oxymoron. Service desks don’t need AI , they need technical people who understand problems and can fix the root cause. I am so sick of AI assistants that can’t help me!

I agree it’s defend because they can’t grow selling what nobody wants anymore or there is price competition that eroded margin. Cloud is a great example and the muppets at the top had no strategy to deal with that. Insurance is a prone example but is still stuck in legacy software era built in the 80s and far from contemporary in this low code/no code era. Though if the pig is fattened enough it will be sold to prop up executive pay days. That is the problem right there; it’s not about building a business. It never has. It’s about exec snouts in the trough. None of them unfortunately know or care about anything else. So let’s not sugar cost it. And NO there won’t be any pay rises.

DXC carry toomey managers and associated process, this ship can be fixed easily if they want to.

Once thelayers are cleared the product life cycle and delivery will be much more efficient. You can see kyndryl have alot less manager overheads for the same turnover.

We are at the point, where we need to "Defend the Castle and prepare for a long siege."

We need to protect our anchor clients in insurance and beyond. This way we will have something of value that we can use to barter our way into our next phase. With key client relationships, DXC could be an attractive merger partner or takeover target.

So get ready. This is going to be a war of attrition as similar IT companies (looking at you, Kyndryl), fight for our clients while reducing costs through AI and labor arbitrage.
