Performers (in butt kissing) need not worry..

This is baloney. I have been a top performer for the past 12 years, and I just got my notice.
Performers need not worry.....because you can find a better job somewhere else.
The layoffs will continue until morale (or more importantly the Stock Price) improves, or there is no one left to layoff.
Obvious troll is obvious. Unless you are as stupid as our "management"?
Every Monday or every other in the US?
Delivery, operations, or remaining shared functions?
A little birdy told me another list of wfr for Monday the first of May. I am referring to US. Why don't hey just get rid of all of us at once so they can move the company to India and put everyone out of pain.
To "runforyourlives", thanks for the itemized list of "glorified" investor "incentives" published by DXC. To sum it up, staff optimization translates into WFR. The figure of $1 Billion is not a "fix" number. They have "modeling" tools before spin merge. They will not stop at $1 billion if dxc is ripped to be "pimped", and more WFR is required just to show the right "buyer" DXC has all the right "tricks" to offer.... trust me they will not stop at $1 billion WFR. If you were the shareholders would you complain if you are convinced more WFR will result in higher ROI ?? I think not!!!
I was the best performer of the Team and today is my last day in DXC. From March 2017, I am seeing all the best developer are being fired or leaving the company in AMS and EU region.
Even though , I wish best for the company as yet there is huge number of people employed.
5 Exceeds Expectations reports in the last 5 years before the "driving" bollox came in. Be assured that being dicked for WFR has the square root of bugger all to do with the quality of your performance. It is purely down to whether McKinsey put you on the list or not.
The Poundshop Kapos that save themselves by shunting others out of the door should be aware that one day, within the next 12 quarters, their turn will also come. The presentation to DXC shareholders documents that very clearly.
Ultimately it's not how you deal with the whole corrupt WFM process that matters it's how you deal with taking yourself forward.
$ 1.1 billion work force optimization probably means something like 25,000 lay-offs. 7500 from Europe. Probably twice as many from North America. With the remainder from off-shore sites.
From that Investor Pack - If you're technical and located in a non-cheapshore location then it's not just about being a high performer, you also have to be considered a "Next-Gen" role
Examples it gives are Architects, Agile project managers and DevOps Engineers. I guess these can all be done from Cheapshore too, but they know they have to retain a certain amount of nearshore talent to plonk in front of the customer when there are sales or satisfaction surveys at risk,
Of course it's a massively over-simplified model and in actual fact it's usually the ancient tech that they struggle to cheapshore. So I foresee the 25% of staff that will be left in nearshore locations being a mix of high performing "next-gen", legacy obscure complex stuff they can't begin to unpick and anything that is restricted by location and has to be delivered on a secure site (usually Defence)
I was one of the ones recently given notice. My performance reviews were always positive. I received bonuses and raises as well. Management could not or would not tell me why I was chosen. If you are still employed by DXC, find something fast and get out. I wish I did that.
@@N0qQkUa-clb its not $2 billion in savings by 2018 its $1 billion

-
$1.1 billion is 'Workforce Optimisation'
-
$200m in 'Facilities Rationalization'
-
$200m in 'Policy Alignment'

Having been explicitly told by senior regional management that employee cost is considered before how much that employee is worth, I wouldn't count on that.
One of the top performer and most experienced on my team was laid off a few days ago.
performers need not worry ... says who ?
maybe you are referring to 'circus performers' who are there in office willing to bend over to satisfy the whims and fancies of their manager
you are probably a manager yourself to post such a one-liner as you obviously can do no better and feeling the heat of the bad situation already
there is no point continuing with a company that does not value its employees especially if there is no career there.
This must be trolling
Best performers are not WFR'd. You must not have been out there in the real world. Perhaps you feel safe and invincible cause
you are still there..😂.. it's just a matter of time. If the goal is to achieve $2 billion savings by 2018, how to do that? Headcounts .. Two losing business - CSC and HPE merged just to be sold in the next couple of years .. have you heard of ostrich syndrome? Head in the sand and stay there.. lol
It's all about the money, not the talent.
LOL - two of my buddies were let go since March. Both were good enough to get performance bonuses last year, and were in the top performance review tier.
It's all about money. If they can replace you with a cheaper, off-shore resource, they will. If there are quality issues down the road, well that's just the lower management not doing their job properly.
Meanwhile the execs continue to rake in the cash, and will walk away rich when the walls finally cave in.
The question is need not worry about what? In my experience it is true that the best performers are not WFR'd. But, it puts more on their plate when others are let go, whether it is taking over the workload of the WFR'd person or training the replacement in some low cost location.
Head in the sand much? Lol.
Just keep smoking whatever it is you're smoking, OP.
@jfc my thoughts exactly
lol
