Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Shameful, Scandalous & Incompetent. That’s being nice…

In the last three months we have been paid late once & have had our pensions messed up. Colleagues are leaving on mass, nobody is being replaced, we are expected to do more work without any benefits or reward and some colleagues are overloaded with that much work I’m surprised they haven’t left already. The company is a disgrace from top to bottom & the wage I receive with the responsibilities I / we is nothing short of scandalous. If you do a good job you get penalised & can’t pursue other opportunities, I have the mind to stop all my extra clearances & do the bare minimum. I used to enjoy working for DXC but every week gets worse, it genuinely feels like he-l, and the day I leave this torrid company will be the best day of my working life by far. I know that the majority of my colleagues are seeking new jobs & hopefully a load of us leave at once leaving a massive mess & for the system to collapse. If you are thinking of working for DXC don’t plan to stay here for more than two or three years otherwise it will become utterly unbearable & you will hate every single day.

What job should I go for next? One in a supermarket or a bin man? I’ll get paid more either way, I’ll have less responsibilities & I won’t be at risking of going to prison if I mess up.

I took VR almost 3 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did.
My mental health improved overnight and the company I work for now values and respects my experience. Employees are valued across the board and they actively invest in you in the form of training, pay rises and bonuses.
They also actively encourage moving about the business so if you wanted to apply for a role, you would be encouraged, not penalised.

Good luck to those still there.

Best to leave now and go to a more employee friendly place.

Slightly opposite. I've had no real work for months. Because I'm not doing much they think I can be on several projects simultaneously. All of which seem to need 2 status meetings a day. It's literally half the day on status meetings because they typically scheduled to prevent you from doing anything else at all between. I stay because there might be a redundancy soon. But feel I already quit long since back. There is no reward. There probably won't even be a redundancy, they'll block our access and then say we didn't do something critical right at the end.

To add some more to the above the company absolutely drains you of motivation, how people have been here from over ten years is beyond me, please tell me how you do it because I’m struggling already. To see good colleagues leave makes it even harder & if VR came up towards the end of the year I would genuinely consider it, despite not having a job lined up as that is how bad this place has become. It drains you all day & when you get home you can’t fathom the energy to do anything sometimes, even the simple things are like a chore.

Sorry about that rant, Let’s hope this week doesn’t get any worse!
