Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

"A couple of years back, one senior manager fu---d up so badly by mentioning a couple of people in some hall of fame bullsh-t that resulted in one person becoming the target of bullying and ostracisation"

If you shine, you end up with the horrible brown stuff work to complete. y'know, the work that everyone else purposely does badly so they can avoid being assigned it.

That isn’t true. When the promotions are back on the managers shout about it from the roof tops to make staff aware that they are giving deserved people more.

Why do you think Bolville mentioned it and the number given out?

They are trying to say they are NOT stifling personal growth.

[..] and nobody knows anyone who got a raise.

@stb+1uzoBB1m

I don’t know a single person getting anything this year.

This pay raise/bonus process mandates the employee and manager to keep their mouths shut about it when talking to other employees, or face disciplinary action. That is with good reason from a couple of perspectives. One socially acknowledged reason is flaunting your wealth fuels resentment in others.
Another reason is DXC's toxic culture that will go after anyone actually getting a bonus or a pay raise. A couple of years back, one senior manager fu---d up so badly by mentioning a couple of people in some hall of fame bullsh-t that resulted in one person becoming the target of bullying and ostracisation. I don't know the specifics except that person had to quit his job from the sheer mental stress as a result of it.
One more thing: DXC's culture maintains an approach of no transparency, and the pay raise process is a fantastic example of it. Problems are not openly discussed (fear of retribution) unless it guarantees anonymity.
If execs aren't open for discussion on critical issues with the business and maintains this reckless censorship, DXC will keep sinking until the bankruptcy lawyers are fighting over its remains.

The clients here it. It worries them, they won't be renewing with DXC. Whilst their other suppliers have happy staff who get an annual pay rise and bonuses and treats for finishing projects. We'll just press our nose to the window whist they are all having their slap on the back party, and wish we could get some of that, knowing it'll never come out of DXC, but we're all so miserable nobody will have us.

@yix+1uzoBB1m- I have seen this recommendation (to highlight on FB/Linkedin etc) many a times from other contributors.
That is pretty much impossible, as those forums do not allow anonymous posting.
The consequences of posting something negative on those forums, with our real name, could be disastrous.
That is the reason it is not happening.... people do want raises and career progressions, but not at the cost of losing their job in the first place !!

Like others here, in UKI, got a 1 again, and no hint of a reward and I don't know of anyone else in UKI that has had one either, and trust me the topic of pay comes up a lot. It's the only topic of conversation when 2 or more DXCers get together

I got a 1. Took a team lead role last year. Cracking feedback from client and account SDM. 1 rating was peer reviewed and kept. Not heard a thing. UKI

"many of you will have already benefited from the discretionary raises we have already made"

I don’t know a single person getting anything this year. Who was he talking to when he said already benefited? The execs on the call?

Good idea with the hash tags.
