Yes, it's not just one man greed. Her initials M W stands to gain $30 MIL resulting from the merger.. then when DXC is sold more $$ stock options to gain. Imagine $30 MIl equates to how many jobs that support family of four? Karma will work its magic soon or later...
I agree with all of the previous responses... There will be no company called DXC in three years' time. The countdown will begin in April 2018 and the last rites would be performed by 2020.
All along the way, shareholders' interests would be zealously protected while the employees, AND clients would be thrown to the wolves.
If the phase 4 transformation in the UK was any trailer, the main movie is going to be one mother-of-all violent bloodfest. It will leave corpses along the way, in the form of ruined careers, ruined families and destroyed lives, all because of the greed of one man.
The funny thing is, there is no law that can stop this from happening. Everything will be legal , legitimate and above the board, while committing the most henious of crimes in the most cruel manner. That is the beauty of Americal Corporate culture. You will be slayed but it won't be counted as a crime.
Failed, gone or sold and in 2/3 years
Nowhere ...
GONE
DXC will be just like it's NEW job postings from CSC legacy business says. They will once again be operating as Covansys, with a US based sales end and a USPS spin-off. The biggest difference is that the jobs in India will be flowing to the next emerging low-cost providers. For those readers who dont know Covansys was an India based service provider that was 'merged into CSC' and is apparently still doing business, now as DXC !! US born employees will be treated as the 'red-headed stepchildren'. Covansys has H1B and a rotation of L-visa opportunities down to a science. The CSC org I was part of, located in US, was < 15% US born.
I disagree actually.
Lets start with 3 years time:
a) 80%+ employees in "low cost" centres - not all of which will be India - also Mexico, Poland and Pontiac USA.
b) 30% of the value in DXC today to be paid out in cash to shareholders (that's a pretty blazon asset strip by anyone's standards!)
*a) and b) above are categorically going to happen - its in the shareholder briefing. Its not speculation.*
c) Overall employee reduction from 156,000 today by at least 26k in FY18 and probably another 30k in FY19 and FY20, leaving 100,000 by FY21.
After those first 3 years? I would say that focus will shift to the next latest and greatest buzzwords and that anything that isn't the latest buzzwords will be parcelled up and sold off...
I say I would say that, but that will happen regardless and continually along the way. One thing our new HPE colleagues won't have experienced before is having a glorious leader who's idea of "long term strategy" being whatever he decides to talk about one minute and discarded by the time he has to say something the next time.
Play a little game with me, listen to the analyst call at the end of Q1 and see if you can find one element of carry over to the Q2 one a mere 12 weeks later. Other than that the lies will still be lies and that laying off staff is a given constant.
I'd love to say 5 years from now Lawrie will have finally filled his pockets enough to f*** off, but I doubt it and even if he does, another wannabe parasite will be along to pick the bones clean.
Where it's founders intended it to be, forgotten and absorbed into some outsourcing house from a cheaper shore. Meanwhile, a lot of rich executives will be living it up somewhere, while the loyal employees they WFR'ed try to make ends meet in retirement.
Agreed. Meaningless and instantly forgettable brand that will be subsumed into TaTa or another Indian or Chinese giant.
Lawrie and Nefkens will walk away very rich indeed.
Just to throw in 2 more cents.. Agreed. If you were former HPE and read the fine prints how the 401k stocks be split into DXC (values and not stock split), it indicated all DXC shares will be frozen and be liquidated to generate cash in March, 2018.
Yes, DXC will be sold again to TaTa, Wipro or Infosys. It's very real.. they divested..spin merged.. pump up the stocks .stocks liquidated one year later to show DXC high in cash to be "pimped" and "ripped" for the right price!! All the executives get golden parachutes sail to their wealthy sunset 🌅.. I have seen it happened time after time...run when you can.. even if they try to entice you to stay...it's matter of time.. $$ has no loyalty or honesty
Acquired by another company
@ddm - agreed - the company will be probably acquired by TATA, Wipro or Infy
What's left of DXC in 5 years will have been bought by one of the Indian outsourcing companies.
