Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Which locations arebtaking out there own trash?

In the Philippines the labor room has been initiated in case of women who need to deliver on the job. Pregnancies are common and the company is taking a positive step towards putting pregnant women at ease.

The labor rate in the Philippines is approx $5 an hour for a consultant, so there is still a long way to go when it comes to cost cutting by was of labor rates.

@NuO7XfL-4khf What location(s) are asking you to take out the trash?

funny! take out your own trash?

They put a halt on individual trash collection from cubes, requiring us to drop our own trash in centralized receptacles near the front of the building. Emblematic of the titanic cost cutting happening at this sh---tier company.

Take away our trash cans (a health issue, if anything), but give Chief b---s--- Artist Mike Lawrie $28.3 million in earnings. Typical.

The "labor war room"? So, it IS a war against your own employees eh? That is so blatantly pathetic that I'm astounded there isn't an outright reviolt!

Re the $17 per hour comment.

5 years ago the average salary in HPE in Newcastle was £45k. It is now £27k.

Pretty soon we'll all be on $17 an hour

On one end of the pay spectrum is Mike Lawrie, CSC’s chairman, president and CEO. In CSC’s fiscal 2016, which ended on April 1, he brought in a total pay package worth $23.8 million. This makes him the fifth highest-paid executive in the Greater Washington region. It’s a 54 percent increase over the year before

We can save a lot of Tech jobs by sending the CEO position to a lower cost country!

$17.00 an hour, WTF can this person be doing to have such a low wage

"labor war room" - Its always nice when upper management considers employees as enemies to be vanquished as if in a war.

To @NuO7XfL-2tay , so true pennies smart and pounds foolish .. just as they (leadership) think they can outsmart everyone, it back 🔥..the sad thing is bad decisions by leadership always have a way to be covered up without consequences. The worker bees 🐝 are the ones suffered... massive WFR

Growth by 1000 cuts. Investors understand that this is a downward spiral, and they don't care... they trade by the day, and only want churn and instability to make profits. By the time the stock tanks, they've sold it off to some pension fund so the poor people can absorb the losses.

"Supply chain efficiency" is a neat way to say "screw over our vendors".

A long time ago, I worked for a small industrial outfit and a new accountant thought it would be a good idea to send back "excessive inventory" (though we'd need it soon to meet production) to our vendors. Our vendors did not take kindly to this tactic... they refunded nicely, but raised all their prices and instituted a "no refunds" policy - ALL OF THEM. The end result? Production delays trying to get back needed supplies into stock, increased production costs, because everything was marked up 10~30% more. It was a disaster. Never cross your suppliers.

Here some key excerpts below - Mike his own admission of achieving $1 billion cost savings by March 2018 by cutting work force. Yes, poor leadership unable to expand customers base. Exploit WFR to deceive shareholders with "artificial growth". Only motivation is to secure for their ogolden parachutes exits. $1 billion. Cost savings = blood shed in head counts (WFR).

" Labor cost cuts for DXC will begin this quarter and accelerate in coming quarters in accordance with local laws, Saleh said.

All told, DXC has said it expects to achieve $1 billion of cost savings by March 2018, with 70 percent of that coming from workforce cuts and supply chain efficiency.

"We are managing this thing very, very tightly so we know exactly what's going on," Lawrie said. "And then, we make adjustments as we go forward."

Come and get us CSRA! That company at least responds to employee company reviews on Glass door. Which sends a message that they care somewhat about employees. Unlike DXC

@Done with CSC. CSRA is "tremendously interested" in strategic opportunities and acquiring dxc's govt contracts.

The process is a joke with Mike Lawrie personally rejecting required positions for weeks or months. We had $17 an hr positions be rejected every time he met. The reasons were always a wild guess. Rejected: The positions must be in a low cost center offshore. This is for a US govt contract that is Federally required to be onshore sir. Rejected: We don't do any govt work anymore. Actually yes we do sir. Rejected: This unit isn't meeting profitability targets. Actually we are exceeding them sir, except with the positions unfilled we are paying time and a half overtime every week while you screw around.

Lawrie talks about cost savings but under the covers costs are skyrocketing due to poor management and unqualified staff. Virtually every cost takeout led to lower margins. The only savings came on the backs of staff in the form of benefit and salary cuts.

thanks for sharing
