Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

dxc should train themselves on proper negotiating skills over toilet rolls ! what a bunch of lunatics.

This is such a load of crud! We didn't even have trash service for a month at our building. It's still pilled up. I called EDCO and they said we didn't pay the bill. Took the landloard to make them pay just the trash bill.

This company s---s. any corporate email is a hot wind lie... looking for another job

It all becomes clear. The travel ban and closing sites, it wasn't to save costs or cook the books for the stock market to inflate the share price, it was to reduce our carbon footprint all along! Mikey, you should of made that clear at the start, we would of been more supportive! We've got you all wrong!! Wow what a guy!

3 million hours of Secure The Human and that other mandatory Values sh--e. Wanker.

@PfIr6Hm-uvp - you missed one:

• We distributed thousands of Honor Packs to homeless veterans in the United States through the DXC Home of the Brave campaign containing "Dummies guide to NetOps" and an offer for a minimum wage job good for any US data center, as well as a mylar heat blanket handy for crashing behind the dumpsters at the data center between shifts.

Anyone seriously thinking about joining DXC should run away. This typical corporate baloney rains down on you constantly as if they really care about what they are saying. Training is a joke and done online on your time. Simply put, you are an expendable resource and they are nothing but a glorified recruitment firm (body shop). Your employment is assured until the end date of the current contract or be prepared to move across country on your own dime. Avoid.

I remember they fired a load of folk who supported and achieved goals for the sustainability programme because DXC could no longer sustain them!

I am sure we're all very sceptical about the 3 millions training hours, given that most training was rejected in the past year unless it was absolutely critical, lives depended on it, the country economy wouldn't survive without it and you could get it approved through 5 levels. I think the total training hours was a summation of all the time we all spent on workday, e-tes, myTime and Snow trying to get the things to work. Get rid of those systems and you'd halve your carbon footprint overnight.

We introduced 1,700 young people to the excitement of job insecurity, no raises, no recognition but the promise of a career path, like that wrong turn in the forest, covered in bear-trapping restrictive policies they've yet to put their foot in and trigger.

Pay and growth are usually the most important items for the young "kids" (to use Mikey's colloquialism) and they will often ask their colleagues about such fantasies or seek advice on here. Of course, because the long-stay staff have been lucky enough to have benefited from Mike's '3 million hours of training', they can confidently respond with the DXC branded client language toolkit of "Erm" or "Er..." before responding with the best career advice you'll ever likely to here in there or on here: "if you want career progression your best bet is through the door you just came in through."

Most of us visiting this forum do so, to watch the company's dying 3rd act of this 3 act play. The drama is tense and the script is constantly being updated to make the future policy changes even funnier. We like to watch how the company promotes all its missteps as 'challenges' and its reductions as 'opportunities for new synergies' and its lack of strategic or operational planning and financial mis-management as if its all a giant game of monopoly where all the workers are in crowded in lo-cost jails watching Mikey the boot running round the global board building hotels on quicksand.

I am amazed the stage scenery hasn't collapsed all around Mike, leaving an audience of shocked stakeholders, covered in dust and muck and wondering: "So wait, what just happened? Where's he gone? What do you mean he's retired?"

The part about the training is totally BullSh!t! We were told at CSC when I was there that you had to do training on your own time. I had maybe 3 courses paid for in 20 years at that dump! So Mikey is definitely telling porky pies ie lying for all the American dudes. The new DXC is obviously awash in horsesh1t! Like I always expected...Investors in People my A$$!

Mike is old school, 80's mentality and a dinosaur. I've met him and he's really not that intelligent and knows very little about the underlying technology DXC actually wants to sell. I would not do business with DXC with a ten foot pole.

• We achieved a 31 percent absolute energy reduction against former CSC’s target of 20 percent — a full year early. - "By getting rid of buildings we no longer have staff for....."

• We delivered more than 3 million training hours to our people (1.8 million for former HPE Enterprise Services and 1.3 million for former CSC). - "3 million hours of "ethics" training, or as we called it "What would Mikey NOT do" "

• The DXC Codes challenge introduced 1,700 young people in 14 countries to the excitement and job-readiness benefits of coding. - "hey, our "next gen" offerings have to be written by someone - little did these youngsters know, but they were coding the next best healthcare and insurance software"

More corporate b---s--- and bollocks! Does anyone actually buy this crap!

How many of the 3 million training hours were real, useful training and how many were Spartans?
