The current state of this company is a direct result of the middle management hold overs from the EDS/HP/HPE ‘glory years’. They manipulated and bullied their way right to this point in time. I’m sure they can just refresh what we sell, or herd some more cats to save themselves.

This is the result of one person - Mike Laurie. He controls everything - very poorly I might add
This is so, sadly, true. I once worked on a “team” where the “leader” had to be the center of all attention. Like, seriously...to the point that when they spoke, you only listened. No conversation. Ridiculous, arrogant, story after story and you had to hang on every word. At one event, the “team” literally formed a semicircle around them like a f---ng preschool class at story time!
Short term greed works, but only for a time.
Let mother nature do its natural selection of the fittest. Me too in a way I feel this corp totally deserves its fate of decline, engineered by greedy top management. I only regret there will be golden parachutes as always, and justice wont be served.
YOU hit it RIGHT ON the button. The management is made up of a bunch of left clowns who manipulated there way to keeping there jobs. No talent but pure politics and the good ole boy/girl network. This company is a pure example of how nepotism and favoritism will bring down a company. This failure should be an example and taught in college workbooks and strategic business classes of how now to run a company.
‘He’ hasn’t done it alone though has he. So many so called Leaders and Managers, have gone along with it by ‘ just following orders’. I feel sorry for anyone, and I mean anyone left in this sh--hole of a company.
@ZlbFcaY-ogp, if you have any credibility, remove the word probably from your last statement but then CHRO may give "him" a rise.
I would say it was a direct result of one man at the top. An autocratic dictatorship that has ignored the warning signs; the advice of his team; of his staff and had stubbornly driven down of bullying and arrogance. He has destroyed the lives of so many whilst pocketing the riches off the backs of those he then cuts. Not one single staff member has any respect for this leadership and have seen the destruction and mess he has left behind.
I am afraid that there is little collateral value left in the shell. No talent. Costs too high. Revenues falling. Lack of innovation. Indecisive strategic intent and unclear of what market it is trying to excel in. It seems it has tried to do everything and achieved nothing.
Farewell DXC.
The only good to come out of this pathetic tragedy is the likelyhood of this becoming a 'case study' warning to the rest of the industry and a key lesson for future leaders as to the dangers of losing the respect of your own workforce. If the workforce think you are a dck, then you probably are a dck.
