Revenge
Just as IBM did with LEAN and McKinsey previously, HP/HPE/EDS/CSC/DXC/McKinsey is creating thousands and thousands of enemies. Not all of us end up being a door greeter at Walmart; many move on to other IT and technology jobs often with managerial... — read more
Another thought
This low life company is using best shore as a tool to put out to pasture those folks targeted and to reduce overall payroll. You will see they will eventually revert back to US based employees after they weed out those they want to and the high... — read more

Would be nice for all to hear any insider news and rumors from Get to now Mike event taking place these days in Texas. Is it per change that there is now word about delivery organization so far since DXC day one event?
DXC as it stands is a train wreck.

Lack of communication between recruiters and managers
