We can easily dispatch another 30% and it will still function. There are too many coasters, old timers sitting there doing nothing. Too much dead weights. Americans are lazy.

If there's one skill AT&T has, it's taking something good and ruining it. Nobody does that better.

This whole place is embarrassing to be part of. Top to bottom.

Come on - we know it’s coming, who’s going to spill the details?

If you work for DXC you are right where you belong.
The good people have long ago left leaving behind groups of dead wood.
Sad part is, the dead wood are the ones that don't leave and are whining..
If you are working for this company in the US, you are on borrowed time. But if you are just hiding there, ride it out. Your next job will no doubt be a mimimum wager anyway.
Probably at Wal Mart or its equivalent
Glad to be gone after 10 years of carrying deadwood. ON ALL Levels!

The legacy EMC group is the only group making any money in ISG.

The Dell side couldn't put two spoons together in a drawer. Anything they develop has more bugs in it than an outhouse.

My boss has been hinting that there's no longer a cliquey barrier for entry into exploration. I've heard there's a reorg coming. What are the current whispers?

Question for current DXC employees. Looking for honest perspectives from inside the company.

From the outside it often feels like DXC has been stuck in a long turnaround story. But what does it actually feel like to work there right now?

A few things I’m curious about:

How much do you hate or like working at the company?

What’s morale like inside your team?

Are your projects and client relationships growing, or mostly shrinking?

Do you feel like anything meaningful is actually changing at the company?

Are talented people on your team staying or are they leaving?

Is your manager engaged with your team or mostly invisible?

Do you feel leadership communicates clearly about what they are doing to grow the company or does it feel vague?

Are new projects focused on modern tech (cloud/AI) or mostly legacy systems?

How realistic are internal targets and deadlines?

Do teams feel stable or is there constant reorganization?

Do you feel the company invests in employee development or mostly focuses on cost cutting?

Would you recommend a friend to join DXC right now?

Really interested in real experiences from people inside the company...

Any other tenured SMB reps on here also seriously missing the vibrant and fun culture of old? Completely gone at this point and morale at all-time low. Quality of management also at all-time low, zero value provided day-to-day beyond pipeline review and “let me know if I can help”, and just an overall toxic environment. No wonder so many reps have left on their own accord over the last few years.

Was fortunate to get VR last year after 10 years of no pay rises and broken promises. The annual drudge of appraisals, getting feedback, self evaluation etc was mind numbing, knowing nothing would ever come out of it. My manager was worse than useless. A total waste of time who blagged and lied his way year after year. I know why people stay as it’s a cushy number and no one cares. Projects drag on and it’s amazing how clients put up with the incompetence. I’m just interested to know what actual accounts are still going in the UK. Not much on here is posted but in the last few town halls I attended there was always a ‘positive pipeline’ so just curious as to what current employees are actually working on - or more pertinent what codes are you booking time to for doing next to nothing? My last account was Defra which died a slow and painful death!

It turns people who once cared about their work into people who just watch the clock

Look, I get being unhappy. This place gives plenty of reasons. But if you're at the point where you're just bringing everyone down, maybe it's time to go. The constant complaining, the negativity, it gets into the walls. It becomes part of the culture. If you can't find a way to be even a little okay here, leaving might help you and help the people who stay.

I worked at Chevron, currently work at EM, but if I could turn back time and choose where to go back in my career, I'd go to pre-Pioneer Parsley. Being bought completely destroyed it, but before? A truly great place to work with some of the best people I've met in my life.

I’d be curious to see what people feel like the safety culture of the company is today? Better or worse than it used to be?

this board has gone quiet.have u given up ? get w/da program.come on people.time to change mutualof america for the better.where is the Spirit of America.markets are tanking.revenue hit has been $4,000,000 less since 2/27.perfect storm set up for 3/16

Employee Appreciation Day was today (Friday 3/6) in case you missed it. Did you guys get an email from a manager today that wasn't hollow or generic as the AI that wrote it?

Anyone actually feel appreciated?

I am noticing that threads about certain GTS leaders getting deleted. Just for asking if they are leaving or not.
I do not see threads getting deleted for any other leaders.

A few questions regarding 3M's mascot, Scotty: Who watches him all day? What does it cost to have people watch him? Where does he go at night? How much did it cost to trademark his name: The Science Lab? How much time and money went into this decision (legal, PR cost, etc) to acquire him? Was he a rescue dog/puppy mill/legitimate breeder?
Is there any chance he will get laid off or spun-off?
Maybe a better mascot would be a black widow spider or a preying mantis, you know, one's that eat their own.

Directors that say yes to every request from VPs no matter how ridiculous or last minute the ask continue to survive. They have their head so far up the VPs a$$ hoping to advance their own career with no regard to their team. Truly a good ole boys club at that level. At the end of the day every employee is just a number with a salary that will be the deciding factor in the next round of layoffs. No amount of extra effort will be taken in to consideration, so take your PTO and enjoy time with friends and family.

You could be sick on your death bed and Humana will still want you to call in and report your absence

This isn’t to be negative or to drag Fidelity Abby or the company as a whole. As a younger employee I certainly didn’t get to enjoy the Ned times, by the time I joined the green line was fading away as the main marketing tactic. Nonetheless, Fidelity allowed me to transform my life from being homeless to being a successful young licensed entrepreneur. The skills I learned and the people I worked with provided value to me that is unlike any other. It was an honor to work in the branch during the growth phase and see the success of the new associates. There was change but the one thing that always stayed the same was that fidelity was home it was family it was great. We all talked up the company because we really believed in it. At some point over the last year, people have stopped singing the praises of the green machine. I watched what was once a great branch full of culture and teamwork turn into a place of fear. Sure some people work harder than others but none of us were slackers. The fear has caused everyone to keep to themselves and that is resulting in accusations that we do not want to contribute.

THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP CLIENTS ARE FIDELITY. As someone who talks to clients all day long, trust me when I say they want the old fidelity back and so do the employees!!!!!

Is the lack of managerial support a new Humana tactic to quiet fire employees? Have you noticed a lack of leadership? I have and I’m pretty sure Humana is using this new tactic to motivate you to leave.

Work has become a complete insane asylum. Happy employee appreciation day for those still here….for now! Everything is great and always has been. Nonstop pointless and chaotic reorgs are our winning strategy. Proud to post it note my love for vz!

This potentially makes arm a monopoly, and with Softbank blocking career mobility to Graphcore, things could get very constrained for engineers in the UK

Actions speak louder than words....save the umpteen emails.

VPN always.. POWER in Numbers!!

Well between RIF and worse strategic attempts to get people to quit with case loads being unreasonable ir putting people in work plans the oregon and WA teams are about dead and gone.

DCO is a soulless id--t. CSMs are pale images of what they had been in past, all the talent and integrity leadership is gone.
At least competitors are coming in

My manager isn't engaging with the team at present, I pinged the other day and not even an acknowledgement

Not joining daily calls etc

Are there changes coming ?

0% for managers in many groups. Fully met but 0% and lower Sti's than last year. Great year numbers wise in these groups. What's going on? They said they didn't have enough money and had to take care of people. Is it the $2M they had to give the guy who couldn't start . . . what a joke! We are tired of beating goals and getting 0.

Let’s remind leadership who runs this company!

The company consistently advocates for metal health and talking to someone. Rip the bandaid off and just let everyone know where they stand within the new org chart. The anxiety and stress within our employees is at an extreme high right now. Come on OVV make your decisions already.

Once upon a time, the biggest concern was the lack of ‘good for you’ products in the portfolio. Today, the biggest concern is the lack of good leaders in the organization. How is each function holding up, is there any hope?

One of the most fascinating management models I’ve seen recently is the “mutual admiration club.”

A small leadership circle hires each other, promotes each other, and then gives each other outstanding performance ratings. Meanwhile, the people actually running operations and supporting customers suddenly become “underperformers.”

It’s a brilliant system if the goal is to protect the club and shift accountability elsewhere.

Unfortunately, it’s not a great system if the goal is to run a serious business.

In the long run, organizations usually discover that echo chambers are very good at protecting leadership, but not very good at running businesses.

How about this employee appreciation email?!? She is thankful for her job now go appreciate each other.

What a joke, absolutely tone deaf Execs making this stuff up.
RIF 13k, now to appreciate you learn how to use AI tools

That's that, anyone EXITED for the new merch.
Nobody really has anything better to do.
