@1mn It feels like they are holding onto a lot of us now, yet giving us no work, and then trying to find ways to engineer it all as our failure. I am very happy to accept a VR as soon 2pm today. But one is not forthcoming. I apply every few months but get told the decision from last month has not changed. I remind them that I've had no billable work since my previous application. They run around asking why not and might find 10 mins work and a status call to attend. It's boring, but why quit and retire when you can wait and get a VR. Waited too long to quit now....

I've run out of things to learn, tidy up or check. I'm doing exactly what I've been asked to do - nothing!

Turn it down and it’s automatically CR in week 2
I know Modern workplace has to lose 60 heads most if not all have been offered VR
@OP DXC HR really don’t know themselves. Just like all previous WFR rounds, they just target the bench (it’s a numbers game). If they were a competent company they could engage properly with employees rather than using us as a body shop. Then accounts (e.g. Met Police) wouldn’t be in such a mess. This one in particular is a prime example of a genuine prospect with real potential growth for DXC (if managed properly) but unfortunately we all know the outcome.

I don't even know where I work now. No real work for months. Told stuff coming so not being let go. On a PIP due to no feedback. Hello who gives feedback on non work! The people who did know me left already. Happy to go, just make me the offer.
