Do you feel you're suffering from burnout – having too much work, too much pressure and too many demands?
Or boreout – having too little meaningful work to keep you occupied, with whatever hours you do provide to the company being spent on irrelevant tasks that add little or no value to either DXC or its clients?
Or do you feel it's all about right and except that's you'd probably like more salary working at DXC isn't so bad after all?
Log your hours before they vanish into the DXC void with your every other coworker. The timesheet is the true output of DXC. Never forget
Hello useless dufuses, the very idea this company exists is for the executives to enrich themselves. You can do a polling, close backup tickets, do useless waterfall projects - but no one is going to care for you. The only reason you guys are still here is that you are NOT able to get a reasonable job elsewhere (this may sound very harsh - but do a soul searching and you will agree).
So ride the system and do another job or hobby.
..... But we are focused in enriching ourselves.
DXC seems to run all its projects using waterfall, yet it appears incapable of planning and sequencing when resources are actually needed.
I regularly get allocated to projects before they have even started and am expected to remain assigned until maybe eight weeks after they go live, effectively ring-fenced and unavailable for anything else. This seems to happen regardless of how much actual work is involved.
The most ridiculous example was a reference table change that took the client three months to test, but took me about half a day to code.
So yes, I'm totally bored of this job. Feel free to make me redundant whenever you're ready. In the meantime, I'll keep taking the money.
@cd I hear busy. But read totally unproductive. Our team also has someone who's job is literally to return misrouted tickets. There must be 10 a day. We get like 2 a week that are genuinely with us. The company is swamped in its own unnecessary processes!
Do you know what would enthuse me?
A new timesheet system.
Possibly some new security training, perhaps featuring some cameos from the cast of The Office.
I work in leveraged backup and the work never stops. 99% of the tickets are something OS based and nothing to do with Backup software and hardware, but I have to prove over and over again that the problem is with the OS teams !
@c4 STOp that stupid comment
Please fill in your time sheets.
Burnt out with never-ending work, however those above us one level has nothing to do other than make the few of us working lives living he-l, unless your an insider who gets the sweet heart workload.
Totally bored. Other than joining two daily status calls where managers endlessly tell us how busy everyone is, I've barely been needed for months.
There are perhaps 2 or 3 people on the project with actual work to do, but even they seem to be waiting on someone upstream a lot of the time. The only people genuinely busy are the project managers, producing endless status reports in different formats for different audiences. Busy yes, but necessary!?
