I'm a contingent worker at HPE. I work for a vendor. Some of our projects just got reduced or cut. Some went to internal HPE employees. I keep telling my vendor manager that they are either cutting work entirely or giving it to internal HPE employees. Its what I think, anyway. Thoughts or insights on my suspicions being correct?

Comment concerting DXC, inability to retain staff is a sign of poor upper management. Also it is a sign of promises being. broken, people being lied to, up and down the food chain. Middle managers can play that game for a few months sometime up to 6 but they will be found out. The busy bees working under them quit. The managers above them see the numbers are screwy....just remember my uncles old saying. Why are middle managers just like cats, they love to cover their sh*t.
I worked as a contractor with other contractors and dozens in my team got cut. This was years ago when the economy was good much less now. Look for another job quick.
The same can be said about Unisys. A large majority of the ex-HP field engineers have left the company, myself included, and their vacancies have either not been filled or sent to low-skill contractors. They've reduced their labor force enough to not be able to hold up their end of the contract in many geographies. In talking to some contacts still at HPE, the company is starting to feel the pain of losing control of certain aspects of their business. Who knows if any actual change will happen though.
If the vendor is DXC then I would not be surprised. DXC can't retain staff or keep staff motivated and it shows.
