When did you get your last DXC Merit pay increase, mind was in 2022 less than 4% because I had a great people Manager that sadly to say is no longer with DXC

@2rt the new UK union laws start from January too.
This will force the company to allow unions to talk to all UK employees via physical meetings or electronic communications.
At the moment the union(s) are not permitted by dxc to do that.
Expect to see a big push for membership and possibly even enough members to force their hand.
The day is coming. The UK and EU are proposing the companies will have to publish a salary for advertised jobs, and will also have to share salary information internally. I can imagine how this conversation will go...
Me: "I've just seen my colleague earns 25% more than I do."
Boss: "And!? Yyou already knew that, just that now you know for sure, but as before, if you don't like it leave."
Today I filled up my dxc van with diesel and got £1.45 worth of nectar points, whoop, that’s more than dxc has given me since being dumped in FDS! I’m looking forward to retirement and hope with some miracle, the company goes bankrupt or someone else buys them, the exec are all bull and in it for the $$$$$$$$
Does getting VIP treatment with an upgrade to 5 STAR status via Perks At Work count as a merit increase? 🤔
@cq 🤪🤪
F’all chance of one of those. They will dangle the carrot and then say Q2/3 was cr@p so sorry pal no pay rise.
I've been surpluses to requirements for some time now - what I don't understand is why I've not been invited to leave. It's not like I'm trying to hang on an they are doing me a favour. I guess they think that by giving people no work to do that they'll eventually quit. Buy why would anyone do that. Login, fill in the time sheet, collect a salary for no effort. It's just boredom money.
Guys, you may not want to hear it but lets be honest here ..
Management are betting on full blown AI todo our jobs, its obvious.
Why give raises when they can AI everything and get rid of the carbon units saving a load of dosh for their bonuses.
It's only a matter of time so once you accept that you ARE replaceable, better to move on now.
@jz Utter BS
Joined in November 2022. Had my first discussion on promotion in November 2023. 27% pay raise in March 2024 with a merit promotion. Spent an year on the role. Gained some management experience. Promoted again in October 2025 with a 16% pay raise. Spent 8 months on the new role. Quit company in mid 2026 for a 20% raise and shifted to another company. While DXC was sh-t, my management and team were gold. Loving the new company though. Everything is gold here.
Once 3% over 5 years in the company. Everything else doubled. Thanks
Its never going to happen. If you listen to Danny G, one sentence he says he recognises people need raises and have recieved nothing for years, the next sentence its down to you guys to grow the company to get a raise, the next sentence we have given raises and promotions to a large number of employees.
His been on the DXC Exec how to not speak the truth training.
DXC hasn't grown in its existence and its not going to, and because the Execs are incompetent garbage they expect the employees to grow the company.
He actually means there will be no raises.
I had a rise in 2015, and then another in 2024. Based on this I expect my next increase to be in 2033, anything sooner will be a bonus. Although they need the share price to crash again around April to justify another round of 0's. But they seem to be able to send it up with just words, so I'm sure they can send it down again.
It was following the great Salvino promise of a bright new future when DXC was born around 2018. A massive 1% and f all since. Hence gave up working years ago but mastered the art of the various time sheet systems, so every cloud.
1% in 2024. I had to cancel the treasure bath. 😑
It's easy to increase your hourly rate at DXC. Do less! It turns out you can do pretty much nothing all week, and will still get the same pay. Once in a while someone will ask what you're doing - just reply - the tasks I've been set.
A select group will see their exceptional hard work pay off. The top 10% will receive a 1% salary increase. The rest of you can take comfort in this inspirational message and continue going above & beyond without a payraise.
@cc Heck I made that in 1990
@aw 50K I was making that in 2003 LOL
2022 also. think it was around 1%.
since then my energy bills have doubled, water bills trebled. council tax increases each year but 5-10%. food bills have soared. fuel for cars gone up by 50%. real world pay cut each year.
2020
my last big pay rise was when I jumped ship from DXC to another company in the same space, jumped from less than £20k a year to £45k a year, and now up to £50k a year
