DXC employees are being told to "get growth", something the Company or Execs have never achieved in 10 years. Effectively saying we will never give you a raise. What a dead end company.

Share price sliding down again today. I assume the execs got their pay award determined yesterday so they can announce whatever they like now to send it down to justify 0% for staff.
@m1 Yes. I've basically not been asked to do much for around 2 years either. I'm assigned to a project, but the task is only to attend a daily status meeting, and then be available in case anyone needs something. Every now and then there's some panic, but it's soon blows over. I can't justify my job. I keep asking to be released, but they say I'm needed! I've yet to find out what for, and I suspect nobody actually knows.
@m1+ DXC UK is awful because Useless Brock with his small mind tactics has control over a large part of it. The rest of it are all ex army mates at the top, all favours are given to ex army nod nod wink wink. If you have not been in the forces your skrewed.
Its a closed network.
They can’t tell you how they measure growth , jyst ask them.
Does anyone know what this new President is doing? Arrived in a fanfare, usual ‘change bs…’ than nothing for ages. Can’t remember last meaningful town hall or any employee comms. Complete radio silence. Someone somewhere must be doing some work? I’ve done nothing for last 2 years. No other company like this one. DXC UK is awful. Is rest of DXC like this?
I would believe that statement, if the executives, the board didn't get pay increases, stock options , bonus every dam year!
They all should take large cuts in all of these so the employee's can het something!
F Them we work our butts off , in Storage and Backup
@h1 DXC salaries are ok. They are just not fair. I earn 20% less than colleagues, just because I've been here longer. I can't say the people who get paid more do or know more. There is no opportunity to progress and reach the same level, with training or promotion.
Anyway I do spend less. Which means I can afford to retire early. Or wait out a redundancy and do not much - their choice! But I'm not petrified of losing my job, nor am I being conned into working harder to get a rise. I see how it goes. Less than 4% once every 10 years or so.
The company drives this, but is now stuck. It can't rise salaries of higher earners and it would cost too much to bring everyone into line. Management strategy: Just leave it as is, and if anyone doesn't like it they will leave. Just that they don't!! DXC wins!
They are basically underpaying for a number of years. To do less work is little compensation, many are on the borderline of survival month to month. People need to down tools, we in Networks have been at the forefront of trying to change DXC management. The Execs will never change, they are backwards, they just like to take everything they can from the company year after year.
It’s good to vent and process everything but the wiser move is to accept the money, enjoy life and see this as an opportunity to pursue employment where you can truly flourish.
Think of your monthly salary as a parting gesture of goodwill from DXC, giving you some financial breathing room as you regroup and chart a better course for your future.
There is no need to rush; the timing is yours to decide, when you feel ready and well enough to take that step to the next employer.
Let go of the guilt that you somehow owe them something in return. They understand the circumstances and this arrangement is a way for them to facilitate your departure on your own terms, given that investor dynamics and their current financial position does not allow them to manage it through a more structured process.
Take the opportunity for what it is: a chance to move forward on your terms, without guilt, pressure or any sense of obligation beyond what little you have to do for your next paycheck.
@cd Caring makes it worse. I joined the don't care make me redundant group 2 years ago. They've now paid me more to do nothing much than my redundancy is worth.
The "growth" is packaged, carved out and sold. Like the insurance unit..
They want to achieve growth with one of the most apathetic, demotivated employees I've ever seen.
Like, really, in every corporate environment team there is always at least several people engaged, enthusiastic, and at least several others pretending to be such. In DXC no one gave a da... about anything. Like for real. I mean, from employees' perspective that is quite good - there is no asap, no fake urgency, no pushing, because no one cares. There were people who did nothing in months, and no one even noticed, or noticed and again didn't care. It's great in short term, bad in long run because it deskills and demoralises, but good to catch some air in between real Jobs. Anyway, that is not a way to achieve growth
Load of b0ll0cks, its not the job of disgruntled employees who aren't being paid correctly to retain and win new business.
What the he-l are the overpaid Executives doing? They should take big cuts if they don't get growth. I have given up.
We could have achieved growth, but the company has managed to put almost every possible blocker in the way of delivery.
From endless paperwork and slow laptops to access and provisioning processes that would be automated elsewhere, the overhead is considerable. Instead, we fill in a spreadsheet, email it to someone and wait a month, only to be told the form is wrong, that it needs to be resubmitted, and that we must join the queue again.
Management also discourages us from suggesting ideas to clients for fear that they will come to expect similar improvements elsewhere without additional payment. This creates a culture where opportunities for improvement and growth are actively suppressed rather than encouraged.
DXC management has driven this cycle, and only DXC management can break it. That will require recognising that the current approach is counterproductive and making the investment needed to remove these barriers, streamline internal processes and empower delivery teams to help clients succeed.
I fear though given that motivation is rock bottom, getting anyone's attention with another promise of a pay rise IF will just be seen as more of the same.
Only thing growing around here is the Execs bonus and wages.
