Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

Ditto on the expense craziness. In a recent trip I tried to be proactive and upgrade the rental car to a full size ($10 a day) so we wouldn't have the expense of two rental cars ($55 each a day). It was rejected for not following DXC rules stating the car can't be anything over a mid size. So DXC is willing to pay out $45 more dollars a day to just follow a rule that was put in place to save money but wasn't. Crazy

Kudos @WdgZPQi-1lbl ! Your post is pure #gold

Companies tend to succeed or fail from the top down. No matter how good the people under are, they are restricted by the people above them. Good workers are hampered by poor management. Good management is handcuffed by poor executives. Good ideas are left to die by poor leadership. When the focus is on stock price, executive bonuses, and cashing out while you can, there is no focus on product, customers, or innovation. The truth is that the HP family of companies was hampered by poor leadership. Only those companies that got out from under that leadership and found good leaders of their own have obtained some success (see HPI). While DXC got out from under the thumb of Meg Whitman, they found a leader in Mike Lawrie who is even worse. There is no chance for the company to succeed unless there is a major leadership change or segments of the company are able to split off and find good leaders to get them back on track. Otherwise, the roadmap is to continue to focus on financial benefit for stockholders and executives until the well is dry and DXC is tossed onto the trash heap of so many other failed ventures that Wall Street and poor leadership has created.

This uNhealthy company is dying. It is on life support at the moment. Iam surprised that even with the huge rate of staff loss and high profile leaders leaving that it is still here and continues to think it is still relevant. Digital transformation my a55!

Don't forget also one of the major points:

STOP THE GREED OF HIGH MANAGEMENT! A company can not grow if top management is constantly skimming the creme.
