I’ve worked at Di-ks for 8 years and in that time the changes have been like a roller coaster !!!!
From firing of quality managers to replacing them with unqualified ones.
The workload is crazy they are not reasonable at all . When you do bring up issues that need to be taken care of , they yes you to death but do nothing .
They post a sign if you see something say something and when I did, nothing was done.
I’ve seen the stock in the midteens and when Covid hit, it was a perfect store for the environment. The stock went through the roof. This company is typical of other big corporations. They only care about the stockholders and their bottom line which on some levels I understand, but I think it has gone to their head. Upper management is just unrealistic..

Back room and the stockrooms are an accident waiting to happen and they do nothing about it. They employ younger people pay them less and go out of there way to not pay Benefits .
The psychological test that they have given the employees that have been working there are all a smoke screen to lower their overhead.
Cut salaries get rid of quality people all for the obvious reason $$$$$ sad really
They don’t Care about the employees at all … God forbid you were a handicap person and had to move your wheelchair in that store. My store was in Florida.
Somehow, they get away with not giving a handicap person enough space I thought it was a law. They just care about stuffing the store with as much merchandise as possible. I’m guessing the state looks the other way. Kind of ridiculous and sad.
The company is all smoking mirrors .
The only care about the customer because they spend money .

Getting back to something I said earlier, it’s a dangerous place to work and no matter what you say nothing‘s ever fixed so in the end I did get hurt. I also witnessed other people getting hurt.
When I was injured, the managers did not know what to do. Didn’t know anything about the paperwork or where to send me. I sat there for two hours and they didn’t know what they were doing in the end. They had to call other stores so with all the training that they give you and it’s a lot I believe all of that is done just to cover themselves for any liability, but they don’t bother to train the managers

I could go on and on about the things that are wrong with that company. I’ve seen it all, but I don’t think there’s enough space for me to put everything down that’s wrong with them. They bought footlocker because they had so much money supposedly because they wanted a European presence. Just not a place I would recommend to work looks good. They get all the kids to work there 18 to 22-year-olds because it’s a sports store. That’s a funny comment because it’s become a clothing and shoe store with the out of fringes of the store being sports and fishing. They recently because of the psychological test that almost nobody passed got rid of a guy that I believe opened the store originally high-quality individual who did anything. They asked them to left the sweat on the floor and how did they pay him back offer them a deduction and salary stay full-time or take a severance package it’s highly insulting and if they cared at all about the customer, that’s a guy that should still be working there he was very well liked by the customers. He was intelligent articulate and learned everything that he possibly could in that store yet he was just a number very sad. Di-k should be ashamed of themselves.

You can Google it I'm not posting a link.

I got a crack out of the article. CEOs should tell us more about how they're moving jobs overseas, decimating the workforce with AI, while accepting larger and larger bonuses.

• A significant shift in sentiment has made the job of running a company tougher, with CEOs complaining they are overworked, overstressed and subjected to endless scrutiny.
  The rise of political populism and volatile shifts in trade policy have contributed to the decline in admiration for CEOs, with polls showing they are no longer as admired as they once were.*

Glad the Times of India confirmed this from the annual report. So many people. SVP’s and above who ruthlessly cut people off will be in the next rounds of RIF’s.

Larry and that C-Suite do not care who you are.

I have come to have a disdain for RIF’s and the immortality of it all. Lesson. Take your PTO. Work your posted hours. Trust no one at this company. Career growth will only come from moving out not up here.

At some point the true character of leadership is what they tell us it is. They stop being people and “act” on behalf of “the company” and that is why no one at these big companies should care beyond the minimum.

For anyone who hasn't realised it yet, any external AI used by DXC e.g. Anthropic's Claude Tag, means that everything about DXC's thin layer of "value" will be consumed by the AI.
This quite an irony - The business of DXC taking over IT departments and "leveraging" employees (i.e. shedding) is now being replicated to DXC i.e. DXC's existance is being "leveraged" by Anthropic (as well as all the other SI companies).

When you think about it, whilst this is a disaster for young DXC employees, its a great opportunity for those near retirement. Its no longer about someone leaving DXC for another SI, its about either leaving to work for an end customer or leaving the IT industry all together.

Was this another round, or the last round?

I hope I’m a part of this layoff. When you have people like me who have been around for 14 years wishing that they will be Riffed it should paint a picture of how toxic this place is. Let this 12 year old VP enjoy her toxicity and all her a.. kissing useless sr directors.

Great job Verizon, thanks for the memories! They saved the MSS fed side and sh-t everyone else out! Down with the sinking ship! Middle fingers up Dan!

Rob decided Ai was better than Humans? I heard there have been lay offs in favor of Ai.

Crypto mergers and acquisitions surged in the first half of 2026. Deal volume reached $9.37 billion, a 26x increase from last year. A Bitcoin market downturn forced many crypto companies to cut staff. Traditional financial firms are acquiring crypto licenses and infrastructure. They prefer buying these assets rather than building them internally.

I will not reveal who I am or what I do in the company. I have heard some concerning numbers for the VSP and layoffs.
Is it true they're aiming for 12,000-18,000 layoffs?

They moved people out of real estate to WFH to get the real estate off the books end of 2nd quarter. Not because there has been a change of heart for RTO. Confirmed, a large WFH group. Shift bid completed early June NOT fully released. Company seems to be releasing 2 - 3 weeks of schedule. Normally, they would release about 3 month. This not an indicator of restructuring. #WFH #AT&T #AT&TLayoffs

Kitsap County faces a projected $9.8 million budget shortfall in 2027. Expenses are increasing faster than revenue, driven by rising labor and public safety costs.

Heard the Chicago office was shutting down and some people were fired, offered severance or told to move to Plano or DC. Any confirmation?

Major change is how Opentext operates starts July 1. This change requires fewer people to do all jobs. WFR notifications start next week.

Just wondering if Wellmed was spared in this round

I made it through the layoff the last few times and now I'm drowning in everyone else's work.

Third? Fourth?
