They sent a letter to the board:

As we have made clear in our discussions with management and in our public communications, we expect Xerox to use its upcoming third-quarter results announcement on October 29, 2026, to update shareholders regarding certain crucial initiatives.

Dan, is this what you meant by delighting our customer and being customer obsessed ? Ok, got it.

Good lord, we cant get anything right

CXO is over and what’s left behind is so toxic. Pods not working. Who even is Wei-Lin and what’s the true purpose or her “playbooks”? Something isn’t adding up.

Can Jonathan save the org or is it too far gone?

Are managers typically informed ahead of time if someone on their team is being let go, or do they find out when the employee does?

I don't understand why people even bother with them anymore when we know nothing of use will be said.

I'm yet to work for a company with more cowardly leadership than this one. Tell us what's going on, for heaven's sake! We're all big boys and girls, we can take it. Being kept in the dark is ten time worse than anything we might find out, whether it's about layoffs or whatever else.

Things like which groups and teams will be affected, which locations, how many people, if there'll be any changes to severance...stuff like that. What's with the lack of transparency?

Who walks D2D?

Webex, outlook, meeting and now orchestrating multiple agents . It’s very hard to get anything done . Miss the old days

Some people are saying some of us will be in a new office by next March. How would we know if we’re destined to go to a new office? Doesn’t Abby know about the serious gang of Waraq that runs that town?

does anyone know with any certainty if we'll see layoffs before the ceo office hours on the 27th, given the email today about the reduction of our exec leadership and change in reporting structure for exec ed and degree?

A lot of stuttering and uh mm uh umm on the conference call. Didn't hear a clear plan. Will give him another quarter as understand he is knew.

Do VPs within the regions already know who from their org will be impacted?

How many
When
What departments, groups or orgs.
I assume GT will be the hardest hit.
Can anyone share any info?
Come on HR folks.. Have you started to make those lists yet? Is there a plan.. By grade, group, org... .
Is it going to start in January?

Why?

What’s going on rims and mows , since Oct 2 ,where’s all the comments , give us the good the bad and the ugly, share the truth people!

Now would be the time to release some positive news as we build up into earnings. If earnings will be good then it benefits the company to release some positive news. Are we sure Enrique knows what he’s doing? I don’t want the usually fail from him and Jaime Miller each quarter.

1:1?

Lot’s of meetings very little emails hmmmm

Here’s a thought … instead of laying off the supposed backbone of our company (frontline), why don’t they trim the massive fat across the hundreds of “Communications” people at PEP? Or marketing … because clearly that’s not working? Or those lobbyists in DC? I’m sure they’re all making 100K+ and probably work from home half the dang time!

Anyone know what is going on with Outlook? Can’t seem to get any updates or answers from management.

After all the reorg emails last week it said management and HR would be talking to people about reporting lines within a week

This hasn't happened, any idea when it will ? Everyone is in limbo

there is useful stuff on this board, there is a lot of rumors but if you read between the lines i see new stuff all the time. do your team members know about the site? i guess we'd all benefit if more people chime in and share what we know. i am also hoping that someone high up will contribute as well, i am certain they know more. spread the word.

Did anyone else receive Benefit Program Disclosure Documents from Comcast via their personal email?

How many times did Daniel "Danny" Seely say "uhhhhhhh", 'Ummmm" during his PI planning meeting today? What kind of leaders are these

Mentioned how hard covid times were because we were all wfh and he needs to see his people face to face. Does he not know we can look his org up and clearly see 90% of his team is at other sites. It feels like we are constantly being fed bullsh-t and they think we are buying it. This is why we can’t trust or believe anything these people say.

Oh, brilliant! Let’s give a standing ovation to whoever decided that the entire AM organization desperately needed a play-by-play on India Innovation Day, because nothing screams "peak productivity" like getting your inbox relentlessly flooded with promotional spam. Truly a masterclass in corporate communication.

Hoping the Town Hall Wednesday is going to provide new information. ANY information!

I was laid off by UKG after survivng an earlier round of layoffs... and now apparently there's been ANOTHER round on 10/6.... I honestly don't know what is going on with this company anymore. When the earlier layoffs happened our team wasn't included and I thought maybe we were finally safe... then two months later I walked into a meeting with HR and was told I was being laid off. No actual explanation... nothing.

And now I'm reading about even more people losing their jobs. Some employees are saying around 250 were affected this time, although I've also seen someone mention 120+... so who knows what the actual number is. What makes this soooo frustrating is how little information seems to be getting out about these layoffs... people are finding out from coworkers, texts and internal groups instead of any real communication.

From what others are reporting, the latest cuts hit Sales, Global Alliance, Post Live, Benefits Administration, BI, IT and even the Ready product support teams... Seriously???? Apparently some of the Ready employees are being kept until February to finish their work before their separation. Imagine knowing you're losing your job but still being expected to work through year end... and from what one person reported, some employees didn't even learn what their transition duties would be from management. They found out from coworkers.

And then the VERY NEXT DAY after people were laid off... employees reportedly received an email welcoming a new VP of Customer Success. After laying off customer facing employees???? You really cannot make this stuff up.

There is also a lot of discussion about work being moved to India and the Philippines. Some employees are saying they personally trained people overseas who are now getting promoted while they're watching their own teams disappear... I don't know how widespread that is, but it's certainly raising questions about what the long term plan is for US employees.

What happened to the whole "People First" thing at UKG??? Because after everything I've experienced and everything others are reporting, that slogan just sounds ridiculous now. I don't even believe these layoffs are necessarily about performance... it feels like salary, visibility and who management wants to keep are what really matter.

I'm trying to move on from my own layoff but seeing all these additional cuts makes me wonder when this is actually going to stop... There were layoffs earlier this year, then August / September, and now October. At what point does this stop being called restructuring and just become the normal way UKG operates????

I'm curious whether others at UKG were impacted by the October 6 layoffs, particularly in Ready, Sales, Post Live, Global Alliance and BI. Is the 250 number accurate? Are jobs really being moved to India and the Philippines? And does anyone know whether more layoffs are planned before the end of 2026?

What happened today? I'm OOO and my boss text me asking if I could join a meeting.

Every team seems to communicate in its own little bubble, and the information rarely lines up. Half the time, nobody can tell who's responsible for what.

Our manager went on leave, then emailed a few days later to say he'd left the company. Nobody has explained what happened or whether the team should be worried.

After the initial messaging of the RTO a few months ago our VP effectively told our org that we would exempt from the RTO for now. He also said he couldn’t guarantee that wouldn’t change at some point in the future, but for now at least the end of year RTO (as it was phrased at the time) did not apply to us and we would be staying remote friendly. No clue how many other teams or orgs were told something similar, or if it even still holds (haven’t heard anything one way or the other since the all hands last Thursday). Anyone hearing if the RTO is truly a blanket policy after most recent announcement with the Jan date provided ?

Just curious and looking for an honest answer. If I am sitting in LGA right now because 1:25 pm flight has been delayed too many times to count now (now departing at 6 pm supposedly), because of weather, but other airlines have departed to Houston many times over despite the weather, What is the real reason for the delay? Poor agent at the gate shows up every 40 mins or so to tell us the new departure time and to apologized. Lastly she keeps telling folks who walk up to the desk that the flight is in the air from JFK and each hr, she changes the time that it left and should arrive. JFK is not 3 or 4 hrs away????

Did anyone get an email reminder to return their equipment well AFTER they already returned it?

Seriously. Sending emails after 9pm on a Saturday night about phone updates is ridiculous. Get a damn life.

Anyone?

The writing is on the wall. Yet, my leadership is carrying on like we’re in a parallel universe. I’m still being pulled into planning meetings, surrounded by that forced corporate positivity, as if the enterprise isn't about to shift.

They aren't acknowledging the elephant in the room. Are your managers and their managers acting this oblivious right now? Or do you have actual working relationships with them? If only I did.

Anyone notice he’s all over Twitter lately? Making comments about execs having to be on Twitter and his so-called startup mode at Cisco
