Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

We Need a Theme Song For This Final Chapter as Xerox Goes Bankrupt

I'm going to propose Closing Time from Semisonic

Closing time, open all the doors
And let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on
Over every boy and every girl

So, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end, yeah

Two years ago when I got laid off from Xerox, there was a whole thread out here of layoff songs. I added them to a playlist on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6iNNC9zMFVvAfXpFHtiij1?si=c5oz-qAzR7eNVsCIdsAWtA

“A Very Merry Unbirthday to You!”

  • “Take some more tea?”
  • `I've had nothing yet, so I can't take more.'
  • `You mean you can't take less! `it's very easy to take more than nothing!”

Everyone deals with things indifferent ways. For some humor is relief. And this post, while kind of stupid, isn’t going to make you miss anything important. The people in the know aren’t going to post on here and there are too many still invested to let any truth come out.

And one more hilarious point: the OP didn’t even realize that the song Closing Time is about birth - the opposite of what they’re going for. If you needed any more evidence that posters here were missing the forest for the trees.

Wasn't going to post in this at all but felt the need to show camaraderie with @1gvm, @2riw.

This is like the third time we’ve had this thread. It’s painfully unfunny every time. It serves no purpose here - a board we should be using to at least share information. Well sourced, as best it can be - not just “My cousin knows someone who said” level stuff. I would dare go so far as to say it might be the first step to formally organizing, but at this point, I’m not that delusional.

Allow me to make a very hyperbolic analogy here: We’re all in the trenches together and some of you can’t help but cry out in laughter and shouting nonsense while we’re all trying to listen for the next incoming shell. We keep telling you to be quiet, but you assure us it’s pointless and we should revel in our doom.

The real shame is that when that shell lands, your shouting will blind us all to it.

Okay fine, I’m torturing that analogy. But really just show some tact. It’s yours, mine, our livelihoods. This type of post is just really sad. Get your kicks somewhere other than your job’s layoff board.

OP: Great idea to feel out this audience with your post.
Sorry for those who wish the demise of Xerox; this company is not tanking anytime soon.
