Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

Management’s latest pep talk,”Bend Over.”

Anne’s brother was one of them …

Xerox is the epitome of Walking Dead!

I guess you are right about Anne. She was really nice though. Well connected.

@4dud+1uWK6m0Y , I remember very distinctly when Anne once told all employees that "the problem with Xerox is that there are too many white men working here".

As said so eloquently by the Democrat candidate for President, AI is two words Artificial and Intelligence. It means something that is artificial can also be intelligent. If you think of it like the cloud has a brain and you can consult it for information from your phone, its incredible when you think about it, that something artificial can be intelligent. That is why we must pursue this TAM of an infinite amount of money, and if we can capture an even infinitesimal amount of that, then we will be successful.

Xerox has suffered under bad management for decades.

This includes Anne Mulcahy despite what some posters on this site think about her.
She was terrible. She was the original DEI hire. She blew thru capital on Tektronix, SOHO and share buybacks. The iGen was delivered late and she sold off the majority of Fuji Xerox and Medical systems. She ushered in the "Jack Welch", GE business model of focusing only on the next quarter. For the final coup de grace she hired Ursula.

Never let the HR lady run a business.

P.S. It's well known by now that the biggest beneficiaries of DEI are white woman as is evidenced by her performance.

Anne was great but she made the decision that did us in...

You just made my point.
Allaire became CEO in 1990, it’s been 34yrs of mismanagement - as you said. All the CEOs(except Ann) is on your list. So did the latest crew sc--w up Xerox by themselves? Part of this is clean up on, part is the market and part is cr-ppy leadership!

I dont think anyone whitewashes Allaire Thoman Burns Jacobsons Visine eras

We Hide Our Eyes

Yes our current Senior Leaders are not the best, but we white wash and look through rose colored glasses at our history.

High Margins and Profits in the past covered a whole lot of silo kingdoms, poor performance, bad decisions, waste, org bloat, useless VPs, redundant roles, and execution in every part of the value chain at Xerox. This was not only at Senior Mgt Ranks!

Folks could move to another part of the company and hide or be saved.

Part of the fancy latest new “program” of reinvention buzz word is a fancy way of saying, this historical cr-p have been exposed.
