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.

@kf they struggle because the leadership has earned a name, nobody wants to work for them. As for the newcomers, they have no idea how it used to be, they think bottom off the barrel is acceptable. It’s a total joke.
@f9 they hired immigrants with no knowledge of XDS environment. They got $ from the Province of New Brunswick to hire these folks. XDS was struggling to attract people. I deal with XDS reps all the time. They're clueless.
I was on LinkedIn and saw someone from XDS post they were rep of the month for JULY…It’s October FFS They mention how they changed careers to join Xerox and put hashtags of career growth and success….WTH do they brainwash these people with? They do know that the rungs to the ladder are broken, right?
There is nothing to worry about. You will definitely lose your job within the next 6 months. No mystery.

Look at the bright side, OP, you will now be promoted to your manager’s position.
But they won’t give you the title or pay or authority to do the job, just the accountability.
S*** always rolls downhill at the big X!
Xerox is on its last legs.. get your CVs polished up and ready to go.
With what, your non-transferable Tech-Power-House skillset? You stayed, got comfortable, didn't leave during the job bo-m, and now you will pay for that.
My manager was forced out this summer. Another I know is done in two weeks.
@ad Clearly, we made the right decision by ignoring you, because we're still here.
It's plain to see what is happening..
Senior management are hiding behind their curtains.

Tell Me again…. Why would I want to work here???
Maybe they can throw me another piece of lettuce 🥬 to hold me over this year.
Absolute insanity here.
Money is running out, and this before any loans are due. Someone has to go, just not the mid 60s managers, they want to stay till social security or later. Its the ending, you cannot be surprised about this at this point.
Is 12 weeks worth it? For those in Webster at least, wait, I meant somewhere in NY, USA. Jeez if I mention Webster they will delete my post. Oops I said it, WEBSTER, WEBSTER, WEBSTER.
You guys know what’s going on
You just won’t face up to it.
People have told you for years to get out and watch your back. And now you look at us like a deer in headlights… please…
There was an IRIF recently in NY, USA, and Canada (potentially other places). Not sure all who were affected. Sounds like your manager was made aware early on and put their name in the pool or they were simply let go and didn’t take the 2 weeks.
What department?
@OP what part of the world did this happen in?
