You think, guys, we can bounce back with all the upcoming changes? It would be good if that’s the case, at least for those who will get to keep the job.

Xerox is like the walking dead. The company is a slow moving bureaucracy
with stale ideas, no innovation and a non accountability outsourced work force led by clueless management..
There were 2,500 or 3,000 people laid off in two large waves in the 2nd half of 2018.
Tell me, how have things gone since then?
D-mb question. It allowed XRX to survive until today. Would be gone already without that action.

How have all the other layoffs and re-org gone ..There will be no bounce back ..All there will be is more work, confusion and chaos for those left behind ..Have seen this picture too many times before ..
Xerox is a place to work, earn money, build skills, stay or move on. Same as every other employer.
Yup, lots of negativity. Turns out people have an issue with toner based kool-aid:
- print was “declining” year over year before 2020. Last 4 years it’s in total free fall.
- decline everywhere? Have you checked out AI? S&P 500? Real Tech companies in the Nasdaq? Viable companies rebounded and gained since pandemic. Xerox? Nope. Maybe the “decline everywhere” is the print volumes at your customers? Just because their print clicks went down doesn’t mean their business did.

A lot of negativity and trolls here, of course print is declining but not ending tomorrow and certainly not forever.
You should always be looking for better opportunities where ever you work but ask around , you will find decline everywhere.
It strikes me as odd when the so called “ I work in a better industry “ people post up on this site, nothing better to do ?
Merger
Print is dead. Look around. Leave while you can dummy.
I'm a current employee with 30 years at the company, not a competitor. I work with many different segments of the company (sales, support, billing, service) and I'm just giving my opinion based on what I see on a daily basis. There hasn't been anything announced that will save this company. No reorganization will solve the issues we currently have. And no print or services derived product will either, unless it's an absolute game changer that no one else offers, or it's something we do 1000% better than the competition.
You tell me - do you forsee either of those happening?
Have you seen the print volume projections for 2024? Did you see how much decline we experienced in 2022? How about 2023? The "Covid recovery" still hasn't materialized and we're declining at a faster rate each year.
I would love for the company to succeed and thrive. But I don't drink the kool-aid anymore, I look at facts and what I currently see is a company that is a shell of its former self, trying to survive with no product differentiation or growth in a rapidly declining market.
Well that was gibberish. Quality of the employees left.
I question many commenters on this site. Many post are inaccurate asto Whois in leadership.
@ : @xkw+1rezenb0 Are you a competitor who is seeing same decline in your company and hoping to influencer be competition? If not, you can be assured are here and trying to influence the threat Xerox is to their personal livelihood.
As mentioned in another thread, those who aren't affected by the upcoming layoff are not safe. Just delayed. Use the time to get a position at another company that isn't part of a dying industry.
There will be no bouncing back. The absolute BEST anyone can hope for is to slow the rate of decline.
