Wanted to inquire whether there has been a large furlough or lay off of employees in Connecticut within the past 6 or 8 monthes ? Specifically the Springfield, Glastonbury and Rocky Hill copier technical training division? Thank you

I think Ricoh should buy another manufacturer like Kyocera during this time. It would expand footprint in sales and service and secure some faith in the company as a whole. Patiently waiting for April fools day.

Next month or will they wait until next year?

Puzzling that there's such a big discrepancy. Reviews are either, "the worst place on earth" or "everything is awesome!" Last few reviews are all glowing positive... looks like north of the border is now the land of milk and honey. Well done RCI!
