Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

Why would John V act like such a jerk on a webcast?

I don’t get it? On the Employee Earnings Webcast John V is a combative jerk to AnnMarie, refusing to play nice, and acknowledge her World Series question – because it is all about HIM, and then he argues because he doesn’t understand and screws up the question and her point – totally botching up a simple and straightforward question, just like he is doing with the business of Xerox. At the end – either he, or AnnMarie is a liar on who said to “wear pink” – they take a good cause, cheapen it, and show their total lack of integrity by telling false stories (he lies, she swears to it, nice team kids - makes me feel good about our future).

He should be forced to watch this – and see why employees find him repugnant. I think if his boss watch this and saw what a terrible job he does he would be fired. I hope his next employer is smarter. This dude is a bully and looser.

I think it was his way of dodging the questions she was asking. He didn't want to give a forecast on how things would start to get better. He didn't want to answer most of her questions from the webcast. So he turns it into a strange "cat and mouse" conversation. If you think about it, he didn't give a straight answer to any of them. And I'm not talking about the normal "CEO speak" where they speak in platitudes and opaque terms......he didn't even go that far. He just wiggled his way out of answering them in any way, shape, or form.

It just strengthens my opinion that he's here for his boss Icahn, and that's it. Employees are just a means to getting the stock price back to $40/share.

Here's an analogy for Johnny V. You are running this company like a failing Italian restaurant. You fired the cook and closed the kitchen and now buying your food from your competitor down the street. You hired cheap labor and let go the staff who had the relationship with your customers. You stand out front in your tuxedo and tennis shoes telling everyone ”hey, I'm the new owner the food is great”. While in the background trying to figure out how to sell the place at a profit so you can move on to wherever grandpa Carl gives you your next job.

1sbr- the “economy” : extreme competition for high paying jobs, in part due to layoffs, in part due to outsourcing, in part due to slowing growth. The jobs that are available are low wage service jobs.

The while management team is disgraceful. Everyone sits back and just laughs. Either this is all a rehearsed discussion or it is accepted behavior. Either way, no one cares as long as they get their bonuses.

Agreed, but would anyone expect the agent of a heartless corporate raider to behave any differently? The barbarians have been let inside the gates.

Did anyone else catch the “you’re still here?” Comment he made to Squeo this last time? What a jerk.

John V IS a bully. He did the same thing during a “lightning round” of softball questions during an All Employees call earlier this year, because he didn’t understand how a lightning round works (questions & answers to easy questions in fast succession). It devolved in to him berating his female counterpart with him forcefully reminding her that he was the CEO. But hey, we all learned that his favorite book is “Goodnight Moon,” so there’s that...

It’s hard to believe any mature professional could find a way to butcher a basic everyday chat / analogy about baseball games and cancer awareness. But, he did. How does a grown man take baseball and cancer and turn it into a pissing match in front of 30,000 people. It’s remarkable.

A pissing match on baseball and cancer = Tip of his immature psychosis iceberg.
