I've heard something is happening this week, but sadly my sources of rumors have been less than reliable the last few months. So maybe nothing. Had the HP deal actually gone through I would expect something big after completion. Perhaps a reduction in the next few weeks to make the company seem more attractive for a takeover?
Could be layoffs, or more HCL transfers.
Reliable rumors? WTF? I heard everyone who writes to this site will be let go.
@ aprh
What is the basis for a class action lawsuit? What employment law was broken?
Xerox is taking the position that virtual support is the current best practice for tech companies And they see the HCL transfers as a method for both testing the virtual support model. That said, this past week, HCL analysts were given notice. Why, well, if you can’t travel to your customer to work as an analyst, and there has not been any significant noise from customers regarding customer support, it supports their (leadership) assumption that we don’t need them (analysts) and possibly others moved to HCL. Added benefit, no lengthy severance packages, and yes better bottom line. If you are moved to HCL, consider retirement of job search.
As for Xerox, prepare for class action response. I suspect that the contract between XRX and HCL will be voided by the courts.
Here’s to another Thursday incoming. God’s speed to those in the management ranks.
Yep, I got the call 9/15 invite, was told we’d receive our separation date notice by Monday 9/18.
All my local team members got theirs the same evening as the call. Here it us 9/20 and I still haven’t received a notice. My manager either knows nothing, or can’t say what he knows, because he has no explanation for me.
Confusion reigns....re-badged vs non-re-badged ..60 day notice vs no notice, conference call vs no call invite.. Xerox to HCL, Xerox to buy HP, HP to buy Xerox ,
Fuji deal on then off ,strategy no strategy,
severance vs no severance .... Sounds like a lovely place to work!
I got moved to HCL in April and moved out the door last week. I wouldn't come back to either of those companies for any amount of money.
Yes, assuredly so.
Yep - Could be layoffs, or more HCL transfers.
