They gave out increases to some. I got an "alignment" increase and now (woohoo) I have an extra $17 dollars a MONTH that I have to be sure not to blow all in one place...

F those guys
Send in the Clowns
Of course they gave out more promotions!! With all of the employees that either left on their own or were forced out there was plenty of (empty) opportunities???
did anyone hear John say that they gave out the most promotions in years last year? Is a promotion really a promotion without a salary increase?
When Mike F. said that our services to the medical field are saving lives. I felt that. In fact, I got a little teary eyed.
Is Xerox a tech powerhouse now?
I liked the hold music that played while waiting for the meeting to start.
Xerox to focus on innovation…what by outsourcing more jobs? or laying off more people…That’s been the internal benchmark ..
CEO JV …..junior varsity management.
So sad to see how low this once great company has fallen. Absolutely no respect for the employees who bear the brunt of day to day operations. JV
very dismissive toward acknowledging and fixing problems. Sad, sad ,sad.
CEO looked like he was down a few pints blood.
And the spot raises for some employees, what a joke, sure the spot raises were just for the upper management. Sc--w the workers that actual are doing there jobs.
We brag about our offerings to enable productive remote work to customers, but folks who are able to work remotely for xrx cannot do it. Quite the double standard
I had it on to make it appear that I cared, but I barely paid any attention to it.
Always hear; be happy you have a job at Xerox. How about we turn that around. Xerox should be happy they have the skilled workers they do. They would not have made it without us. The LEAST they could do is let the anxious workers that want to work from HOME do so.
Is it REALLY so much to ask for? Especially for as much as what we do for the company. Yes doing 2-3 WORKLOADS, working longer hrs during the week and weekends. It's disgusting they can't allow that with all that they have taken away from us recently and we keep giving. Per John V the answer is NO.
Take away: What a line of bull on the comment on a flexible work force. Higher managers sit in their offices with their doors shut. Their all safe while the cube farm workers are exposed to who knows what. Is anyone actually checking if someone goes to work sick? ABSOLUTELY NOT..People don't want to complain to their manager and security and go to thru the bull you need to do and go to work sick instead. Who has to worry; the people in the cube farms. People in certain groups can work from home with jobs JUST like any other jobs in the office. So how could he even justify that comment. The answer is NO and we are a flexible work force.
Ho-hum!
I watched the town hall meeting despite tomorrow being my last day at Xerox.
My take away was the same: JohnV does NOT care about the mental health of his employees. Only one blip sentence on X being understaffed before moving on to how Xerox can help it's understaffed customers during these troubling times. He does not care that I've been doing 5 to 7 jobs in the last two years or how to alleviate the pressure to fix what's broken within the company.
Don't even get me started on technology! I've been processing the lionshare of software orders at my core and it's been a painful process. None of upper management figures out how to make it work internally, but the reps sell new software products and it's up to anyone touching orders to figure out how to make it happen.
#1 takeaway: johnv doesn’t care at all about the health and safety of Xerox employees.
#2: they are desperate to reposition the perception of Xerox to be a ‘new tech’ company so they can realize the stock price multiples that would come along with this (but no solution offered to date has generated enough traction to move market capitalization in the slightest).
Hmmm. That xrx has no business listing itself on the nasdaq?
