Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

Unbelieveable Decline...

I work at ex Global Imaging core company, now rebranded as Xerox business solutions. We were a busy growing local entity before the pandemic... Sure, the pandemic is somewhat to blame for the decline, but most of what i have seen is the fault of Xerox. About 2 yrs ago Xerox flipped the switch and gave us their business model.They essentially neutered our business(outsourced admin/decentralized parts and supplies/outsourced technical support/ layoffs) and the list goes on. In my tenured time with the company, i have never seen it this bad. I'm not quite sure how many core companys Global Imaging had, but speaking with some remaining mgt(off record), this is happening at all the cores. Customers in our area are leaving in droves. Its quite frightening actually. Global Imaging catered to the small/medium business, what xerox did poorly at, and now all the acquired market share is dissipating.. Seems like the Global acquisition was a huge wasted expense at this point, and our fleeing customers are feeling it. I only see more layoffs coming(we can barely function as it is). I believe attrition is also part of the xerox plan of downsizing. I cant believe they will keep our building open too much longer(huge expense). Its creepy going there to see hardly any business being done. I truly hope this isn't happening everywhere...

Tech in the west region...
I am looking at other options at this point(Its not worth it anymore!)/attrition.
The water feels at neck level at this point.

Thanks for listening...

I’m sure X expedited the decline but it’s nuts to me that this website has had five years of office printer salesmen who insist if not for just that one executive/manager things would be good.

You guys know you’re selling printers in 2023, right?

If Xerox hadn’t picked your pocket, someone else would have. No one wants this cr-p anymore.

Managment doesn't really seem to care at all anymore even while the Techs are trying to hold it all together with the customers. Customers leaving in droves. S--t rolls down hill and now the techs are caring less and less. Monkey see monkey do, This place is doomed!

Once the leadership group changed 4 years ago that was the beginning of the end - I left a while ago and wish I left sooner. They treat their employees like sh-t. I don’t care how much I make or what severance I would get - I want to work for a winner not a loser.

Vader Systems Syndrome. Everything xerox touches to P00P.

i agreed. Xerox ruins everything it touches. I was fine at GIS core, until service got transferred over to direct. Now we have triple the workloads with even less techs. before the massive layoff last year we had 11-12 techs combine with direct, now we had just 3 techs left. i am not surprised that our customers are leaving to different vendors, due to lack of services and support.

It isn't just at your core. It happened at the core I worked at as well. The fact that I hardly got a raise is proof that they want people to quit.

I left and am now much happier.
