Every sign that a lay off was imminent was present. Working for a low skill r----d of a VP who was verbally abusive in California was the worse. We all deserve better! Too much work and not enough people doing the work. We now are left with managers and not enough workers. This is a sign that they don’t plan to keep the rest of us!

About nobody making a bad mfp, and relying on channel partners, I repeat this for david the copper king.
Nobody makes a bad mfp?! What about the 3655, 6400, 4265! Products so bad, the channels group screamed for experienced Xerox reps to come and fix them, when their own , poorly trained techs couldnt, and their customers were howling for blood!
We still have a manager who lives in California managing PMs in webster. He occasionally travels east. Last visit, after he furloughed all for a week, he asked where all the workers were! They were on the furlough. Crazy incompetence at VP level.
Xerox is struggling to compete in a shrinking industry with highly competitive and better-financed companies. Xerox's future is partnering with the independent channel market. Corporate service is lagging well behind industry benchmarks for MFPs. No one makes a bad MFP anymore. Xerox should focus on empowering Authorized Sales and Service for all their partners. Don't blame Xerox, the writing has been on the wall for years and Xerox was stymied by fear and tradition. Time to get lean and mean and build the once mighty brand back to its lofty status.
I hear you! California Xerox does not have a monopoly on terrible VPs at Xerox, but I do know exactly what you mean. Record everything. If you can afford a couple grand to retain a lawyer and review your specific case, you might be more pleased with the eventual outcome. HR blows at Xerox. They will only make matters worse if you go to them. Good luck. Sorry you are dealing with this. Oh, and of course, seek new employment.
