Lost three in my group this week; one was a resignation. Hoping to get out soon myself while the hiring market is still good
BT is bias
She only cares about sales. She doesn't realize the rest of Company is under her. Somebody tell her she has lost the employees.. Family was lost day she took over
This place is just awful
I no longer care what will happen to this company, because like many, I consider X dead. The manager tries to overwork employees in vain, because no one wants to do anything more than the bare minimum. All I'm interested in is how to get a new... — read more
Trimming the fat could save good employee jobs
The discrepancy between the number of productive employees and managerial staff is enormous. The number of useless managers is astonishing. If they just trimmed the fat a little, I think Xerox would start breathing again. If nothing else, many jobs... — read more
Xerox CEO
At what point are people going to realize that this Steve B, is completely full of S! Come on man! Be a leader take care of the people that keeps this together. Going around giving your stupid little pep talks talking about you mentor companies and... — read more
We cannot function properly so short staffed
Stress caused by heavy workloads and lack of support is enormous. Given that our team can no longer function properly because it is terribly short staffed, the conclusion is that the manager has failed at his job. How many other teams are... — read more
Layoffs are the answer to everything
Company has had a thirty year love affair with layoffs I haven't heard Xerox's dependence on layoffs put better than this. For decades, the only thing the management knew how to do was implement layoffs. Instead of making sure that we stay up with... — read more
Xerox vs Japan, Inc
I'm shamelessly stealing this from another forum: A Japanese company and a North American company decided to have a canoe race on the St. Lawrence River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big... — read more
Mistake after mistake
This company never learns from its mistakes. Why the leadership does not see failures and mistakes as an opportunity for learning and improvement is puzzling.. While the company is sinking, the inflated egos at the top probably think they are doing... — read more
A real life Dunder Mifflin
Just saw the episode where Pam had to figure out how to set up the office's new copier herself. It's like a prophecy for service SMH.
RE: Outstanding Commissions and Bonuses
Depending on your relationship with your client and as long as it's not production gear you can have your team forward you postdated POD's that you can have your customer sign to bill for the month. A lot of my clients are in a hurry to spend their... — read more
What’s Xerox hearing about KM?
Curious on what Xerox employees are hearing about Konica Minolta Direct?
Outstanding Commissions and Bonuses
Let me start by saying this: I am very aware that I make good money but I'm confident anyone you speak to from back office, to drivers, to technicians would agree I deserve it for working so hard. Currently as a result of having 1/10 of the sales... — read more
The disconnect is real.
Can't purchase parts or supplies, handling contract buyouts, outsourcing, laying off sales people, managers and service providers fixing the broken copiers. But at least we have that great new program for inclusion and diversity with a team announced... — read more
When does the sale start?
We are obviously shedding weight to appeal to a buyer. Positions aren't being filled from corporate to smallest cog in the minor offices. When you lose technical service representatives for multiple rounds of lay offs, something more is happening... — read more
Provide the effort Xerox deserves
I see people who are still trying so hard and doing several jobs because they are picking up after the many who were laid off and I can't help but wonder why. Xerox doesn't deserve your best. I stopped giving my best to the company a long time ago... — read more
What I tell my customers
I explain we are dealing with massive layoffs and budget cuts which is causing delays in service, parts, and manufacturing. Xerox sold off parts distribution centers, sent escalation teams overseas, ki---d a merger with a huge source of chips, PCB... — read more
Inhumane and disrespectful
Nobody is interested in improvements - all they want is to preserve the status quo and to have a cheap workforce that doesn't rock the boat. If you're not cheap enough, you're gone. If you dare think outside the box, you're gone. If you don't want to... — read more
Has 3D been shut down?
Hearing rumors in the hallways, but not seeing any official info as of yet.
How many more?!
How many more techs will be let go?! This is crazy! You keep letting go these technicians, and expect the remaining to pick up the work.. unbelievable… I hope Xerox goes belly up, they deserve it 🖕🏼
Mary McH is gone!
Interesting to know if she resigned or has been "invited" to leave. Today is her last day @ Xerox!
Forever on backorder
My manager talks like our backlog is going to save us. It reminds me of the scene in D-mb n D-mber with the briefcase full of IOU's. I wonder if I'll ever see my deals turnover. Why work?
And that's a wrap
We're setting off fireworks tonight team! Another quarter in the books; Fortunes were made, hearts were broken, souls sold for pennies on the dollar, techs stretched like taffy, multi tasking was mandatory, noses were browned, ones were owed, and... — read more
Parc Layoffs tomorrow
Looks like there will be some layoffs at PARC tomorrow
Went to the local office supply place to make copies
Is Webster responsible for the walk-up machines?! Outsourced to India much? Either case your resume goes straight to the can.
But we still have brown-nosers
The writing is painted in big bold neon colors on the wall and yet we still have a couple people in our core who still refuse to abandon their bootlicker ways. There are still people here who will trade whatever dignity they still have for a "you... — read more
Layoffs coming…again
Back office and non-XBS sales teams layoffs planned for Thursday Oct 20th. I heard the code name was “Sydney”. How big is the xerox contingent in Australia?
Q4 and 2023 Projections
PARC sold to HP Care AR sold to Verizon Fittle sold to Cisco Capital Xerox brand sold to Ricoh Buildings sold to whatever is left of WeWork
September Actions Incoming…
Just remember, you will be ok. This is the definition of a blessing in disguise.
That time again
Team, Home from vacation, touched down around 21:30 and waiting on my bags but . Still some spare change/ days left of action in the month and I'm ready to roll. Best of luck, now let's get some docs signed! *I had this tune in my head throughout... — read more
I think I'll be laid off soon
Or fired. Up until a month ago, I was constantly busy. Now it feels like there’s less and less to do daily. Even when I'm actively looking for things to do, I'm met with a wall. There's nothing else I can think of as a reason for this change other... — read more
Do you plan to be at Xerox in the next two years?
This is not a question for those who are already looking for something new. I'm wondering how many people who are not planning to leave just yet see themselves still being here two years from now. I'm just hoping to see how many people see Xerox as... — read more
Winter is coming!
This is bad news for Xerox and whomever stays. Every single person I’ve spoken to in our organization is looking for a new job. It’s not 3, or 5 or even 10. It’s every single person in operations, service and sales. My best prediction is our region... — read more
