This place is so monumentally mismanaged. Working here is not just extremely stressful, it comes with unreasonable caseloads, lack of training, and constant poor management decisions. Sometimes it feels that the upper management embodies the "the... — read more

MF Out
Wow MF jumping ship! I wonder if this is the beginning of a mass exodus of the exec team.
Prepare - A tidal wave is coming !!!
Put on your seat belts xerox and xbs…. A tidal wave is coming. In the coming weeks/months look for some large announcements and formal restructuring. Jon V to step down , maybe take board seat. Steve B to CEO … Mary MCNuts to president ??? Go... — read more
Xerox disrespected me by rebadging me to HCL, no now I hope they fail.
Left before they offshored me, Got a new gig, paying 40%, suck my N UTs Zerox!
Complaining will not help
I understand people who need venting, but in my opinion, some are just wasting energy on complaining instead of looking for a new job. Those who complain the most send the least applications, that's my impression. I believe there are many who... — read more
Check out our competitors before rushing to join them
Read their pages on this board, see what people on Glassdoor have to say, or see if you can find anybody who works there to talk to them. I've seen too many people rush to leave and are finding themselves already looking for a new job (which, as you... — read more
Full disclosure, partial disclosure or silence?
Harvard Business Review: “Not only is the topic sensitive from a personal and privacy perspective, but there is no specific rule or duty that requires disclosure of a CEO’s adverse health information—unless the executive is incapacitated. Not... — read more
I got my revenge
I worked for a global core in the southeast and was a happy and hardworking employee before Xerox came in. Once Xerox destroyed our homegrown business, I left and immediately began poaching customers. Like a warrior in the face of enemy fire, I... — read more
There seem to be a lot of those who are still doing well here...
It is unbelievable that a person cannot bring up a complaint here without someone immediately starting to defend the company. Are there really so many of you who still enjoy working at X? I don't believe it.
The main reason for leaving Xerox?
God knows that there is a lot wrong with this company, and we see people complaining about a variety of things on this board, but also in everyday office talk. So I’m just curious. If you had to point out only one main reason why you consider... — read more
It was worth a try
I thought I would have to stay here for a long time because I'm not very marketable. I spent months looking for a new job but it finally paid off. I'm a little euphoric because I'll have a 20 percent higher pay. I say this only as advice to those... — read more
Pointless meetings
I am totally drained after all these meetings where nothing new is said or done. An awful lot of time is wasted every month on meetings without clear set of objectives and goals. Anyone else feel like it's a pointless waste of time and energy?
What is Digital Transformation in your eyes?
JV wants us to accelerate it. Can we define what it is first?
How long will you allow senior managers to talk to you like you are the problem?
The daily beatings continue. It is clear that those of us that continue to tolerate the vitriol that spews from the mouths of this company's most senior leaders have issues. On a daily basis those of us that interact with the likes of JCS, MM, TK... — read more
XBS daily beat down
The new way to deal with Xerox pathetic supply chain issues is to brow beat the logistics managers on a daily basis. SA and team work over the ops people every bleeping day. Even JCS has weekly mtgs with these folks. The floggings will continue... — read more
I hate what Xerox has turned into
Employees are no longer treated as humans but like robots. We are overworked and severely underpaid. They expect us to do everything while paying us the bare minimum - and they'd avoid that as well if they only could. I am at the point where I... — read more
No buyer
I can't think of a company that could possibly buy Xerox. Can you?
2022 Q1 Employment 23400
Up 100 people from 4Q 2021 (23,300). I find this curious, knowing there have been layoffs recently in Webster. Must have occurred in April and we will see the results in the 2Q Earnings Summary.
Don't let yourself be laid off/fired without having a job lined up
The fact is companies have a tendency to lowball unemployed applicants. They are always more likely to accept an offer that is far from ideal than those who still have a job. Do yourself a favor and don't put yourself in the position of having to job... — read more
Fear of the truth
There are a lot of smart people who left after their work here was made difficult just because they made it clear that they didn't agree with the manager's philosophy. Here, "good" employees are only those who say what management wants to hear... — read more
Isn't it time for a new round of layoffs?
It's been a while, at least in Xerox's terms...
Carl's Plan
If you want a peek into Carls plan for Xerox. Carl now owns 21.9% of outstanding Xerox shares as part of a nearly $900 million investment, according to the schedule 13d addendum filed with the SEC on April 22, 2022. Why is this important? Xerox... — read more
A culture of secrecy
I am so annoyed by the culture of secrecy at Xerox. Management seems to think it is perfectly fine to leave employees out of the loop. I believe there are many who have left Xerox for this very reason. Don't we deserve at least a little more... — read more
Global Town Hall cancelled - why?
Cancelled 30 minutes before it was scheduled to start. Does anybody know why? Several in our Core were going to watch it.
Investor boosts stake in Xerox - Is buyout on horizon?

Isn't it obvious that it's not worth staying here?
The last time I visited this forum was four months ago, when I gave notice. Since then, I have been contacted by almost 10 old colleagues with a question about how I am doing in my new company and whether it is worth staying here. I'm always a... — read more
XBS
If you work for or support XBS you need to leave now. You will be out of a job in the very near future. Get out while the gettins good.
Don't expect any more major rounds
Xerox is at the stage where having a massive round of layoffs like we used to have for years is no longer feasible. Doing so would cripple the company's ability to do anything, and even our leadership isn't stupid enough to do that. What we will be... — read more
Put a fork in it
It's done. Kaput. Soon to cease being a going concern. Lump sum option will soon be a thing of the past. Grab a life jacket and jump before you get pulled under.
First Quarter Results
Revenue and profit are down but shareholders (Carl Icahn) gets 50% of free cash flow. No mention of reinvesting in the company.
No one mentions layoffs
There don't seem to be any new rumors about layoffs. Does this mean that there won't be any cuts soon?
