Time to wake up
Xerox sold everyone’s soul to the devil. 👹 Nothing shocks me about how corrupt this company has become. I left on my own terms, not waiting to be sacrificed. Customers need to wake up as they are being neglected Bigtime. Time to wake up and Not get... — read more
Does the management even care?
People are getting burned out and completely disengaged. It's like I'm surrounded by robots and not human beings. Morale is as low as it can get and it seems like nobody cares. People are simply going through the motions, that's it. It scares me... — read more
Parts, How are we supposed to fix it if we can't get them???
Parts is a mess. Long gone are the days where you could order a part and actually get it the next day. Now when you order a part, it processes the next day and then ships out usually on the 3rd day if you're lucky. Everything is on back order.. — read more

What a surprise…
Technicians are slammed with calls. 15 calls a day. No time to do what’s needed on the equipment. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. This place deserves an award for the most amount of fire drills in a customer support situation. If you think this is... — read more
Verbal abuse
How often do you experience verbal abuse here? I used to work for a company that had maybe even more problems than Xerox, but I never experienced verbal abuse there. That is unacceptable. Since I know that no one protects the employees here and that... — read more
Who has the better chance of being laid off?
Old-timers or new employees?
Xerox HR is a joke.
Calling xerox HR is such a joke. You can’t understand what they are saying as they are outsourced somewhere and on speakerphone likely from home. Good luck to anyone trying to get a legible straight answer from this setup. Feel like I am calling the... — read more

Every month is a layoff month
No job is safe, but does every month have to be a layoff month at Xerox? I constantly have to worry about what will happen next month. How do they expect people to be motivated and do their best if they know that they can be shown the door at any... — read more

I'm surprised we are doing as well as we are
Considering everything, this ship should have sunk long ago. I'm not really sure how it's still holding on, but I'll be enjoying it and picking up my pay for the minimum amount of work for as long as I can. It's not as if Xerox deserves more from any... — read more

Are you satisfied with the skills you developed here?
I really liked someone’s motivational post that the skills someone has developed here are more valued than people think. Yes, X has mostly ruined people’s self-esteem. However, we should also be realistic. I don’t think I’ve managed to develop some... — read more

Are Lay-offs planned in October?
Has any one else heard of lay-offs in October? I've only heard a random and elusive comment from a person I wouldn't expect to be "in the know".
Desperation at the Core
People are leaving for better jobs/more money and this is not a surprise. A newly appointed VP of Sales drafts a Sales Reps. Resignation Letter like complaining about HCL will undo what was done. Does anyone think Xerox cares? I don’t see them... — read more
