Negotiations have started, how's the X caving into the unions? I'm sure they're caving into all the union demands.
Intimidation of temp staff not to work OT at Xerox Canada?
Earlier this year, I heard that the agency staff were being scolded into working OT, and that they are given more work for the same minimum wage. Is this still occurring at the Xerox Canada branches in Toronto and Scarborough?
Rebadges happening in Canada
Can anyone confirm that a mass HCL rebadge happened recently in the Canadian offices? Also, if you are rebadged you will soon be fired and replaced by a Guatemalan.
Long suffering employees
I think there are a lot of them. Some have decided to leave Xerox after the first red flags and they have done so, while others have been seeing red flags for a while and intend to leave, but they are still there. Honestly, how long have you been... — read more

Xerox won’t pursue non-competes

For whom does this company exist anyways?
Does X exist only for shareholders? It kind of seems that way to me. It does not exist for customers, nor is it there for its employees, but only for top dogs and shareholders. Isn't something like that unsustainable? Xerox used to be a much... — read more

Too much of a good thing

Then vs. now

Cheap labor wont fix anything
I don't intend to be here much longer. It will be interesting to see from a distance what results their strategy to use cheap labor will bring. Do they think that cheap labor will fix all the problems in this company? Unfortunately, I don't think it... — read more
Is it true that most of those who leave X get a higher pay at their new jobs?
Here people mostly brag that they have significantly improved their financial situation after they left here. I would like that to be the case and there are probably such cases, but I am also a bit skeptical because starting from the beginning very... — read more
Why is there no decisive strategic direction?
That's where it all starts. This company became vulnerable a long time ago and began to "wander" and sink, precisely because the management was never ready to make any brave strategic decision for the future. It seems so to me anyways. What is the... — read more
To say Xerox is a joke would be an understatement
All the smartest people are long gone. Most of those left are the few smart folks waiting to retire, underachievers who have no other options but to stick around, and new people who are looking to leave within a week of working here. This place has... — read more

It's not always better to leave

Hiring Referral Bonus

Are your skills worth more in other companies?
To be honest, I lingered here because I thought my skillset wasn’t enough to find any better job. Especially considering my age, I thought I had no chance in the job market, so I didn’t even try much to find anything better. It turned out that my... — read more
What were your priorities after Xerox?
Wow, it looks like everyone got a lot better jobs after Xerox. I’m glad if that’s true, but unfortunately, I think the truth is always somewhere in the middle. I eventually accepted a much paid job, but I had to move. As for other benefits, they are... — read more
