Whoever is making these fluff posts you know Xerox can track who makes these posts and eventually they will find you. No telling how many people have been let go for posting on this site in a way that demeans mother Xerox.
Isn't This Site Called Xerox Layoffs to Discuss This Topic?
I'm sorry to those who feel the need to put up "fluff" posts in an attempt to hide the comments regarding Xerox layoffs. You obviously are still employed by Xerox and it is part of your job to try to improve employee morale and create blinders to... — read more
Who buys Xerox?
We all know where this is heading..... at some point, Xerox will be broken up and sold. XBS will be sold at a premium while Xerox is sold for pennies on the dollar. Question is, who buys what?
More Fluff Pieces Please!
Looks like we need to push some ripe stinky posts down. Any topic will do... Feel free to regurgitate some old favorites!
Who can rescue Xerox?
Is there a partner who could rescue Xerox? A manufacturer perhaps? Even a merger/buyout? Is there any possible path???
Canon is the industry leader and it’s not close
Change my mind
How does Xerox end 2021?
Any guesses on big moves Xerox makes this year? Seems like it’s been relatively quiet lately.
Any more talk of a merger with HP?
This was a hot topic last summer. Haven’t heard anything about it recently?
So sad to see this company go to pot
Been here 34 years. Seen a lot come and go. Never seen such horrible management like I have the last 3 years.
Cease and Desist from Xerox
Just got the classic cease and desist letter from Xerox. I had left the company and went to a competitor about 6 months ago. Admittedly, I’ve been in contact with my previous customers... Many of them will be leaving Xerox regardless due to inability... — read more
Why do people not check companies before they join them?
I really can't understand some of the newer hires. I'm yet to meet one who hadn't regretted their decision within a few months. When I hear their reasons it becomes clear they never bothered to really read up on the company before joining. I mean... — read more
Investor Day - Feb 5, 2019. Two year review
2 years ago Xerox presented quite the smoke and mirror show, including “ Xerox anticipates that it can achieve flat to growing revenue by 2021”. Folks, 2021 is here. 2 years into the 3 year strategy, little has been achieved, but the pandemic has... — read more
Dealing with Askhr, aka HR
Anyone else having issues or concerns with our obvious overseas HR. Emails are awful and it's like playing tag, I only get responses at 3am. Thete is an obvious language barrier when it comes to trying to communicate a problem It's concerning... — read more
Have there been any layoffs so far this year?
Is it possible that we've managed to go a full month (plus a few days!) without anybody being cut?
Make Xerox Great Again
Put on your Tech-Powerhouse hats on!! Xerox can’t provide service or toner to existing customers so the new plan is to start even more failing ideas!!... — read more
Is there a better metaphor to explain the current state of things?
Continue to be shocked at the extent the market and even internals are largely unaware of the true state of xrx right now. At what point does this place cease to operate at all and fold in on itself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iaqy5KF9eU
Layoffs predicted
So according to the latest Xerox Q4 results release, Xerox laid off 750 in Q4 last year and 2300 for whole of 2020. Worldwide. Did anyone get that info onto this forum?
Severance pay short changed?
Curious as to whether Xerox Direct Techs IRIF'ed in December got all 8 weeks minus taxes and was it what you thought it would be? Mine came up about 1600 short assuming 8 regular weeks of pay minus 8 weeks of regular taxes
Self-Confidence after a layoff
Does anyone have a problem with low self-esteem after getting laid off? It bothers me a lot. Despite the fact that I am aware that the dismissal has little to do with the quality of my work, it is quite difficult for me to tell people that I am the... — read more
With this attitude, more layoffs are guaranteed
From the earnings transcript: We plan to save $375 million as a result of Project Own It in 2021. Through robotic process automation, we have streamlined routine tasks, including managing service tickets, updating asset data and processing customer... — read more
401K empty
Did Xerox empty out the existing 401K account and force it into Voya today??
No interest in earnings?
Most would agree the quality of information here has suffered as a new tier of disgruntled workers came on board. Perhaps alongside that came an exodus of good finance thinkers. It’s sad that on this earnings call day there is no discussion on that... — read more
The Xerox Shell Game
Here we go again! Put a ball under one of three cups, move the cups around, guess where the ball is. Xerox is establishing 3 businesses to drive growth. You get the point. What's next, three card monte, a ponzi scheme, pig in a poke?
Bldg 111 - non-holiday occupancy
I consistently notice less than 50 cars total when observing all 3 bldg 111 parking lots. “Covid-19” might explain until you notice the high percentage of people that are offline all day.
I miss the good old products
Remember when our UI/UX was something to be proud of?
CI articles
Anyone have favorite stories or articles about Carl?
Ursula Burns?
I worked briefly at Xerox when Jeff Jacobsen had just left and John Visentin was hired. From this board, I've seen lots of mixed opinions on Ursula Burns, but find it interesting that her identity is still so tightly associated with Xerox, so... — read more
I miss the good old days
Remember when working here was something to be proud of? When Xerox was a respected name and everybody knew about it due to the quality of its products and not for layoffs and failures, as the situation is now? When it was an asset instead of a... — read more
Xerox
Xerox Outsourcing Office Support to India As we noted in February, Xerox began quietly shuttering about half of Xerox Business Systems (formerly Global Imaging Systems) offices. CRN quoted one of the affected office workers saying, “We were told... — read more
Better to be unemployed?
A friend / ex-colleague got laid off last year and still hasn’t found a new job. If I was in her shoes, I know it would be a terrible situation for me and I intended to comfort her, so I was really surprised when I saw that she was not worried at... — read more
Incredible how much things have n't changed.
Maybe this perspective is over simplified? Is there a counterpoint? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3NASGb5m8s
I am officially leaving that sinking ship!
Oh, the long sigh of relief I am having now... like the cruise ship leaving port, the noisy city slowly growing less loud and disappearing altogether to a blessed silence....Seagulls and waves. I honestly feel like that. That and escaping prison... — read more
How am I the lucky one?
I haven't visited this forum since I was laid off more than a year ago. It breaks my heart to come here after so long to see that not only things haven't improved, they've become even worse. I really feel for my colleagues who are still there and... — read more
Vacation time
I got transferred over to xerox with 25 years experience. Supposed to get 6 weeks per xerox vacation time. I get 4 weeks because they are going off when we were bought by GIS. Complete bull sh!t and seems unethical
401k voya hysteria...for no reason
I did my homework. Found the fees paid to conduent (it took me a while to hunt them down) and the new ones in the Voya prospectus. For my own mix I will actually see a .0003% DECREASE annually (which is peanuts for sure). Everyone needs to do their... — read more
This is what Xerox has become
Glassdoor must have taken it down since I don't see it anymore but there was a hilarious interview review recently posted for a Software Engineering Manager. The writer said that Xerox tried to recruit them based on it's name in the industry but no... — read more
Extra charges that don't make sense??
Has anyone that was IRIF'd the first of December finding extra charges like a company vehicle charge or taxes when they haven't driven the vehicle since they were furloughed or extra medical, dental charges for their final mid December pay check??
