Other than that, not much to be thankful for these days. At least not for us still stuck at Xerox. Those who got out are probably over the moon right now.
What can we expect in the new year?
More layoffs? More massive outsourcing? Elimination of some positions or departments? I believe it’s going to be more of the same, just on a bigger scale and that 2020 could be the year in which the xerox employees are going to be hit the hardest... — read more

Ready for year-end?
Are the trucks ready to ship supplies and equipment to warehouses so that we can artificially boost revenue like we did in Q3? Also, remember not to pay vendors! Cash has to look great for year-end.
HP questioning XRX business viability
Listen to CNBC - Do you copy that? Finally, the street might be waking up. Hopefully, auditors and SEC will be next!

Companies w no fear of this board
For f— sake Wouldn’t it be a better idea to go get work with a company that won’t lay-off or outsource? Then we won’t have all wishing, wondering, and whining There are other jobs than Xerox and HCL I check in every so often just to see the... — read more
Xerox has no viable 3D metal offering
Vader was purchased, then castrated, with no investment since acquisition. If HPQ is thinking that would be a benefit of purchasing XRX, they will be ahem surprised. Thoughts?
HP does not need Xerox
Why buy this piece of sh-t? Too much risk for too little returns.HP can just grab market share and the consolidation that Icky and Vas---ne want will occur naturally without spending a dime... — read more
More HCL transfers
What do you think?
layoffs this week?
I've heard something is happening this week, but sadly my sources of rumors have been less than reliable the last few months. So maybe nothing. Had the HP deal actually gone through I would expect something big after completion. Perhaps a... — read more

HCL leaked Offshoring slides vs real timeline notices
I wonder how well the leaked HCL slide timelines for the planned offshoring line up to the recent 60 day notices being sent out. This should not be a surprise for anyone as it was all out there for everyone to see in the leaked files, including the... — read more

Lots of people on the call with Peta, got our verbal that we will have our 60 day notice in our HCL email by end of day Monday. They said we will be required to work the full 60 days to get our severance. Fun Fun.
Does xerox usually give a Christmas bonus?
Newer employee here, this will be my first Xmas with xerox, and I’m wondering if they usually give a Christmas bonus to employees, and what it “generally” is if they do. I’m assuming they give something, since every job I’ve had before has given some... — read more
Carl buys into HP
https://ca.reuters.com/article/businessNews/idCAKBN1XO0FA
The sad truth
The sad truth is that the people making the decisions don’t even know what is involved in the positions they are impacting. Because they see the jobs as low level (more than one level below c-suite), employees to fill the position are... — read more
2020 Holiday Schedule
Has anyone seen a posted Holiday Schedule for 2020? Or does that mean we are gone and everyday will be a holiday?
Sanderson Sardines
Have you seen the way they have packed those poor guys in on the ground floor at the new HQ in Uxbridge !! Its like a Chinese call centre. Anyway apparently the lease is under a year, so you know what's happening next. More news should be swift.
Be honest

Was open enrollment starting this week? How does the health insurance cost look compared to this year?
Pre-Thanksgiving parade tradition
Xerox has a reliable history of the pre-Thanksgiving Day Parade (layoffs). Now that Project OwnIt has only delivered 60% of the savings commitment for 2019 we can only assume this years event will be significant. Good luck to all. If you can exit... — read more
Xerox hoping HP will buy them.
This buying act by johnny and boys are high school boys who need attention. Playing the part of buying HP. Xerox doesn't even have money to maintain there machines in the field. There broke a– company wanting a handout.
Wagers on Naresh Shanker future in Q1?
Somebody has to take the fall when Q1 end rolls around. Will it be NS? SB? Or will a non-icahnian non-HP failboy take the hit? Inquiring minds want to know. Only a merger or sale can prevent the need to place blame once Wall Street wakes up to what... — read more

Hey guys. I started working for a xerox owned business about 4 months ago. We seem to do really well in our area. I just found this site and I keep reading about HCS and XBS layoffs. Seems as though it’s all doom and gloom here. I really like my job... — read more
Does early retirement go away if HP acquires Xerox?
Since some think that Icahn is trying to goad HP into acquiring Xerox, what would happen to the Xerox defined benefit plan if that happened? I know ERISA stipulates that benefits you've earned cannot be taken away. But would HP be required to honor... — read more
Wasn’t John V fired from HP?
John V was fired from HP and now he had Xerox pursuing buying them? What is it with former HP executives and potential retribution agendas. Remember Antonio Perez trying to turn Kodak into a printing company after he left HP?
