Hey- can you guys remind me who is the CEO of Xerox? The one whose favorite book is “Good Night Moon” and is lacking Technology skills? I believe his name rhymes with an anal lubricant? Thanks In advance

Yesterday (4/30) more people laid off in Webster, NY campus Bldg 111. The process is getting more callous, didn’t even provide the usual box to carry out their personal belongings in. May not seem significant but it seems like getting slapped and... — read more 

Such mixed emotions, but I just can't do this anymore. Between all of this Xerox 'restructuring', slumped sales, attrition like there is no tomorrow and the general panic I had no choice but to look elsewhere. Been here a decade. Sad to see things... — read more 

Has anyone had contact with an HCL Representative on site at their core? How was the encounter? Did they give any insight about the future?

One of 2019's top stocks is a 113-year-old company https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/10/investing/xerox-stock/index.html

“... the only segment of the business arguably worth anything being GIS.”

John V during his webcast announced he is investing in hiring people. Does he mean the U.S. jobs that are currently being offshored to Manila?

People are not stupid. Everyone knows that the fact that they were not chosen to move to HCL makes them the prime candidates to get laid off, sooner rather than later, of course, in parts of the company that were outsourced. People are leaving as we... — read more 

As a department head who has lost numerous people through retirement or leaving for other companies . . . I was informed when several of my recommendations for contract workers were denied stating that the new HR policy does not allow the rehiring of... — read more 

Everyone I speak to absolutely hate JohnV and the rest of the management team. They are absolutely despised to the point that many employees are now wishing for Xerox to fail. In these circumstances, can a company survive, let alone strive? What an... — read more 

Decided to take a minute during my break today to chronicle this mess that XRX management has brought upon us - at least from one core's angle. Normally I would be posting for jobs now yet this will be better 1: years of mismanagement and a lack of... — read more 

It’s one thing to outsource all that is possible, and it’s harmful enough. Aside from that, there is another, may be much more harmful element to this process. A company growth and innovation is always based on people that believe in the company, and... — read more 

I was curious if it was possible. Could there be a group webpage or forum somewhere that only ‘rebadged to HCL’ employees were members? Or would it be impossible to govern/monitor/manage or prove If it could be anonymous like this site but require... — read more 

Still sinking in about that addendum letter many of us rebadged folks got this week. I'm looking for a job, but wondering what happens if i don't get out of here soon. HCL is committed to 6 months in my ltr. It states 60 days notice will be given if... — read more 

I certainly couldn’t. I find it tragic what this company has become and the fact that it has the potential to sink even lower, and we used to be a great company. I imagine that the professors at business schools will use xerox as an example how not... — read more 

Have you noticed that some posts are being removed? For example there was one posted yesterday about revenue decline and one today about funny nicknames and both are gone. What’s up with that?

This isn’t even about stabilizing anything. It’s about continuing to cut costs and selling their shares. That’s all the current AND previous mgt know to do.

And suddenly you care? Now someone should do something about it? Where have you been when all those other jobs were sent out of the country? What cars have you been driving? What clothes have you been wearing? What household goods are you buying?... — read more

Did the mass layoffs stabilize the company and took it out of the free fall? I don’t think so. So, all philosophy aside, it turns out that the management only conducted the layoffs to keep themselves in position a little longer until they open their... — read more 

They don't even care. People looking for guidance - and now at least we know CEOs favorite color. Lame and stupid.

I love the way that the CEO's of these cores are promising that things are ok and that they can guarantee certain positions within the company. Listen Linda! Understand God himself cannot change what's already done and happening. The best move anyone... — read more 

Seemed to be backing off sales of finance business in his Q1 remarks yesterday. Because they can’t find a buyer? Opinions welcome.

Hearing that the Rose has faded.

Hey Icahn, it’s time to buy to artificially pump up the price some more. Don’t forget to buy back more shares Vas---ne, it’s the only way for you to hit your bonuses. It’s a shame Icahn is devastating the American jobs to grow his wealthy cronies... — read more

I believe from the moment the HCL deal was in the form of a rumor up until today I see people within xerox acting surprised, as outsourcing was something we came across for the first time. When we look at the big picture, we will see that the company... — read more 

Do people really think that finding a job anywhere else (unless it's a really small family business) they'd be in a better position than at Xerox now? Companies lay people off even when they are doing well (just check some of the other companies on... — read more 

Revenue down 7% at constant currency, 9% at actual. Great job Johnny Vas---ne! Now I under why they’re paying $20M +. Continue blowing smoke with the rest of your bozos!!!

This is a WIN for everyone. It is an additional safety net especially for employees that will struggle to find comparable work. That saying 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' applies here. If you can get another great job right now in this... — read more 

Looks like most Xerox and XBS cores have seen the link to the PowerPoint that was leaked. It's making it's rounds and it's all the gossip this morning. People are printing it out and sharing it all over. Add that to the retention bonus emails that... — read more 

I don’t read this as a guaranteed 6 months employment. I read “HCL is committed to 6 months” I don’t take it as a guarantee Regardless. Between this and the PowerPoint slides that were shared on another post I hope that NO ONE is sitting idle and... — read more 

Is this an act of desperation to retain employees? Risk and reward is usually a big key part in deciding to stay. The risk is months of unemployment with no benefits or missing an opportunity finding a job while the market is good. The reward is the... — read more 

To all my fellow sister cores: We were and are still being screwed over by Xerox, treated with absolutely no appreciation for our hard work and dedication over the years to make GIS a great company, many of us thought we would complete our careers... — read more 

I remember seeing someone yesterday saying something about having a meeting with their president about the images posted on here (which came from an HCL email). Any details?

It looks like somehow the link doesn’t work. No worries it will be up and running again soon. It’s funny how they can dish the lies to everyone but can’t handle the truth!!!! It’s ok everyone knows your plan of outsourcing everything to Guatemala and... — read more 

Judging by the composition skills of most of the people on these threads, I think Xerox/HCL will be just fine cutting you.
