Was it all for nothing?
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
Webcast is a joke
They don't even care. People looking for guidance - and now at least we know CEOs favorite color. Lame and stupid.
Ceo
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
Finance Business
Seemed to be backing off sales of finance business in his Q1 remarks yesterday. Because they can’t find a buyer? Opinions welcome.
The “New” VP of Channels is OUT?
Hearing that the Rose has faded.
Looks like Non-Icahn stock holders know B S when they see it
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

Why are we so surprised with outsourcing?
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
Every company has layoffs
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
What happened to the post on atrocious Q1 revenue results?
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!!!
Bonus is a win for everyone
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
Huge backlash for HCL/Xerox
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
HCL Bonus ?
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
HCL offering Rebadged employees retention bonus.
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
SO PROUD of my GIS associates
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
Any chatter at any of the cores today???
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?
You can’t silence the truth!!!
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
Keep cutting Xerox!
Judging by the composition skills of most of the people on these threads, I think Xerox/HCL will be just fine cutting you.

What else can go wrong?
With these bozos in charge, what disaster is going to happen next? I would not be surprised if they accidentally post customer list and pricing information! For that matter, employees who are fed up could also start sharing this info with the... — read more
Does anybody realy wan’t to buy Xerox anymore?
Heard a lot of talk about Xerox being sold of as a whole company or in pieces. Everybody is mentioning that in a sence that it is something bad that should be avoided. On the other hand I keep wondering why would anyone want to buy such a failing... — read more
Customers must now fix their own devices
Xerox kicked off new direction today to not help a customer that calls in for service if they will not troubleshoot the device with the id--t foreign help desk person first. So if a customer calls in and needs a tech but is too busy doing their job... — read more

HCL found about the cat getting out!
You no longer have access to the Group Xerox-OTC, haha too late HCL! I hope every Core was able to print and/or save the PPT and share it with everyone 🤣
Where did we get it wrong?
And I ask this question aside from the fact that the business is declining and what Xerox has to offer is no longer needed…. Many other companies in the business have the same challenges and yet they manage to survive and not make a mess of things... — read more
Service Support Groups?
What are XBS cores hearing about the service support groups not rebadged to HCL? Help desk, customer service/dispatch, remote install teams .. become Xerox Service or outsourced later?
JohnnyV PERSONAL USE CORPORATE AIRCRAFT $275,000 !!!

An unpopular opinion
Not a popular opinion, but maybe, just maybe, this is the best thing that has happened to Xerox. Clearly the old and trusted management didn't have a clear idea how to move the company forward, let alone taking it into the digital age, except for... — read more

Earnings coming this week, more cost cutting?
I have not heard anything about Q1 earnings. Are they likely bad? What's the next round of cost cuttings? I wonder if they will finish this whole GIS/XBS thing before finding the next lowest hanging piece of fruit to trim out.
Outsourcing was supposed to be about quality
When outsourcing fist hit the scene, it was based on scale of economies. In other words, companies move their ‘non-core’ functions that they may not have the experience and depth to be the best to a company who focus is on that function and can put... — read more
Military Customers
Does anyone know how these layoffs, down sizing, rebadging is effecting the military customers? I remember the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines were great customers replacing equipment every two years or so. Big money for Xerox.
What is Core, GIS, etc?
Can someone please explain Xerox's U.S. structure? I'm in Canada. Here it's mainly a mix of Agent and Xerox Direct, as well as resellers and Channel Alliance partners. I'm not familiar with many of the terms like Core and GIS to name a couple. What... — read more

How much is Xerox saving with the HCL deal?
In any way I think about this, I come up with the same answer. It wasn’t worth it! People losing jobs, other rebadged to train their replacements, and nobody can guarantee that the quality of work will be maintained, much less that it will be better... — read more
