Copied from the HP lay-off comments
“Just look at the Xerox Team of Top Executives. They have all come from HP. Icahn has known HP was the target acquiring company, so you bring in some former HP insiders to grease the rails for a big deal. HP doesn't want ALL of Xerox, just parts... — read more

Any XBS cores hear from Al lately?
He's been a ghost for weeks. Doesn't respond to email or calls, but his email still shows up on stuff and doesn't auto reply back that he's out. I've heard rumors of XBS corporate folks leaving but haven't heard his name mentioned yet.
What's the next big move?
Not hearing any rumors. With all the HCL rebadging in the last couple weeks, are there any credible rumors of another wave? Sure it's going to happen, but not sure when or what organizations. With the push to become a tech powerhouse, will management... — read more
