That seems to be the content of the vicious circle that is in play at Xerox. In that sense, whoever thought that the HCL situation wasn’t just the beginning of a long and painful process where the company is cutting and restructuring, and basically... — read more
Thinking Xerox will fail because it failed its customers
The long-standing issue with Xerox is that it continuously breaks its promises to customers. For Ex Misses SLA’s, doctors reporting, eliminates the TSG, doesn’t meet bid requirements it agreed to. This is deeply embedded into its culture. It’s for... — read more
Good news or Fake News
Lets see what happens tomorrow. I’m of the opinion that over half of the negative posts on here are from ex-employees or competitors. First positive post I’ve really ever seen was this evening. Better not be fake news!
Good news from the west coast
Sounds like XBS is getting some much needed positive news tonight or tomorrow. Includes good news for those employees who were rebadged. Don’t know all the details, but tenured and trusted leadership just confirmed good news is coming shortly. Light... — read more
Better jobs out there!
I decided to leave my job at my gis core "Michigan office solutions" before things got worse. I received an offer at the first competitor I applied at. Twenty percent more an hour and better benefits --- I accepted. Way better jobs out there!!
Don't let age stop you
I turned 62 in September 2018 and was canned a month later. My full retirement age is 66 years and 4 months. I took the severance and tested the waters with another company. To my delight, they hired me with an 18% increase in salary and benefits to... — read more
What's going on with your call center?
Can other cores / xerox explain the changes (if any) that is going on with your Service call center? Have you merged with other cores? Please go easy on the rumors and just reply with facts.
Is there any future in this industry?
Think we are working in a business that is dying and will, in some time, no longer exist in the for that we know it in. Has the time come to try to seek our fortune in other businesses before it’s too late?
The possibility of expanding the HCL deal?
Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking there is a possibility that, if all goes well that the leadership could expand the size of the original arrangement with HCL, outsourcing some more parts of the company that weren’t intended to be outsourced in the... — read more
What Was The Hit To WIlsonville?
I got out a few years ago. So happy after 30 yrs. But keep thinking about the Tektronix / WIlsonville Group that had it right, then mother Xerox messed it up.... like all prior acquisitions. Are the WIlsonville folks around still... or gone to HCL?
Not the whole picture
This board is very focused on the GIS/XBS events and understandably so in light of the recent HCL transactions. But the Xerox issues, and layoff implications are much broader than XBS. It’s clear that the big picture is hard to grasp, especially when... — read more

Applying at HCL
I got laid off at Xerox a couple of months ago, before the whole HCL situation. I’ve been unemployed ever since. I’ve seen a job opening at HCL for which I’m qualified and managed to land an Interview. It’s not a topic directly connected to Xerox... — read more
Is HCL at any of the XBS cores?
Please post where.
I'm not looking forward to leaving
A lot of people are hoping to get laid off, but I am among the few who are dreading it. I have only a few years until retirement and i really do not relish the idea of having to look for a new job at any point before that. However, I know I was... — read more
Grab your life jackets
Xerox is a sinking ship, the direction the company has taken in recent months in favour of costs and turnover rather than moral & integrity is nothing short of disgusting (I understand its business but the treatment of employees and the way this news... — read more
What parts of the company will be up for sale first?
Seems like a logical question at this point, because that could be their next move. If you recall, there was a lot of talk about parts of the company being sold off, but all that talk stopped in light of the whole HCL situation. Do you think they... — read more
Confirmed
Sources are saying that the big chiefs are in a meeting together and they confirmed that they heard JV and others are putting together the names of the next group. The rumor is May 31 will be billing and accounting department. The on s staying will... — read more
Billing/accounting/HR
These departments will be eliminated by end of May 2019. Its a done deal. We will be outsourcing these jobs. The rumor is HCL is a skilled competent company and the training they are receiving from the cores are confusing and intentionally explained... — read more

XBS/GIS vs USSX (United Socialist States of Xerox)
XBS/GIS was faster, cheaper, and better at service/sales than Xerox ever was. That's just factual per capita we are just better run. Hence why they bought us, we were kicking the stuffing out of them in every market. Xerox is a government unto... — read more
who will win XBS business model or Johnny v and his team
Its a race to see if Johnny v Mike F Steve B can cut costs fast enough to make up for the sales decline inside of XBS the numbers in xerox direct have been chopped up enough with the xerox direct spin to probably show growth dump the bad stuff in xbs... — read more
is HCL a real company or a front for a Xerox sell off?
i swear that never in my life have i seen anything like what is going on. HCL has gotten NOTHING right. Nobody can get a straight answer, to anything! They supposedly have over 100,000 employees but their head of HR could not even explain on the... — read more
Xerox, Global Imaing, XBS
I've heard that Global Imaging service technicians, now XBS technicians, no longer report to their XBS/GIS core or the service managers associated with the core. Instead they report to Xerox directly. Is this correct? If so how is this any different... — read more
Timing of Q2 workforce reductions
It’s a given that there will be additional layoffs/IRIFs in 2nd Quarter. Does anyone have any credible information on timing in the US (May or June) and will it be targeted groups or widespread. Managers are obviously indicating that they have not... — read more
Bill Gates versus I-CONN
You see the occasional pro-Icahn post here blabbering how he's a philanthropist somehow suggesting that this parasite is a good person. Compare Icahn to Bill Gates at MSFT. Gates gives billions to charities each year without running companies into... — read more
GIS/XBS employees 401K not being matched?
Not sure if this applies to Xerox employees but GIS/XBS employees got 401k match through the company. We all received a letter at the end of last year telling us the match was going down but were still getting something. Well a bunch of us have... — read more
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
Are recently hired people also at risk?
I started working at Xerox a little over six months ago (I really needed a job ASAP and it seemed like a good idea at a time - I wish I checked this page before I said yes, though.) I see that most people who are getting laid off have been here much... — read more

Webster R&D Bldg 128 Closed?
I happened by the Xerox campus the other day and was surprised to see the parking lot of Bldg 128 empty. I knew Xerox was cutting way back on R&D (including the departure of SH), but to see this particular building apparently completely shuttered was... — read more

How is it to work at HCL?
Has anybody heard any info what is it really like to work for HCL. There are a lot of people on this board, so I imagine there is at least someone who came on to some info about that. Also I would like to know does anyone get to stay longer, or is... — 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
Why are there Xerox job postings?
I thought we were in cost cutting mode? If that's true, why are we still employing? And on that note, who in their right mind would join Xerox right now?
Is now the right time to abandon ship?
I’ve already decided, updated my resume, started applying, eve got a few interviews scheduled, but I wanted to get some other takes on this. In my head, I don’t see anything good happening at Xerox, so why not take advantage of the situation and try... — read more
SO IRRITATED over our 401K
We all strive to secure a decent future for ourselves, then a few men come along and derail it in every possible way they can. It is bad enough to be forced to badge over , but because of that Xerox now got out of matching our 401K contributions from... — read more
