Topics regarding layoffs at Xerox Corp.

Outsourcing, selloffs, layoffs

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

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

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

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

XBS/GIS vs USSX (United Socialist States of Xerox)

GIS/XBS employees 401K not being matched?

Copied from the HP lay-off comments

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?
