This site is chalked full of boards saying exactly what Xerox people are saying. Mass layoffs, worst management, terrible morale, etc, etc. Hint: It's not just Xerox folks. The tide has turned on the economy and ALL corporations are s---ing wind... — read more
If you received a letter, Xerox just told you to bend over
It’s your choice to either bend over or do something about it. It’s as simple as that. Good luck with your decision.
Lawsuit - Did everyone's include voluntary resignation if HCL offer turned down.
The language about voluntarily resigning if not taking HCL offer is sketchy. Not legal, they're trying to boost their stock price without officially "laying people of." Who's on board for a lawsuit I've already consulted a lawyer.
Why is it so difficult to get answers?
The biggest red flag here is the inability to get answers to our questiona. Leaders either don't know or are playing stupid. I've been through this with other companies but at least answers could be obtained.
Not rebadged, not a manager
What does it mean if our whole admin team (out of about 18) has been rebadged to HCL except two of us.....and neither of us are managers?
Who do you blame?
I've been following these threads for months now. I've seen a lot of info tossed about. And I've been following this dumpster fire since it started last spring. I'm wondering, who do YOU blame for what's currently happening? Carl Icahn/John Visentin... — read more
XBS summary?
Will someone from XBS please give a rundown on the actions in the cores? Those of us in other parts of the company haven't heard anything about the actions there. What types of tiles are going to HCL?
People staying in Xerox
What will happen to the people staying in Xerox? Will anything change? What is their future?
Has anyone received their offer?
Its 4:42 here and no offer yet. What does HCL consider and of day?
Angry
Nobody wants to come to work anymore. All passion is out of the company.

Letters
Does anyone know when these letters for the HCL offer are coming? I've heard some cores speculate not getting it till after 5. It feels like they're trying to give us as little time as possible to think this offer over.
What if you are left at XBS when your team is going to HCL?!
The team is now part of HCL. What does that mean for the managers that didn't goto HCL? Am I to train the new HCL manager starting next week then slowly back away?? Why would the Core keep me if I have no team??? Tired of being told to just relax and... — read more
HCL Severance Wording
The wording in the HCL package says “if your employment is terminated by HCL within the first 3 years of employment (without cause) you will be eligible to receive severance benefits no less favorable than those provided by Xerox”. Should this make... — read more
Field Network Anaylst/Installers
Does anybody have any news on field anyalst.
Good luck to all new HCL people
Unless you give up certain legal rights, I don't see why you would ever turn down the HCL offer. Certainly it's not something most of us would want, as the future in HCL seems questionable if there is a possibility of moving your job to a lower... — read more
How many total?
Somebody mentioned that over 500 people were affected yesterday - do we know if that's the final number? Will there be even more layoffs or changes announced today? I'm really hoping the answer is no, because I'm really not sure how much more of this... — read more
How many people moved to HCL

How will work get done?
After yesterday, and after everything that has been happening in the last year or two - and I'm talking layoffs, attrition, vacant position remaining vacant - who is it that Xerox thinks will do the actual work that needs to be done? Do they even... — read more
No Company or organization thinks of Xerox as an innovator
With all due respect, Xerox had technology in digital space and stopped developing it, stopped supporting it and bungled every aspect of marketing and selling it. So it’s stuck with shrinking clicks, because NO Company or organization thinks of Xerox... — read more
Game of Attrition - It's NOT just us
Take a look at the Canon, Ricoh, HP pages on thelayoff.com. They are all talking about the EXACT same thing. RIF's, layoffs, outsourcing, etc. Canon just laid off 50 from Melville TODAY. The reality is, the market is shrinking. There are too many... — read more
Dazed and confused
I left today feeling even more uncertain about my future.. I am now an employee of HCL. I don’t know who or what to believe.. senior managers made it sound like this was a great opportunity for us. We haven’t gotten our offer letters yet so we are... — read more
It’s over.......
Global is done, it’s over friends. Every single aspect of what we do is being centralized and therefore eliminated. Today it was finance and admin. Tomorrow it’s HR/IT/Supply Chain (all warehouse jobs)/Purchasing/Help Desk/Marketing- I’m not... — read more
Reality check
This new leadership has now proven they are running scared. They need to deliver to Carl Icahn and are realizing that the previous Xerox leadership had already applied the normal cost cutting tactics. They have now been informed by some Xerox traitor... — read more
Contract Workers
Why are they laying off permanent people and keeping contract workers?
Webex! Talking a lot without saying anything. Xerox Europe?
Anyone know what's happening in Xerox Europe? All the WebEx did was confuse and worry people. The writing has been on the wall for some time now. Do we still get the massive 2 percent one off payment in July? All the money is at the top...
Pension for those moving to HCL?
For those with a pension moving to HCL, what happens to it? What if you were near retirement, would you be offered a bridge?

What it means
Those who are being rebadged met with a manager and were told they have until Friday/Monday to accept offers from HCL. If they do not accept they will be terminated. As of today they are considered HCL employees. No benefits should be changing. HCL... — read more
Sales Status
I’ve been told, sales representatives will not be affected? Is this true? Xerox or GIS?
Mandatory town hall today
Just received an email containing a meeting invite for a mandatory town hall with hcl leadership. Bye xerox.
Did we learn anything of substance from that Webex?
What a bunch of garbage. We left more confused than ever. Does anyone know WHO is be rebadged? We don’t.
"Technology Powerhouse" - Another FAILED webcast
Another webcast and another system crashing. Can't even log on and authentication is failing. Nice work xerox. Did you try adding another ISDN line?
You will be okay
I know I'm not the first to say this and I will most likely not be the last, but whatever happens today, you will be okay. Everybody I know who either left Xerox or was laid off is doing so much better now. There is a transition period where it looks... — read more
Is Chapter 11 a possibility?
I'm wondering the way Xerox has been going - stuck on a downward trajectory for so long - is it possible that we could be looking at bankruptcy sometime down the line? I don't think it's going to happen this year, but I'm more and more convinced that... — read more
What could be the selloff scenarios?
