What made Global cores successful in the past was their ability to provide better service than the competition. Global sells "LOCAL" infrastructure. The Admin staff is a big part of that success and the customers will ultimately make the decision if... — read more
US law vs Rest of World
I’ve read a lot about US job transfer to HCL and it all seems to be rather quick. What rules are there around consulting with employees and taking them through the changes and impacts? My job will move to HCL but we are working towards 1st June given... — read more
Will Xerox be the next Lehmann Brothers or Enron?
What is the possibility that Xerox will be shut down?
Any response after sending in signed offer letter?
Anyone get a response that HCL received your e-mail / signed offer letter?
Who will be one of the last Global cores left standing?
I predict they will start merging the cores next, regionalizing call centers and even warehouses. Who do you think will be the last cores standing?
Steve Hoover
Is there any confirmation that Steve Hoover has left?
What benefits?
I left Xerox after 37 years in November before they screwed with the 2019 lump sum payout. The only benefit I have from the company is managing my 401k plan.I pay for my own medical coverage because that was eliminated years ago for retires. I cannot... — read more
Senior XBS HQ leadership leaving, what's that tell everybody?
Just heard through the XBS grapevine, that two big name XBS/GIS HQ directors have resigned. Two big names that any XBS cores have dealt with regularly and would know very well. XBS is imploding. How many more will follow? What does that mean they... — read more
Affected in Global Delivery?
Hearing about people within the Global Delivery organization (different teams, locations etc.) being transferred over - does anybody have more information on exactly which orgs/areas/functions are moving to HCL?
How lower will the Xerox headcount in the US be?
Becoming a holding company, outsourcing, rebadging, layoffs, potential selling of parts of the company…. It’s hard to keep track of just how much people will be affected by all of these changes, but I’m guessing a lot. Any Idea what the worker... — read more
We may already be at $40/share - The Icahn Number
Today XRX stock hit a new 52-week high ($33.08). UP 74% since Christmas! Although Xerox employees are upset with all that is happening, Icahn's plan is working to perfection. With all the applied changes, investors become more and more confident... — read more
I knew it was over when they said the focus was on Xerox Software and Solutions ...
Xerox Workplace Suite? Docushare? C'mon ... we'd get our butt's handed to us if we HAD to sell this. The competition is SO far ahead of these solutions, when I heard this several weeks ago I knew it was a sham and there was no plan for growth. Yep... — read more
How outside people see Xerox
I don't work for Xerox but live with someone who does. I can tell you over the last 16 years I've watch my sign. other go through stressful times with the IRIFS, VRIFs and now this. I work for a fortune 500 and make decisions on extending hardware... — read more
How many people will re-badge to HCL?
Seems to be a logical question at this point. Also what comes to mind is the question what position will they be taking in and weather that will be a permanent job position, or is the real plan for the re-badgers to train their replacements and get... — read more
Stay on Company Car Program?
Anyone have any idea if XRX to HCL people currently on the company car program will stay on the program, or have to get a new vehicle? Of course, my direct manager has no idea.
How much is enough?
How many of Xerox employees need to be outsourced and offshored before it's enough? When will it stop? Will it ever?
Still no offer!
6:45am on Thursday and still no offer! Guess it won’t be 3 business days to make a choice! This is some shady sh--. I received my letter from Xerox saying if I don’t take the offer. . That has not come. . I vonlentary quit. I was advised to send a... — read more
Attention whistleblowers: if you see something wrong, consult a lawyer. Big money
This is a simple reminder that if you are handling any aspect of the quarter performance, and you see something illegal please contact a lawyer immediately. Not only do you need to protect yourself, Xerox should not be subjecting you to illegal... — read more
What a milestone for us - xerox
https://www.livemint.com/companies/news/hcl-technologies-wins-1-3-billion-contract-from-xerox-1552981805350.html
This is only the beginning of the HCL story
The HCL contract is estimated to save Xerox $120 million per year. There were approximately 525 XBS employees who moved, 275 between direct and Canada that moved, and another 200 worldwide bringing the total to roughly 1,000 in this first round... — read more
I'm not sticking up for them, but it's just the way this stuff normally goes down
I actually looked at the HCL pg on theLayoff and nothing recent. I/others think huge group moves to HCL, then reorg and further fallout at Xerox, then layoffs of many that moved from Xerox. Xerox can say they didn't directly do the layoff, but hey... — read more
Xerox, just the latest casualty
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
Has anyone heard how many people were offered to move to HCL in US and worldwide?
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
