What I have heard from a few different sources: count 532, not all Webster, many managers and departments. Severance is leftover vacation, 1 week/year of service, capped at 12. Some we're walked out, others til end of month. Is over? Maybe not til... — read more
3 Word Statement: Define cause of Xerox' decline
What's your 3 word statement? Here is my: "Unable to adjust"
Is Xerox really to blame?
Been watching these posts for months. Cant help but notice most are added during the workday. Im assuming its this between Facebook posts. Is Xerox really totally to blame? How many "work" from home? How many jogged at lunch for years, and had time... — read more
You're safe until 2019
Congratulations, you made it through another round of layoffs! Go home, eat, drink, be merry. You have nothing to fear for the rest of 2018. 2019 is shaping up to be the year Xerox is divided & sold to multiple companies. The brand will continue but... — read more
is it over?????

How many?
People seem to be saying one was laid off here, five there... All small numbers. Does that mean that this was one of Xerox's smaller rounds? Or have there been more layoffs we are not hearing about here? It'd also be good to know if this will... — read more
Severance?
What is the current severance package for those being IRIF'd today? I was let go after 38 years when they shut down our research center two years ago. At that time we still got 1 week per year of service, but I have heard that is no longer the case... — read more
Layoffs are happening
Don't listen to trolls, layoffs have not been canceled. I don't understand why somebody would feel the need to lie at a moment like this. Layoffs are happening as I type this. Personally, I know for a fact Finance was hit today. And it doesn't look... — read more
Enbi Group and Pierce Industries
Also heard today that these two have teamed up and may be interested in buying our roller manufacturing line. There appears to be some info out there that indicates the company will be broken up and sold. HP has their hat in the ring too for other... — read more
Xerox lay off
I heard Brightview guys at Xerox will be the next to go
TONER area is hiring
Just an FYI to all of those that think the company is going under. Perhaps so but in the toner world they are hiring and back filling positions. This may be in an attempt to lure Fuji Film to buy the supplies sector but at least they are bringing in... — read more
Layoffs cancelled
Layoffs were canceled because of the news coverage and being so close to holidays.
Bonuses all around
Holiday bonuses for everyone.

Welcome to Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason’s Meat Slaughterhouse. With your special CEO, Mini Me!
Just get it over with
I wish they would just get it over with. I am working on a plan but I can't just voluntarily leave now. My plan is a good one but I would be happy to have more time to dedicate to it. I am not someone who will receive severance so I will be able to... — read more
What Does Xerox Do?
The average person has no idea what Xerox even does anymore after so many acquisitions transformations and divestitures. Document solutions are a joke as a business model in this day and age, a relic of an earlier era when a perfectly adequate... — read more

Some words of advice for those getting laid off on Thursday
Know that you will be in shock. Make sure you understand each piece of paper you are given. As mentioned earlier, you don't have to sign the agreement tomorrow, but you should question each form and its purpose. Tonight I noticed my dismissal letter... — read more
There is no fixing this
I don't hate Xerox as much as a lot of people do here, nor do I hate my job. However, even I am willing to admit that I don't see a way to fix this mess. We have to face facts. And facts are that Xerox is a doomed company. It can save itself with... — read more
A message to those not impacted by the IRIF actions
After each round of IRIF actions take place and you realize that you were not affected, do not breath a sigh of relief and just go back to doing your job. There WILL be more after this week. The goal of the current executive team is to sell the... — read more
Are layoffs happening tomorrow?
Please tell me that rumor has been proven wrong? I can't take much more of this...
Is a merger already underway?
let’s look at some facts: 1) John V has HP roots 2) Steve B has HP roots 3) John and Steve cronies actively being placed in key positions, most either HP or Nathanson 4) “Tech powerhouse” mantra with nothing unveiled and advice rejected 5) secretive... — read more
Ironic Take Our Blood Before We Get Axed
A blood drive in building 335 on Wednesday. The same building will be used to process people being terminated the following day. What's next, a pound of flesh?
Moving boxes might not be related to layoffs
There was a post that mentioned a large amount of moving boxes that were ordered. An admin told me that some buildings will be vacated so they will be consolidating and moving employees. I heard many are moving to buildings 111, 207 & 208 in Webster... — read more
VRIF and bridging to retirement
Xerox used to offer a VRIF before most IRIFs. I haven't heard of this offered in the last year, is this no longer a thing? Along with that they would offer a bridge to retirement for those eligible. Have they offered this recently?
Is today the layoff day?
Has it been determined if layoffs are happening today or on Thursday? It'd be good to know what I'm walking into at work today. I'd like to prepare myself mentally ahead of time. (Although, in all honesty, lately I've been preparing myself for... — read more
The Impending Layoffs on December 10th or 13th - Understanding your Rights
There has a lot of speculation that the final round of layoffs for 2018 will be on December 13th (or a recent thread indicated December 10th). There was supposed to be a layoff on November 29th, but no such layoff occurred. Rumor had it this layoff... — read more
Today's D&C paper
Anyone get the actually Democrat and Chronicle paper? Rumor is there was an ad in the D&C about Xerox moving jobs overseas in todays day paper (not online).
Xerox doesn’t lose many legal battles
Anyone who received severance had to sign a document stating we would not be involved in any legal action. Unless the courts decide we were ‘coerced’, that would remove the majority of us from a class action suit. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see... — read more
This Will affect you
Everyone needs to pay attention to this. Even though they have already let many people go, they are STILL working to make it EASIER to IRIF many more. Still feel obligated to defend them? Still feel like you should "just keep your head down" and hope... — read more
Change to year end reviews
Can't help but think changes/time line to PEP is to safe guard company for further layoffs. We are "reducing documentation" and no performance ratings. So no documentation when a top performer gets laid off...
Unemployment after being laid off
Since people often ask here about collecting unemployment after being laid off, I thought I'd post this handy article I ran into. I hope somebody finds it useful. "Out Of A Job? Applying For Unemployment Is Easier Than You Think"... — read more
New EVP and CHRO has been named
Xerox announced the appointment of Suzan Morno-Wade as the new company executive vice president and chief human resources manager. Was hoping to get some opinions on this move. My take is that this is going to trigger more reductions. With new people... — read more
Hoping this week is layoffs free...
I'm not sure how much more of this constant worrying I can take... I've been trying to find a new job that's close to my current pay grade, but so far I've come up short, which only makes me stress even more... Even a week off from constant worrying... — read more
What is this?
Can somebody explain to me what exactly is meant by the term "technology powerhouse?"
Heard about a big news regarding our CIO
Not sure, heard she has been let go.
December 13 layoffs
I heard from a very reliable source that the IRIF planned for today was delayed two weeks—to Thursday Dec. 13. That is pretty much the last day it could be in order to get it into 2018 (since you get two weeks paid where you don’t have to come into... — read more
