Topics regarding layoffs at Xerox Corp.

Get Ready to fight for what's yours!

I left Xerox a couple of years ago after nearly 30 years. Happy to be gone. The worst part was once you decide to separate from the company the HR folks who are supposed to help you through the transition do everything they can to deny you from... — read more

Promotion means nothing!

Just a warning to everybody, a friend from work who was promoted less than a year ago was let go as part of this round. He was certain he was safe, so this came as a huge shock to him. It caught him completely unprepared, to say the least. My point... — read more

You're safe for today.

Yours safe for today is the only thing that our managers can tell us which is not much. It sure feels like we are all fish in a barrel waiting to be shot.

No more I didn't hear of vrifs the last couple times. Wouldn't that be cheaper for Xerox?

A dying organisation

Xerox is dying. There are layoffs. The XIM managers are not fit to handle the pressure and making wrong decisions. The competitors are ways ahead in cloud based setups and Xerox is still working to have cloud by 2025. Outdated technologies used to... — read more

Pension changes coming

Do I hear that changes are coming to the pension program this month? Specifically, that if you "leave" the company you will no longer have the option to pull your pension out as a lump sum (and control it yourself)? You will have to take the annuity... — read more

More layoffs to come

Due to legal, fiscal and image reasons, these layoffs re going to be staggered across the next few months; but, I have heard that by early 2019, expect that 20% to 30% of Xerox's current US workforce will be gone by VRIF, IRIF, or simply encouraged... — read more

Please....read and think.

I know we are told 1000000 times a day how "BOOMING" the economy is, stock market all time highs, etc, etc. But folks, the stock market is ALWAYS at an all time high long after the real economy tanks. Every single time it's been that way. And if you... — read more

Where can we go?

I'm among those who have had enough and I'm planning to leave as soon as I find adequate replacement job, but from what I've seen so far it'll be a while. Most of the companies are in the same position as we are. I've checked a few of the boards... — read more

Be Realistic

Look folks, Take a walk down any large Xerox building - say 0111 and note the relative age of the folks there. Most are over 45 years old. Many in their 50's and quite a few looking at 60. If Xerox was to become a new tech "powerhouse," you need to... — read more

Plan for Xerox

I just do not get what the real plan for Xerox is. I know the stuff John V says, but they really have killed the company. Layoffs are going to continue, people that stay are going to be unmotivated. The ones that can, will be looking for work. I... — read more

How did we get here?

Check out the year we got caught with our hands in the cookie jar. Taking all of the contract up front is AGAINST THE SEC RULES. Yet wour spokesperson got on TV and said, "We followed generally accepted accounting practices." Well, we have been... — read more

Average age of laid off employees

What's this round looking like when it comes to age of those who were laid off? Is it once again leaning heavily towards those in the higher age bracket (who also coincidentally have higher pay?)

Once again the best are gone, the worst are left behind. For how long do they think they can do this without visible consequences for the company?

Core Business Neglect

Xerox is in the state it is in due to poor management. While managers were on the covers of different trade magazines collecting all of their accolades, they were putting the company in a bad position. Handing all of their core business over to Fuji... — read more

Non-Existent Corporate Communication

The company is not even bothering to send any sort of communication to employees whose managers were laid off last week. I know a group of employees who are now not reporting to any manager and were thrown in isolation.

Hitting central us sales now - sales and management

This stinks. We were hoping we would be sparred due to previous cuts. The workload is such that it’s impossible to have a life outside of work. With fewer people, it’s hard to come close to satisfy customers, let alone management driving you batty on... — read more
