Next month? Next week? Tomorrow?
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
The big picture
Honestly we can all just keep talking about layoffs and the stress of it all. But we all have to be blind . Not to see what the Webster site looks like . (A) downtown Rochester closed . They moved people to Webster then big layoffs. The site is... — read more
No benefits!!!?!
What are you local people doing for health care? Im single and need coverage. I heard COBRA would be like $1,100 per month. I see RightOpt referred to in the handout... anyone have experience with these rates? Hang in there everyone...
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 vrifs?
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 Outdated technologies used to...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
Why are people surprised by layoffs?
Where have you been for the past several years?
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
People will be cut until the company is sold...then
When the company is sold likely in a few pieces, the buyer will decide if they want to keep employees. They are past the point of no return. Imo. Ps it will never be the same.
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
Numbers from yesterday?
Any report on how many people were let go yesterday? It seemed smaller than the last one.
When is the next round?
1 week? 2 weeks? A month? Who is next on the chopping block? How many are leaving voluntarily to the stress?
So, I did not get let go today now what?
I know Xerox is dying a slow death. I didn't get let go today... now what?
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?)
How long can this go on?
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?
2 middle managers in webster in GDG org.
2 middle managers were released today. Excellent, hardworking, very smart team members. This is under GDG org.
Sales Layoff Delays
I am hearing that Majority of sales layoffs are delayed a few weeks due to end of quarter activity. I also heard that Operations will be affected again.
208 and 207 Layoffs
Anyone has more info on 207 and 208
Short notice meetings being set on West Coast now
People see writing on Wall
Where are all of the people who said this wasn’t going to happen today?
8/30 was identified by multiple people, and the last wave as well. I guess some of The doubters are either in denial or are really gullible when they talk to their managers. My thoughts are with the hundreds of people losing their jobs today... — read more
Webster is quiet right now
I haven't heard much yet in Webster, has anyone else?
Operations - Managed Services waves
A couple being let go this week, but bigger wave coming within 3 weeks.
XEROX XIM ~50 laid off
Four dozens software guys in XIM shown door today in Xerox India.
VSE Saint John NB Canada
Few being canned as we speak. Unreal...
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.
Xerox wants to cut the tenure
Most people in sales being let go have over 20 years with company. Xerox wants to cut the tenure. There is no other explanation. Last guy was #1 performer at over 150 percent of plan and regularly made plan. It doesn’t matter how you perform. Good... — read more
Happy Labor Day everyone!
From your buddies at Xerox who manage to screw everything up!

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
Any impact on RAs?
Recruiter's Assistants at brick and mortar sites as well as remote (work at home) RAs. I was laid off in August 2017.
