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

No changes to the severance package: Sales: 2 weeks Exempt: 8 weeks Non-Exempt: 8 weeks Executives: 16 weeks Payment: One time, lump sum Extended Benefits: None

Layoffs are happening right now. It's brutal. Cutting to the bone.

They use a third party to try to deny benefits. They also misreport your income and other circumstances to try to save their unemployment premiums. Disgusting. No ethics.

When can we know we are safe?

Some critical Software employees have been let go this morning in Webster 207

Buckle up everybody, looks like it will be a big one.

When does it usually start? Right away or later in the day?

I see a lot of people on here mentioning August 30 layoffs and talking about it like it's a well known fact, but I don't see anything actually confirming it. Am I missing something? How can we know for sure that there will even be layoffs tomorrow?... — read more

Any ideas on what will be hit on Thursday? It would be great to know if my department is on the list and have at least some advance notice to prepare mentally. Working here has become emotionally draining. Just constant worrying, never a minute to... — read more

Is the 8/30 date just a rumor? How many people have hear something? What organizations will be impacted? Xerox Employees or Contractors most affected? Just thinking about all of this and trying to get work done is STRESSFUL to say the least.

This was taken from the VRIF documentation I was provided. You MUST sign this paperwork to receive the severance. I suspect the exact same wording is in the IRIF documentation. "I release Xerox from any and all claims, even if I don’t know about the... — read more 

With the recent change to the severance policy, is anyone attempting to negotiate more favorable severance terms? Have there been instances of successful results?

All recruitment/hiring process are on-hold per HQ instructions. Anyone knows how long will this freeze maintain? Have you heard of this as well? This like-wise sums up to the concerning environment.

Does the xerox vacation policy state anything about accrued and unused vacation?

What do they have up their sleeves ?

I assume no more for at least a month, at least not in NY, as there is some time period that has to elapse to avoid the NYS WARN rule. Any real data on another round, or just speculation?

Did Xerox offer a bridge to retirement for those old enough to do so? Either stretching the 12 week severance to 24 weeks, and/or adding in a year of inactive status to meet the retirement target?

Any news on what's happening in Wilsonville?
