Ok, so now it is becoming clearer. We got hammered yesterday (Direct COO) and on the 30th (Non-COO), but what about Xerox Europe? Are they untouched or impacted? Anyone interface with any peers in UK or elsewhere?
Same thing again
Once again we lost some of our best. Why would you lay off people who are basically responsible for keeping this company going by doing the work of two sometimes three people and keep all the freeloaders? Can nobody among management realize what kind... — read more
Cobra Health continuance v ACA
For employees who were laid off or terminated, a healthcare contuance offer is usually mailed to you. Unfortunately, it’s pretty much open market coverage. It was $1,600 per month for my family which put it out of reach for my family. I applied to... — read more
More coming on 8/30
The goal was to have layoffs complete yesterday for organizations reporting to the COO. Next round on 8/30/18 for non-COO organizations. This was posted by @UHXWcod-nzz in another thread as a reply, but I thought it needed to be in its own post so... — read more
Any more layoffs today?
Are we having any more layoffs today or was yesterday it? Since we were never given an official number on how many people were to be laid off in this round, I'm afraid that there still might be more on the list. Does Xerox ever do layoffs on Friday?... — read more
Health Care
For those let go, does your health care stay through the severance, or do you go to cobra or the open market right away?
Big Stock sell Off after hours. Institutional investors must be watching and getting nervous.
Stock up 2.6% during day, then down a huge 4.8% after hours. sellers calling B S on Xerox?!?
Hearing about a lot of highly tenured people being let go!!
Many 10 to 20 year tenured people or even more! The age discrimination act is supposed to protect people over 40 from being targeted due to age.
The writing has been on the wall for two years now
Every sign that a lay off was imminent was present. Working for a low skill r----d of a VP who was verbally abusive in California was the worse. We all deserve better! Too much work and not enough people doing the work. We now are left with managers... — read more
Service personnel layoffs?
Any word on the possibility of service personnel being layed off? At this time the date to keep an eye out for is Aug 30th. Good luck to all. We deserve much better than this.
Given notice that your last day is in the future means...
Please transition your work to your backfill. Totally unacceptable. If you think your manager will give you a good reference and skip over Xerox policy saying they should not comment, then help your manager. If you think they will just refer... — read more
Zerox newest copiers were junk
I was a Xerox technician who was laid off from Xerox about a year ago. The company replaced a long standing, reliable copier series (5100, 5500, 5600, 5800 series) that had the paper flow from the left side of the copier, through the machine, and out... — read more
Many on this board knew it was coming
This is just wave 1 and it’s not done. Perhaps the dingbat(s) who posted earlier that this wasn’t going to happen, and according to their solid sources, were just managers trying to continue to work their employees like dogs. Not sure what is worse... — read more
Why decline to say how many people are being laid off?
In that article Xerox decline to share the number of people who were being laid off. Why is that? What are they trying to hide? It's not as if people can't put two and two together in term of numbers once the dust settles. So why not just come out... — read more
Official Lingo: Restructuring activities as part of the initiative to optimize operations globally!
OMG
Guatemala 25 people were layoff
Mainly finance
I think it's over
Things have settled down here. Two people laid off from my office earlier. Nothing new for the last hour. I think it might be over.
How are you notified?
Is it a phone call, email, one-on-one meeting with manager? Are you given time to pack up your belongings?
No WARN notice in NY
Company leaders did not disclose the amount of jobs affected by the layoffs, but we're told it didn't reach the threshold for a state WARN notice. WARN notices, which are public disclosures, are required when layoffs exceed 250 employees at a single... — read more
Any word on severance for this round?
What does the package look like? Have there been any changes made to severance compared to last time? I'm worried they'll try to save additional money by skimping on proper (or even any) severance. Something like that wouldn't surprise me one bit... — read more

It has definitely started, if anybody is still wondering. I'm just trying to figure out how bad it is right now. Do we have any idea on numbers?

Still hoping it's not true
I'm still hoping in vain that today will turn out to be like any other day at Xerox with no layoffs (or at least like most of other days.) Yet here I am on this board at the crack of dawn because I'm that nervous. The stress this company is putting... — read more
I know that your know that I know that you don't know.....

Class action lawsuit anyone?
The average employer match is about 50 cents on the dollar for the first 6% of pay according to a 2009 study by Hewitt. If an employer decides to suspend its 401(k) match based on this average, it could save about $1,500 per employee each a year. A... — read more
Any Legal Recourse
