Engineering, etc...

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?

No one is immune. Don't think that you are. This will continue actively, and quietly, over the next 8 weeks.

Look at it this way folks. Xerox Webster remains the company's largest global location, with more than 5 million square feet of office, manufacturing, lab and warehouse space. The campus encompasses 600 acres of prime building land and approximately... — read more 

I know a couple of my peers who are currently using their vacation time to interview with other companies - especially competitors of Xerox. Would not be surprised if the number who jump a sinking ship for other companies is MORE than the number of... — read more 

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 ?

In the past when we've had RIFs of one sort of another, when it was all done somebody in a senior management position would send a note to the troops explaining the action, telling people we are all done, and to focus on building great products, etc... — read more 

Very sorry to hear it. This is why I moved out of upstate NY to Texas. The employment market is MUCH better. When you are letting software engineers go in a business that leans on software almost to the exclusion of anything else to do what it does... — read more 

The industry has been shrinking for 15 years and all Xerox has done is put future into debt with the failed ACS purchase. Management has known about issue for long time, however short term goals, little to no vision and greed has continued the track... — read more 

Xerox is struggling to compete in a shrinking industry with highly competitive and better-financed companies. Xerox's future is partnering with the independent channel market. Corporate service is lagging well behind industry benchmarks for MFPs. No... — read more 

Are we expecting anything? I'd lie if I said I wasn't worried.

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?

I got laid off from Xerox about a year ago and suddenly I had no health insurance. Fortunately, a friend of mine, who was also a veteran, told me about the VA Healthcare Benefit Plan. I applied and got it. They cover you like regular insurance, but... — read more 

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?

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?

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 

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 

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 

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 

For those let go, does your health care stay through the severance, or do you go to cobra or the open market right away?

Stock up 2.6% during day, then down a huge 4.8% after hours. sellers calling B S on Xerox?!?

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.

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 

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.

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 

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 

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 

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 

OMG

Mainly finance

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.

Is it a phone call, email, one-on-one meeting with manager? Are you given time to pack up your belongings?

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 

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
