I think the endless surgical layoffs and toxic environment are designed to make people quit. Don't fall for it. Make them pay you to leave if that's what they want.
July layoff odds
What do you think the chances are of more cuts happening this month?
The snail continues
We integrating to become more efficient and reduce cost. Don’t matter if you like the decision but tomorrow Xerox supposed to move to Lex CRM platform (a date already slipped) and the date moved again. Jeez. Sales Strategy and Sales Operations (a... — read more
Healthcare services shake up
A reliable source mentioned that there will be a radical shift or shake up in healthcare and managed accounts. Getting rid of lots of dead weight employees and removal of on site techs and managers, as to reallocate them for other purposes... — read more
What is going on with commissions?
It's been since April 1 since I've received a commission check, my boss said we would have plans at the end of April so we could get commissions, then May, then mid-June, and he now admitted he has no idea when plans will be out so that we can get... — read more
IT AS A SERVICE
Anyone know how it’s getting on. Heard it’s not going too well. Taken us back to the 90’s
Another week done
How is everyone doing? Another week done and it feels like we are hamsters on wheels. Same s*** different day. We get a message from Our Chief Revenue Officer about finishing the Q strong - with 2 days to go that’s kinda late. Where he been hanging... — read more
Xerox Share Price
I wonder how long more before the market realizes that the current share price is unsustainable and start to drop to $1+ level? The addition of Lexmark will pull Xerox pre-consolidation price of $2 further down for the debt that is being accumulated. — read more
Fuji Machines?
Does Xerox still put their name on the Fuji machines or is everything Lexmark now?
Stuck with no good options
I got my first offer after six months, but then I read about them and they have the exact same issues we do. There's no point in accepting it and losing my seniority for the same thing. What a depressing situation.
What I think of every time I hear "go to market"

"mixshift" seems like not so much a reinvention after all
This is from 1999 when we saw share prices drop by 24 percent just wondered if they dusted this off from an old set of meeting minutes..it feel awful familiar. "In April, Thoman unveiled a plan to remake Xerox’s image as a technology company... — read more
Going to $8 in August
Q2 is looking good, lots of dead wood out of the door, strategic review going well, new positive investor from Czech Republic, things are looking good……..
June layoffs?
Anyone heard anything? It seems every month there’s a RIF. Or maybe they met this month’s numbers with the VRIF.
Kodak
If Kodak was able to go through bankruptcy and reinvent itself so can Xerox. Just remember, Kodak in its hayday had 145,000 employees, today it has 3,500.
Made me laugh
I was looking at our competitors' pages just to see if everywhere is as bad, and this made me laugh: "This place makes Xerox look like an upgrade in employment." That was posted on Konica Minolta's page. Which barely has any posts. And our board is... — read more
The VRIF selection
It is very depressing as there are some very good people going because they asked to. Why can’t the organization organize themselves to get rid of dead wood instaesd of not creating an environment where talent and good people feel comfortable.

Know your worth to employers
Some employees should carefully review their job descriptions and pay scales using Salary.com, as they may be surprised when leaving their current roles to pursue positions at the local university or state government and receiving reduced... — read more
I’m beginning to think Xerox is not a good company…
Xerox carries over $4.4 billion in total debt against just under $500 million in cash reserves… It seems this is a nonsensical company?
How responsive is the HR “Alumni” team?
Sent an email to them yesterday afternoon with zero response yet aside from the auto generated one. Is this everyone else’s experience?
Enough with the nonesense from certain people.
Enough with the nonesense from certain people. No one wants to hear it anymore, no one wants to participate in it, no one likes you, no one likes your constant negativity, no one likes your entitelment, no one likes your doom and gloom, we are tired... — read more
Today's exchange was largely written by AI.
Anyone who is familiar with the dunces unable to write more than a sentence for themselves recognise the telltale signs. Stuff like repeated use of "It's not X, it's Y". Explains why he says so much, yet there's so little substance. What a joke.
Teammate just left for a 20% pay cut
I didn't realize the layoff stress here was bad enough to make someone leave for less money.
Xerox is doomed not because of financials
As a Xerox investor, I’ve realized some concerning challenges ahead for the company and it’s not on the balance sheet. It feels like the team is focusing on disagreements instead of the big picture, and these conversations remind me a bit of middle... — read more
Eric moving forward
Just saw a post on LinkedIn that was Excited to share my next chapter at Xerox! And then the post went on to share that this person moved into a director role and how they will continue to help Xerox on the transformation journey. What wasn’t said... — read more
Not responding to emails or voice mail production leader

Expect more rain…
Our manager explained to his team leads that the only reason he still has a job is the director knows if he removed the manager he will have to manage the team leads and direct reports. The manager also shared that he owes management a breakdown of... — read more
Sounds familiar?
A toxic workplace is when you're always scared of a pay cut or getting let go. It's when your manager won't stop hovering over every little thing you do. And it's when management rewards the people who tattle on coworkers for the tiniest mistakes... — read more
Travel for some
Even though there no travel for everyone else , no money, LP and CB (costs extra on a plane) went to see that Investor that now has 6% stake in Prague yesterday. Wonder what they talk about? Why could not be done on teams?
Lexington
Layoffs (not volunteers) happened today in Lexington. Per typical Xerox style, no transparency on how many or who's affected. Good luck all.
Good accounting, not necessarily good business.
Investors bid the stock up on short‑term good news (earnings, investor stake, dividend), but the Q1 beat could be misleading because it’s pro‑forma and boosted by Lexmark purchase‑accounting adjustments rather than pure organic profit or cash‑flow... — read more
Where are we on layoffs?
Involuntary ones.
Love how Xeroids are so behind on basic concepts
I absolutely loved todays call and how Xeroids have to be coached on basic concepts as if they are something"New" to drive toward goals and functionality that Lexmark had already been performing and achieved over a decade ago. SMH - I seriously... — read more
How are VRIFs being processed?
Anyone know how the VRIFs are being done? By country//line of business/alphabetically? In Canada and still just waiting after being told it was approved. So frustrating. Why are things moving so slowly.
