SB said the deal would be done in June. Tomorrow is July 1st, Not quite sure why anybody believes what this guy says.

With the exception of Monday, the last business day this month, has June been safe from cuts?

No new news here I guess but it really is astounding the utter sh-t show that exists on the ground level and how for about 3 years now we are told how many things are being done to fix the problems and streamline blah blah blah. But NOTHING changes... — read more 

How come the post relating to UK sales team being an old boys club circling DC was deleted? This was posted yesterday.

Appears this is it? The acquisition to be completed in next monthish? Layoffs and redundancy firing to begin immediately or do we think they wait?

The new job doesn’t pay better, but it has one big advantage - they invest in marketable skills, which actually makes you more employable down the line. Finding a job out of Xerox was an extreme pain. Do yourself a favor, invest in yourself and don’t... — read more

How much notice is suffice to give? Do they still not give references?

A month without Xerox and I'm a new man. My sleep improved, my relationships stabilized, and I found a role where I’m valued. I should have been kicked out sooner!

Tino gone! He was only just added to the EC but now has gone and being replaced by someone who doesn’t even work for Xerox (yet, maybe ever?) Pushed or had a better offer elsewhere?

Even at the start of the weekend I'm thinking about work and Sunday nights are pure dread. I'm starting to realize that if a job’s making me this anxious, it’s not worth it. No paycheck even begins to cover that damage.

Many A3 Tigers will be turning their van keys today. They will not be forgotten, and impossible to replace!

SB has said this repeatedly, and it's been in the quarterly filings. When you look at the ownership, it makes no sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexmark The ownership is: Ninestar (formerly Apex Technology): 51% PAG Asia Capital: 43% Legend... — read more 

There is 0% chance this deal gets approved during a trade war. SB knows this and straight up lied during the earnings call when he said he expects the merger to close in Q3/Q4. They've known this since Liberation Day.

Steve B and John Bruno are both in the news for each purchasing $100k in xrx stock. This looks like nothing more than a publicity stunt to make it look like they have enough faith in the reinvention to put their own money where their mouth is.

Anyone heard that ‘some’ people are getting increases….

What's going on?
