Topics regarding layoffs at Xerox Corp.

July 11

The cuts this morning have started. Not a good way to start the week.

Experience gained

I am one of those who stayed here too long. It's my own fault that I'm stuck here. In general, do you think that you have gained a lot of valuable experience here?

CareAR IRIF??

I heard there was a big layoff within CareAR. any truth?

looking 4 rumors - who has one?

looking to consolidate rumors to see if any have legs. who's buying us? who's merging with who? what divisions are getting downsized? share rumors you have heard about and when they are supposed to occur.

Sinking at a fast pace

Basically, I'm more concerned about myself and how to find a new job, but still I often wonder if anything can save Xerox?

It's all about greed

Xerox could have done so much better in the past decade if we didn't have leaders that put greed ahead of everything else. There is so much potential here that great leadership would know what to do with but this group only keeps wasting it. Decades... — read more 

I'm still here because I was taught never to quit

If you quit, you're a failure. That was instilled in me since I was born and for decades later. Now I'm stuck in this horrible company that has no future but I can't get out of the frame of mind that quitting would be admitting defeat. I pray to be... — read more 

I'm worried about the future

Think about it, whoever is chosen to be the new CEO will want to make an impression from the start. The easiest way to do that is to cut costs, and the easiest way to do that is through layoffs. I think we'll be looking at major cuts no matter who... — read more 

Shhhhh….

The silence is deafening today here in Webster. Last day of the Q, last of the mystery meetings to lay people off….and the passing of JV.

JV's replacement

I'm assuming SB is not going to remain as his permanent replacement in the CEO position. I'm trying to figure out who they can put at the helm of the company for the long term and to be honest, I can't think of anybody who could pull the company from... — read more

JV

It’s official J.V died at age 58.

Leave & then bring your friends with you!

I was fortunate to leave to a growing industry. I am currently in the process of hiring the smartest one in our group when i left. I feel so good that this smart fellow may also now have a new start in a better industry with a better, well, with a... — read more 

Typical Xerox mentality

I find it funny whenever someone mentions typical Xerox mentality in a pejorative sense, as if they don’t even work here. Could you please define, what exactly is the typical mentality at X?

No reason to stay

I got a decent offer last week and while I was weighing it against my current job, I couldn't find one reason to stay at Xerox, other than that pay at the new position is slightly lower (single-digit lower, nothing drastic). I'm trying to figure out... — read more 

Let me see if I got this right

Yes, there were layoffs last week. No, they were not 10 percent as some predicted nor anywhere near that. In essence, just another normal week at Xerox. I don't understand why people get worked up over stuff like this anymore since it's part of the... — read more 

I still like working at Xerox

I'm constantly worried about more cuts but other than that, this is not as bad of a job as some are saying. I might be one of the lucky ones since I have a great team and a great manager, who knows, but I would be devastated if I was laid off. I wish... — read more 

Cuts starting tomorrow

Heard from VP that more cuts to come. All aspects starting with on site associates, sales, technical services etc. Wiping out the road for Q2 earnings.

Lessons we can learn from our competition

Xerox is in much more trouble than any of our competitors, that's a fact. What is it that they're doing right that we're doing wrong? Is there anything we could take from their playbook that could be used to help us? There's gotta be something... — read more 

Xerox's downfall will be a self-fulfilling prophecy

A lot of people (including the majority of talent) believe Xerox has no future so they leave. They spread the word that Xerox is done for so very few of those who know what they're doing want to join. With high attrition and no backfilling, those who... — read more 

What does merging look like?

For those of you that have merged in XBS to consolidated cores. What does that look like, are there major changes? The rumors seem to be true that XBS will be merging with Xerox direct at some point in the next 12 months. Any ideas what that will... — read more
