I thought I would have to stay here for a long time because I'm not very marketable. I spent months looking for a new job but it finally paid off. I'm a little euphoric because I'll have a 20 percent higher pay. I say this only as advice to those... — read more 

I am totally drained after all these meetings where nothing new is said or done. An awful lot of time is wasted every month on meetings without clear set of objectives and goals. Anyone else feel like it's a pointless waste of time and energy?

JV wants us to accelerate it. Can we define what it is first?

The daily beatings continue. It is clear that those of us that continue to tolerate the vitriol that spews from the mouths of this company's most senior leaders have issues. On a daily basis those of us that interact with the likes of JCS, MM, TK... — read more 

The new way to deal with Xerox pathetic supply chain issues is to brow beat the logistics managers on a daily basis. SA and team work over the ops people every bleeping day. Even JCS has weekly mtgs with these folks. The floggings will continue... — read more 

Employees are no longer treated as humans but like robots. We are overworked and severely underpaid. They expect us to do everything while paying us the bare minimum - and they'd avoid that as well if they only could. I am at the point where I... — read more 

I can't think of a company that could possibly buy Xerox. Can you?

Up 100 people from 4Q 2021 (23,300). I find this curious, knowing there have been layoffs recently in Webster. Must have occurred in April and we will see the results in the 2Q Earnings Summary.

The fact is companies have a tendency to lowball unemployed applicants. They are always more likely to accept an offer that is far from ideal than those who still have a job. Do yourself a favor and don't put yourself in the position of having to job... — read more 

There are a lot of smart people who left after their work here was made difficult just because they made it clear that they didn't agree with the manager's philosophy. Here, "good" employees are only those who say what management wants to hear... — read more 

It's been a while, at least in Xerox's terms...

If you want a peek into Carls plan for Xerox. Carl now owns 21.9% of outstanding Xerox shares as part of a nearly $900 million investment, according to the schedule 13d addendum filed with the SEC on April 22, 2022. Why is this important? Xerox... — read more 

I am so annoyed by the culture of secrecy at Xerox. Management seems to think it is perfectly fine to leave employees out of the loop. I believe there are many who have left Xerox for this very reason. Don't we deserve at least a little more... — read more

The last time I visited this forum was four months ago, when I gave notice. Since then, I have been contacted by almost 10 old colleagues with a question about how I am doing in my new company and whether it is worth staying here. I'm always a... — read more 

If you work for or support XBS you need to leave now. You will be out of a job in the very near future. Get out while the gettins good.

Xerox is at the stage where having a massive round of layoffs like we used to have for years is no longer feasible. Doing so would cripple the company's ability to do anything, and even our leadership isn't stupid enough to do that. What we will be... — read more 

It's done. Kaput. Soon to cease being a going concern. Lump sum option will soon be a thing of the past. Grab a life jacket and jump before you get pulled under.

Revenue and profit are down but shareholders (Carl Icahn) gets 50% of free cash flow. No mention of reinvesting in the company.

There don't seem to be any new rumors about layoffs. Does this mean that there won't be any cuts soon?

Net-net most of you are roughly wrong sticking it out with all the pain points here. You need to get lazer focused and lean in. Think outside of the box and get that game plan together, so you can hit the ground running and start moving the needle... — read more 

It seems that many Xerox people who quit are getting big pensions. I've been told that pensions range from $2,000-$6000 monthly or taking a lump sum is also possible. Who has more details?

Anyone know why John V lost so much weight? Just dieting or is he sick?

If someone can't find a new job now, they either don't try very hard at all or they don't have any skills at all. I don’t know anyone who was serious about looking for a job that didn't get an offer. Now is the best time to find a new job. There is... — read more 

If you got a chance to talk to JV about the way he runs the company, what would you tell him? What things and processes would you change or remove and what would you add? Big or small? I know many here think Xerox is beyond saving but I still believe... — read more 

Is the union going to strike?

I started a couple of years after C. Peter McColough, who was after Joe Wilson who created a world class culture. I met David Kearns once at a company picnic, nice man, but he really led through the first decline. Allaire and his henchmen were... — read more 

Given all the bad moves of our leadership, it really surprises me that X is not in even worse shape than it is. Sheer luck. What would you say how close is X is to the ultimate failure and rock bottom?

We had someone who was here for 4 years. First raise. For one day on this check.. I believe they are going to purchase some Kraft mac and cheese. Nevermind, not enough. Good luck to all of you.

We obviously were shipping items, supporting Russian Xerox accounts with Russian employees. We have stopped shipping things to them and essentially doing business there. How much will that cost, between no revenue coming in from an entire country... — read more

Sippy cups for everyone!

HP is buying Poly for 3 billion. Xerox’s market cap is around 3 billion. Hmmm. Looks like HP so very much not interested in xerox. Cash better spent elsewhere. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3654838/hp-to-acquire-poly-for-3-3b.amp.html — read more
