Effects of a pandemic on accelerating transformation
I thought the situation here would be much better after things start to somehow get back to normal with the vaccine and reopenings. But no! I wonder how much you think the pandemic has accelerated Xerox's digital transformation? Can the company... — read more
When is the vaccination mandate going to start?
I'm hoping senior management makes some statement soon to mandate the vaccination, to keep those employees who work closely safe. It's ridiculous it's not in place yet.

I'm Happy Xerox Took Over GIS!
Ever since Xerox took over GIS/XBS my work has been so much easier. I work in the warehouse. Before the takeover, local management expected me to go WAY above and beyond. Now, when those same managers ask me to do something, I say: 1. I no longer... — read more
Is It Just Me?
Is it just me, or do 20% of Xerox employees do 80% of the work? I'm just asking because in my department, we have guys who disappear/leave early, etc. while the rest of us pick up the slack. One of my coworkers is notorious for saying, "Go ask Joe... — read more
New statutory holiday for Canada on Sept 30.. Xerox Canada not participating?
Anyone know if Xerox Canada plans to give employees the September 30 new statutory holiday as a day off (National Day for Truth and Reconciliation) or are they showing their real colors here and lack of interest in indigenous issues which they have... — read more
Time to wake up
Xerox sold everyone’s soul to the devil. 👹 Nothing shocks me about how corrupt this company has become. I left on my own terms, not waiting to be sacrificed. Customers need to wake up as they are being neglected Bigtime. Time to wake up and Not get... — read more
Does the management even care?
People are getting burned out and completely disengaged. It's like I'm surrounded by robots and not human beings. Morale is as low as it can get and it seems like nobody cares. People are simply going through the motions, that's it. It scares me... — read more
Parts, How are we supposed to fix it if we can't get them???
Parts is a mess. Long gone are the days where you could order a part and actually get it the next day. Now when you order a part, it processes the next day and then ships out usually on the 3rd day if you're lucky. Everything is on back order.. — read more

Sales threatened with loss of their job if they don't sell
If you thought machines were sold into the wrong environments in the past, just wait! Salespeople are now being told what to sell, and are being told if they don't close the sale they risk losing their job. Ethics is out the window. They will lie... — read more
New Xerox philosophy - Just show up!
Xerox is implementing a new service philosophy, just show up! The idea is to train everyone on everything with the goal of having a tech just show up at an account just to stop the clock. Management doesn't care if the tech has the skill or the parts... — read more
What a surprise…
Technicians are slammed with calls. 15 calls a day. No time to do what’s needed on the equipment. Robbing Peter to pay Paul. This place deserves an award for the most amount of fire drills in a customer support situation. If you think this is... — read more
Verbal abuse
How often do you experience verbal abuse here? I used to work for a company that had maybe even more problems than Xerox, but I never experienced verbal abuse there. That is unacceptable. Since I know that no one protects the employees here and that... — read more
Who has the better chance of being laid off?
Old-timers or new employees?
Xerox HR is a joke.
Calling xerox HR is such a joke. You can’t understand what they are saying as they are outsourced somewhere and on speakerphone likely from home. Good luck to anyone trying to get a legible straight answer from this setup. Feel like I am calling the... — read more

Every month is a layoff month
No job is safe, but does every month have to be a layoff month at Xerox? I constantly have to worry about what will happen next month. How do they expect people to be motivated and do their best if they know that they can be shown the door at any... — read more
I used to think I'd be retiring from Xerox
Now I'm happy if I still have a job the following week.
Why those of us who left still visit this forum
Why do those that have left continue to come here? I can tell you why I do - I loved my my job, coworkers, all my mangers through my tenure 20+ years (yes, I was quite lucky), and my customers. It was fun working on very complicated problems and... — read more

Xerox shafting the Service Reps again

I'm surprised we are doing as well as we are
Considering everything, this ship should have sunk long ago. I'm not really sure how it's still holding on, but I'll be enjoying it and picking up my pay for the minimum amount of work for as long as I can. It's not as if Xerox deserves more from any... — read more

Are you satisfied with the skills you developed here?
