You’re either still here because you're new and have no idea you’re now on a 747 on its way into the ground, retiring soon-and praying you can last long enough to make it out, searching constantly for another employer, or just an id--t and think all... — read more 

How can Steve B still be here when you look at the results (internal) and the stock price (external result) and the trend over last 4 years (consistently down so it is something systematic). I am genuinely asking as to how the dynamics and politics... — read more 

Had a manager briefing call today, and they were very evasive regarding questions about anonymity in regards the survey. The anonymity questions was raised by multiple managers in fact. Tread lightly would be best.

True story. Back in 1998 I had some ideas on how Xerox devices could incorporate features that customers were going to want. These were device wipe, encryption and similar security features. I was able to get these ideas to a product dev team. The... — read more

I've worked with some inept clowns, at some inept companies, but I've never seen people so high up in any organisation, who couldn't organise a four year old's birthday party, until now. You have lost any influence over any staff, aside from the... — read more

Dow? Up. Nasdaq? Up. S&P? Up. Xrx? DOWN 6%... Xerox word salad no longer served with, "headwinds."

Whether it’s true or not that the company must slash 50% of the workforce to survive, the number of employees has always boggled my mind. Where are all these people working, what groups, regions? Now we are 2x after the Lex acquisition, and it is... — read more

I think it’s time for the fed to stop doing business with XRX hopefully putting SB, the EC, and the company out of their respective misery. We have sent so many jobs offshore that there should be a penalty.

the CMO has just put his story in L’In about special alignment sessions in AUSTRALIA - given the travel restrictions, how come he is there and what a coincidence the F1 was there.
