Looks like it’s hostile takeover time again.... https://www.crn.com/slide-shows/managed-services/what-you-need-to-know-about-carl-icahn-s-attempted-board-takeover-of-conduent Sound familiar folks?
This is as good as it gets
I see so many people hating on Xerox, wanting to leave, as if they don't understand the situation is no better anywhere else. All companies are like this. You might get some variations - maybe slightly better pay, slightly better benefits, but when... — read more
Epic Miscalculation
Icahn and his band of mercenaries failed to understand why GIS was successful. It wasn't the Sales Teams, the back office support, the core presidents, the local presence alone. It was the combination of all of these working together to understand... — read more
April 26 JohnV Webcast on Q1 results
This will be a waste of time, numbers will be available on the Web. Anything else he has to say will be what he wants us to believe, which at best is untrustworthy. If he does say anything credible, can always download the webcast later. The JohnV... — read more
Any chances that Xerox gets acquired?
Looks to me that they deliberately transformed into a holding so they could sell the company, bit by bit. Is there an interested potential buyer in the world that could by the whole company. Is a scenario like this even a posibility?
Conduent employees - you're about to have so much fun!
https://www.crn.com/news/channel-programs/ex-conduent-board-member-icahn-takeover-cl Conduent CEO (Ashouk) after the split... Interesting reversal since Icky chose Conduent CEO (Ashouk) after the split. The stock did well for a while, boosted by... — read more
When the financing business is sold...
Will there be layoffs when the financing business is sold? Is so, which jobs won’t transfer to the new owner?
How soon can I start working somewhere else?
I have a new job pretty much lined up, but I don't want to quit if there is a chance I can be laid off in the next few weeks and end up with severance. But my time to accept the offer is ticking away as well, so I'd probably have to start right after... — read more
The people have the power, not the corporation. But too many are cowards to take action.
A mass exodus will cripple the company and Icahn/Deason will lose millions. But the masses at Xerox are spineless cowards and won’t quit. Listen, this is the best job market in recent history. There are great jobs for those who want to work. QUIT you... — read more
Who posted that they were fired today?
in the post "good news from the west coast"-------someone posted that they were badged over April 1st and fired today Were you fired for cause? Do you work for a core? Please provide more info!!!
Technology Powerhouse Looks Like This
When I think about a "Technology Powerhouse" and the research engine that drives innovation, this is NOT IT. Straight from the PARC official YouTube Channel Posted 1 Month Ago: https://youtu.be/-EkNYGMaAAc -A 4min "LiveStream" of an empty lectern... — read more
HCL rebadged employees, check your W4
If you got your paperwork to log into ADP, log in and check your W4 withholdings, we were told it would be uploaded from what we had prior to HCL but it has not been done and we are finding everyone is showing "married with 9 dependents" Not sure if... — read more
Refusing to re-badge
What if a certain employee refuses to re-badge to HCL. Is his fate at Xerox sealed? Does refusing present grounds for an immediate layoff? Is it even legal to lay someone off for refusing to work for a third-party company?
So, is it a surprise that a lot of this talent has left?
From 2016 through early 2018, Xerox brought in some serious talent to help ‘centralize’ and ‘harmonize’ it’s back-office functions, including HR. While there were some global ‘mandates’, such as the new HRIS system as the current systems were a... — read more
Xerox is giving back to our communities
John V sends out an email about Xerox giving back to our communities. Here’s a suggestion buddy, don’t send our freaking jobs to India. Leave them here! Keep these hard working men and women employed in our COMMUNITIES!!!!! What a hypocrite!
So, who is the CTO
So Steve Hoover retired as CTO of Xerox. Who is the CTO now? I thought there would have been an announcement by now
support.xerox.com
Anyone notice products missing, and for those that aren't missing, no download link works. (Drivers, User Guides, firmware). It's been like this for at least 12 hours.
Questionable sales compensation practices
I’ve refrained from commenting on Xerox sales compensation practices in the past for a few reasons namely staff who have struggled with getting raises from Xerox generally don’t want to hear any complaints from a Sales Person about compensation... — read more
You really might see the perfect job float by and it won't hurt to throw something out there
Just sign up for job alerts on Indeed, Glassdoor and Zip Recruiter. I liked Neuvoo too. Sign up for Linked In if you don't already have a profile. Once you get a feel for what else is out there you can throw a few resumes out there. You really might... — read more
What’s ahead in the next chapter of “The Death of Xerox”
There are no new sales to speak of therefore where will funding for severance or keeping RIGP funded above 80% come from? How will they finance the promised increases for anyone left after July 1st? Any available cash has been used to support Icky’s... — read more
XIM CIO Comm Mtg Last Week (XDX CDO Comm Mtg Last Week)
He impressed on us the great importance of the aggressive plans for XDX (XIM). Was I the only one offended that he didn't say one Thank You for all the mess we've been dealing with after layoffs and rebadging to Wipro? I left with the feeling that... — read more
The large amount of labor or workforce still on the books
What is the one component impacting a Xerox sale to another company? The large amount of labor or workforce still on the books. Moving a lot of people to HCL makes it easier for Xerox to divest itself of components to other companies. No bad news for... — read more
Rebadged Hope
Our hopes were high good news was to come on Friday. The news is we have 6 months from April 1st. They will give a 60 day notice of being let go. Severance of one week for every year up to 8 weeks. No more rebadging until 2020. Good news for thise... — read more

Are badgers signing new contracts with HCL?
Or are they just transferred by automatism. How does it even work? If new contracts are being signed could that affect your status in the sense that they offer lower benefits, less pay, worse conditions…. Or are the rebadgers guaranteed to have at... — read more
Cold out?
Must be cold because there are still a lot of snowflakes on here.
Glad I left before the storm hit
I used to work at a local GIS core... I left in the summer. I heard early rumors, but I left because of the TERRIBLE office culture at my core, and the regional management that seemed to be above all rules... This is what I can tell you... I am very... — read more
Commission plans changing
XBS/GIS, Direct and Production (essentially all sales) commission plans changing on July 1. No details out yet. New compensation plan “leadership” in Norwalk Corporate, not in Webster or Tampa
Outsourcing, selloffs, layoffs
That seems to be the content of the vicious circle that is in play at Xerox. In that sense, whoever thought that the HCL situation wasn’t just the beginning of a long and painful process where the company is cutting and restructuring, and basically... — read more
Thinking Xerox will fail because it failed its customers
The long-standing issue with Xerox is that it continuously breaks its promises to customers. For Ex Misses SLA’s, doctors reporting, eliminates the TSG, doesn’t meet bid requirements it agreed to. This is deeply embedded into its culture. It’s for... — read more
Good news or Fake News
Lets see what happens tomorrow. I’m of the opinion that over half of the negative posts on here are from ex-employees or competitors. First positive post I’ve really ever seen was this evening. Better not be fake news!
Good news from the west coast
Sounds like XBS is getting some much needed positive news tonight or tomorrow. Includes good news for those employees who were rebadged. Don’t know all the details, but tenured and trusted leadership just confirmed good news is coming shortly. Light... — read more
Better jobs out there!
I decided to leave my job at my gis core "Michigan office solutions" before things got worse. I received an offer at the first competitor I applied at. Twenty percent more an hour and better benefits --- I accepted. Way better jobs out there!!
Don't let age stop you
I turned 62 in September 2018 and was canned a month later. My full retirement age is 66 years and 4 months. I took the severance and tested the waters with another company. To my delight, they hired me with an 18% increase in salary and benefits to... — read more
What's going on with your call center?
Can other cores / xerox explain the changes (if any) that is going on with your Service call center? Have you merged with other cores? Please go easy on the rumors and just reply with facts.
Is there any future in this industry?
Think we are working in a business that is dying and will, in some time, no longer exist in the for that we know it in. Has the time come to try to seek our fortune in other businesses before it’s too late?
The possibility of expanding the HCL deal?
Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking there is a possibility that, if all goes well that the leadership could expand the size of the original arrangement with HCL, outsourcing some more parts of the company that weren’t intended to be outsourced in the... — read more
What Was The Hit To WIlsonville?
I got out a few years ago. So happy after 30 yrs. But keep thinking about the Tektronix / WIlsonville Group that had it right, then mother Xerox messed it up.... like all prior acquisitions. Are the WIlsonville folks around still... or gone to HCL?
Not the whole picture
This board is very focused on the GIS/XBS events and understandably so in light of the recent HCL transactions. But the Xerox issues, and layoff implications are much broader than XBS. It’s clear that the big picture is hard to grasp, especially when... — read more
