30 years, 23 different managers. What a great outfit that is now a total train wreck. They don’t have a clue. If you aren’t old enough to retire, get yourself on the market; sure, you don’t want to get laid off, but there’s nothing to stay for. Get... — read more

My time at Xerox
I spent 20 years with Xerox as a CSE. Then 2 Years with Xerox as a RSS. I was able to transition to a RSS because Xerox was replacing all the CSE's in my area with 3rd party contractors. When my dad died in 2001 I felt the support of everyone at... — read more
Tirds left behind
It’s really a shame. After decades with Xerox, I’ve had dozens of managers. The key message is that the Xerox culture, kept the tirds and the good decent hard working managers moved on.
