I haven't heard much yet in Webster, has anyone else?

A couple being let go this week, but bigger wave coming within 3 weeks.

Four dozens software guys in XIM shown door today in Xerox India.

Few being canned as we speak. Unreal...

Xerox is in the state it is in due to poor management. While managers were on the covers of different trade magazines collecting all of their accolades, they were putting the company in a bad position. Handing all of their core business over to Fuji... — read more 

The company is not even bothering to send any sort of communication to employees whose managers were laid off last week. I know a group of employees who are now not reporting to any manager and were thrown in isolation.

Most people in sales being let go have over 20 years with company. Xerox wants to cut the tenure. There is no other explanation. Last guy was #1 performer at over 150 percent of plan and regularly made plan. It doesn’t matter how you perform. Good... — read more 

From your buddies at Xerox who manage to screw everything up!

This stinks. We were hoping we would be sparred due to previous cuts. The workload is such that it’s impossible to have a life outside of work. With fewer people, it’s hard to come close to satisfy customers, let alone management driving you batty on... — read more 

Recruiter's Assistants at brick and mortar sites as well as remote (work at home) RAs. I was laid off in August 2017.

No changes to the severance package: Sales: 2 weeks Exempt: 8 weeks Non-Exempt: 8 weeks Executives: 16 weeks Payment: One time, lump sum Extended Benefits: None

Layoffs are happening right now. It's brutal. Cutting to the bone.

They use a third party to try to deny benefits. They also misreport your income and other circumstances to try to save their unemployment premiums. Disgusting. No ethics.

When can we know we are safe?

Some critical Software employees have been let go this morning in Webster 207

I know it's still early, but I'm wondering if there is any news on severance? How bad is the change?

Buckle up everybody, looks like it will be a big one.

When does it usually start? Right away or later in the day?

Who here remembers the time when working at Xerox was fun? When people had each other's backs and when everybody helped other people instead of doing their best to stab them in the back? I do. Those were the good times that make me even sadder when I... — read more 

The anticipation is worse than anything else. I prefer to rip the band-aid right off and I'm like that in everything. In addition, there are so many available jobs out there right now. This can turn out to be the push many of us need to look for a... — read more 

Head IT guy dropped like he was nothing after 18 years in our center. Devestating ... more to come im positive by the feeling in the building, be careful everyone and aware of tomorrow and Friday... lots more to come US and Canada...

For those needing the income, good luck. And for those who are selected to leave, chin up. I hope in a short time, you can make peace with it and move into an even better position for yourself and family.

Seriously people! You are ruining your own health for nothing. Layoffs will either happen tomorrow or not. You worrying about it will change absolutely nothing. Save your nerves for when/if it happens, because you'll need them once you know you are... — read more 

I see a lot of people on here mentioning August 30 layoffs and talking about it like it's a well known fact, but I don't see anything actually confirming it. Am I missing something? How can we know for sure that there will even be layoffs tomorrow?... — read more 

Xerox employees have access to the policy governing these layoffs. Please see the terms under HR Policy 204.3.

Any ideas on what will be hit on Thursday? It would be great to know if my department is on the list and have at least some advance notice to prepare mentally. Working here has become emotionally draining. Just constant worrying, never a minute to... — read more 

Engineering, etc...

Is the 8/30 date just a rumor? How many people have hear something? What organizations will be impacted? Xerox Employees or Contractors most affected? Just thinking about all of this and trying to get work done is STRESSFUL to say the least.

This was taken from the VRIF documentation I was provided. You MUST sign this paperwork to receive the severance. I suspect the exact same wording is in the IRIF documentation. "I release Xerox from any and all claims, even if I don’t know about the... — read more 

With the recent change to the severance policy, is anyone attempting to negotiate more favorable severance terms? Have there been instances of successful results?

No one is immune. Don't think that you are. This will continue actively, and quietly, over the next 8 weeks.

Look at it this way folks. Xerox Webster remains the company's largest global location, with more than 5 million square feet of office, manufacturing, lab and warehouse space. The campus encompasses 600 acres of prime building land and approximately... — read more 

I know a couple of my peers who are currently using their vacation time to interview with other companies - especially competitors of Xerox. Would not be surprised if the number who jump a sinking ship for other companies is MORE than the number of... — read more 

All recruitment/hiring process are on-hold per HQ instructions. Anyone knows how long will this freeze maintain? Have you heard of this as well? This like-wise sums up to the concerning environment.
