Does the xerox vacation policy state anything about accrued and unused vacation?
Ichan and Deason
What do they have up their sleeves ?
Lack of notification from senior management
In the past when we've had RIFs of one sort of another, when it was all done somebody in a senior management position would send a note to the troops explaining the action, telling people we are all done, and to focus on building great products, etc... — read more
Dear upstate NY: Move, people. There is no reason to stay there and be miserable
Very sorry to hear it. This is why I moved out of upstate NY to Texas. The employment market is MUCH better. When you are letting software engineers go in a business that leans on software almost to the exclusion of anything else to do what it does... — read more
I do blame Xerox
The industry has been shrinking for 15 years and all Xerox has done is put future into debt with the failed ACS purchase. Management has known about issue for long time, however short term goals, little to no vision and greed has continued the track... — read more
Don't blame Xerox
Xerox is struggling to compete in a shrinking industry with highly competitive and better-financed companies. Xerox's future is partnering with the independent channel market. Corporate service is lagging well behind industry benchmarks for MFPs. No... — read more
What about this week?
Are we expecting anything? I'd lie if I said I wasn't worried.
What's next, another wave ?
I assume no more for at least a month, at least not in NY, as there is some time period that has to elapse to avoid the NYS WARN rule. Any real data on another round, or just speculation?
If you're a veteran and you get laid off from Xerox, apply for VA Healthcare Benefits...
I got laid off from Xerox about a year ago and suddenly I had no health insurance. Fortunately, a friend of mine, who was also a veteran, told me about the VA Healthcare Benefit Plan. I applied and got it. They cover you like regular insurance, but... — read more
Bridge to retirement
Did Xerox offer a bridge to retirement for those old enough to do so? Either stretching the 12 week severance to 24 weeks, and/or adding in a year of inactive status to meet the retirement target?
When Will Wilsonville Get Hit?
Any news on what's happening in Wilsonville?
Xerox Europe?
Ok, so now it is becoming clearer. We got hammered yesterday (Direct COO) and on the 30th (Non-COO), but what about Xerox Europe? Are they untouched or impacted? Anyone interface with any peers in UK or elsewhere?
Same thing again
Once again we lost some of our best. Why would you lay off people who are basically responsible for keeping this company going by doing the work of two sometimes three people and keep all the freeloaders? Can nobody among management realize what kind... — read more
Cobra Health continuance v ACA
For employees who were laid off or terminated, a healthcare contuance offer is usually mailed to you. Unfortunately, it’s pretty much open market coverage. It was $1,600 per month for my family which put it out of reach for my family. I applied to... — read more
More coming on 8/30
The goal was to have layoffs complete yesterday for organizations reporting to the COO. Next round on 8/30/18 for non-COO organizations. This was posted by @UHXWcod-nzz in another thread as a reply, but I thought it needed to be in its own post so... — read more
Any more layoffs today?
Are we having any more layoffs today or was yesterday it? Since we were never given an official number on how many people were to be laid off in this round, I'm afraid that there still might be more on the list. Does Xerox ever do layoffs on Friday?... — read more
Health Care
For those let go, does your health care stay through the severance, or do you go to cobra or the open market right away?
Big Stock sell Off after hours. Institutional investors must be watching and getting nervous.
Stock up 2.6% during day, then down a huge 4.8% after hours. sellers calling B S on Xerox?!?
Hearing about a lot of highly tenured people being let go!!
Many 10 to 20 year tenured people or even more! The age discrimination act is supposed to protect people over 40 from being targeted due to age.
The writing has been on the wall for two years now
Every sign that a lay off was imminent was present. Working for a low skill r----d of a VP who was verbally abusive in California was the worse. We all deserve better! Too much work and not enough people doing the work. We now are left with managers... — read more
Service personnel layoffs?
Any word on the possibility of service personnel being layed off? At this time the date to keep an eye out for is Aug 30th. Good luck to all. We deserve much better than this.
Given notice that your last day is in the future means...
Please transition your work to your backfill. Totally unacceptable. If you think your manager will give you a good reference and skip over Xerox policy saying they should not comment, then help your manager. If you think they will just refer... — read more
Zerox newest copiers were junk
I was a Xerox technician who was laid off from Xerox about a year ago. The company replaced a long standing, reliable copier series (5100, 5500, 5600, 5800 series) that had the paper flow from the left side of the copier, through the machine, and out... — read more
Many on this board knew it was coming
This is just wave 1 and it’s not done. Perhaps the dingbat(s) who posted earlier that this wasn’t going to happen, and according to their solid sources, were just managers trying to continue to work their employees like dogs. Not sure what is worse... — read more
Why decline to say how many people are being laid off?
In that article Xerox decline to share the number of people who were being laid off. Why is that? What are they trying to hide? It's not as if people can't put two and two together in term of numbers once the dust settles. So why not just come out... — read more
Official Lingo: Restructuring activities as part of the initiative to optimize operations globally!
OMG
Guatemala 25 people were layoff
Mainly finance
I think it's over
Things have settled down here. Two people laid off from my office earlier. Nothing new for the last hour. I think it might be over.
How are you notified?
Is it a phone call, email, one-on-one meeting with manager? Are you given time to pack up your belongings?
No WARN notice in NY
Company leaders did not disclose the amount of jobs affected by the layoffs, but we're told it didn't reach the threshold for a state WARN notice. WARN notices, which are public disclosures, are required when layoffs exceed 250 employees at a single... — read more
Any word on severance for this round?
What does the package look like? Have there been any changes made to severance compared to last time? I'm worried they'll try to save additional money by skimping on proper (or even any) severance. Something like that wouldn't surprise me one bit... — read more
Media coverage already
https://www.whec.com/news/xerox-cutting-jobs-in-webster-other-locations/5032997/ It says that the positions being eliminated include IT software engineers, systems engineers, program managers and associated support as well as finance managers, which... — read more
It has started
It has definitely started, if anybody is still wondering. I'm just trying to figure out how bad it is right now. Do we have any idea on numbers?
Layoffs Comfirmed in Webster NY
This morning, Carl Icahn/John Visentin groom for sale layoff train has started. The total count is not known but includes program managers, IT software & system engineers, support personnel as well as financial managers. This company needs a vision... — read more
Still hoping it's not true
I'm still hoping in vain that today will turn out to be like any other day at Xerox with no layoffs (or at least like most of other days.) Yet here I am on this board at the crack of dawn because I'm that nervous. The stress this company is putting... — read more
I know that your know that I know that you don't know.....
After two long days of watching my manager in closed door meetings with HER manager, she bumped into me in the hallway. I asked her point-blank, "Ok, what's going down?" I got this stammering response and evasive eye contact and forced smile. C'mon... — read more

May 14 90 days
Deason went on Bloomberg TV and said they will look into an auction. In 90 to 120 days . He also said xerox could be a standalone company for a year or two . Carl iccan said we are the worst run company. Even Steve jobs said the same thing . Do you... — read more
Recommendation
I would highly recommend that no matter how secure or successful you think you are, spend some time with your family over the next 2 weeks. EOM
