Vacation policy?

Does the xerox vacation policy state anything about accrued and unused vacation?

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

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'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?

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?

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?

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.

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

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

Still hoping it's not true

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
