Why do we basically give everything to a liquidator instead of marking down items for members to buy? First the buyers over buy just about everything and then all the stuff goes to a liquidator..

Reminder Chapter 11 is not an automatic liquidation of the business. It's not the end of the world, is it a bad situation to be in YES but it's not shut everything down and everyone just goes home.

Will the company that come out of Chapter 11 be different than the one that goes in for sure, will it be what is needed to shed some leadership along with processes, procedures and products that we need to drop to survive hopefully the answer is yes.

Many of us will find new jobs and careers at different employers but at the end of the day Xerox as a brand and company (under a new structure after Chapter 11) will remain.

Many leaders, accountants and lawyers will make some good money off the entire filing of Chapter 11 and the company will come out the other side much leaner. There will be questions on if different services / part of the company is sold off and etc. of course.

At the end of the day.. everyone still at Xerox at this point needs to make sure that there resume, education and skills and/or retirement plans are mapped out. If your still young in the workforce make sure your doing things to make yourself employable by the industry your in not the employer you report to today.
"Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code enables corporations, partnerships, and individuals to reorganize their financial affairs while continuing operations. It provides a structured process to pay creditors over time, often allowing businesses to avoid total liquidation. Key benefits include the "automatic stay" on debt collection and, in many cases, allowing the debtor to remain in control as a "debtor in possession""

Sell sell sell. Crash coming soon. Layoff is not going to save Shi**y I mean Citi

Francesca's, a women's fashion retailer, will close all its stores. The company filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. It plans to liquidate all inventory. Going-out-of-business sales are currently underway. This decision follows a lender default notice and lost investor funding.

Chanel RTW, bags and shoes are pulling out of seven locations, mostly in California. Once the fires flare up, everything is affected. Sales associates are scared of losing job/liquidation/store closing, and they are being left with nothing to sell. Many other brands are expected to follow Chanel and pull out as well. I also heard that a few vendors are threatening to pull out completely from Saks and Neiman Marcus.

Good luck, y’all—get your best résumé ready!

The fact that employees are talking about liquidating their stock at a big loss is a clear indicator of how toxic leadership, lack of innovation, poor marketing, along with Accenture creating long hours and headaches for everyone in Tech has caused good long time and short time folks to give up.
The only people cheering in the all hands are dummies that don’t know any better.
Those of us that have been here know we’re in a concerning spot.
Workplace satisfaction is directly tied to how good your manager is. I’ve never seen so many folks quiet quitting.

Where would you chronic whiners ever find your next job if Targets did.

Are we witnessing the fire sale liquidation of EM?

Here is a simplification for those who may be reading this and are not familiar with how some of these deals work.

TLDR, investors/company’s don’t give a sh-t about you. They only care about one thing. Money.

Someone essentially takes out a loan to buy a company, once they own the company. The person has a lower interest rate. Than the company, because they use the credit rating of the company to determine the interest that they put on the loan that they used to buy the company for themselves. Which gets put on the company’s balance sheet as a loan that the owe the person. Who not only makes a profit off of the interest they charged the company after the loan is payed off. Plus they own the company.

While all of this is happening they essentially strip it for parts (selling off anything that is profitable), cut as much costs as possible to maximize short/medium term profits. Slowly at first. Then faster and faster. Then after they shoved down as much money as they possibly could in their pants they then let the company go bankrupt to the creditors. Which by then is is usually the people who bought the company.

They then use the bankruptcy process to pay as much as the original loan back as they can. With as many fees and surcharges as possible.

When they liquidate this is the normal order that the company owes the money to get paid. (Different in certain states) It goes from

secured creditor (anything backed by assets)

Administrative costs ( the lawyers and all the costs from managing the company in bankruptcy this is a gold mine for them you will also see corporate, spend absurd, money on stupid sh-t that only makes their finances worse which is good because a lot of them at this point are secured creditors)

Priority Unsecured creditors. (supposed to be the workers you get around this though and kick the can to step 4. )

General unsecured creditors Everyone else (even you the worker) except the what is in step 5.

The stock holders aka the retail investors and the money they force you to invest in them through your retirement plan, because all the Whales are gone 99.9% of the time.

So when a company liquidates you could easily lose the wages you have already worked that have not been payed out and you are almost guaranteed to make penny’s on the dollar of what they owe you from your stock, this is very dependable on the debt burdens the company has).
