Don't just sign up for the volunteer irif, speak to a laywer first. There are plenty of lawyers that offer free advice, even online.
If you sign up for something like this, you could miss out on benefits you would normally receive if you were irif'd involuntarily, including unemployment.
Xerox, or any business, is never looking out for you. Assume this smells just like anything else they do.
I've never seen so many angry c-suite yes men in one post before being mad at people for not just drinking the koolaid
@ae Downvote factual statements much? LOL.
@ae As of October 1, 2025, New York increased the maximum weekly unemployment benefit by 72%, rising from $504 to $869.
Really, lawyer? This is a simple and minor situation. Grow up and take some anti paranoid meds.
I was offered a VRIF in 2019 that I did not accept. Months later, I was IRIFed. That may or may not be how it works today. I was rehired in 2023 and now await the next action.
We all had to sign that we wouldn't sue Xerox a couple years ago. Not sure how far anyone would get with an attorney when we all agreed to a non-court mediator. ALL that said, severance su-ks and could go down
The person who posted this is clearly uneducated because an educated person wouldn’t post this non-sense.
This whole site makes me chuckle! 😂😂😂😂
@OP If you're thinking of leaving anyway and have some time in the company, severance is likely worth more than unemployment. If volunteering gets better severance now, than less or none later, that makes it the thing to do.
Or, as time goes by, severance can be reduced.
