Bunch of people in marketing laid off in last few days but it's been selective. Both the digital side and the financial side.
April 1st
Another fiscal year is upon us what will be the announcements…
Status of Ricoh
Any new rumors or anything that’s going on with RICOH? I am a long time employee and there’s never been such silence, slow product releases, and lack of senior management interaction.
Japan
Hi I’m here to connect your mfp @remote to Japan. Won’t take long.
Who is in charge of this?
Incredible what Ricoh sticks on the fridge. Sandwiched between Lexmark and Xerox... so very press release worthy. So very useless. https://www.ricoh.com/info/2025/1215_1
Tech
My service position was eliminated after 37 1/2 years! I was planning on retiring in a few years, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise! I landed a great job that respected my field service experience with far better pay! I wished Ricoh had laid... — read more
Should we expect more layoffs?
Some people are mentioning December, any truth to that?
Sales Just Got Hit
Sales division just got a mass layoff - anyone below a certain point. Heavily hitting commercial as government is still putting up good numbers.
Company outlook
Does anyone truly know what this company‘s plan is as a long-term employee? I question this myself. There seems to be no career path no talk about company status. Very slow at releasing new equipment very poor at supporting direct operations. It just... — read more
Dealer Meeting
Who else finds it shameful and offensive to employees that Ricoh has can spend millions on a useless Dealer meeting in Nashville (following Printing United) amid a freeze on merit increases and rolling layoffs? Who are they kidding?... Most of what... — read more
Hiring freeze?
Since our raises were put on hold, it would seem logical that hiring would be put on pause too?
End of Q1 upon us... will heads start rolling?
With end of Q1 upon us, wondering if there have been any rumblings on layoffs or staff reductions given our terrible financial performance?
Raises
Hello is anyone heard if RICOH will be giving raises this year? They have completely fallen off track with the cost of living and they need to do something to retain the workers that they have left.

Awful quiet
Not sure what’s happening behind the scenes again, but everybody knows that once management and senior leader leadership gets quiet that can only mean one more thing. Brace yourself for the unknown.
Does anyone know what they are doing?
Seems backward & outdated to put anything on paper & shuffle it around the room.
More layoffs around the corner...
Expect to hear some news very soon about more layoffs - if not beginning of June, probably early July - based on rumors and recent trends at Ricoh.
Found out about this layoff forum after being terminated today
I basically started earlier last week, near the end of the month. Was basically in training for a week, but suddenly got called in to say I was terminated and laid off. I have no idea what I did, I didn't even have anything set up and my email wasn't... — read more

Ricoh US was doomed for failure.
As a ‘career’ Ricoh employee of nearly 30 years, I witnessed intelligent well spoken colleagues that added value to the company laid off while opinionated pretenders cloaked in the success of others remained on payroll. Ricoh US is a ‘good old boy’s... — read more
I consider the layoffs to be of the rolling variety at this point
I don’t even pay attention anymore when a new round is announced or happening. I’ve just accepted that I could be out of a job any day. Instead, I’ve been focusing on finding other opportunities. I’ve been updating in-demand skills, staying active... — read more
We need layoffs
At least 50% of middle managers should go. They do nothing but waste time in meetings, repeating the same points over and over. There is plenty of fat to cut here, but the problem is that it is never the real fat that gets cut. Instead, it is the... — read more
Is this how things usually are?
I'm new to Ricoh. I started in January and I've already been through two rounds of layoffs. I know no company is immune, but honestly, this is ridiculous. I did my due diligence, and nowhere did I see anything about layoffs happening this frequently... — read more
No real avenues for advancement
It’s not that I’m wildly ambitious, but it’s easy to get stuck in the same role forever. And then just end up laid off. It’s demotivating, to say the least.
More layoffs - when will it end?
Just when we thought the layoffs would cease after the latest round in April, I heard several more people were let go today. When will this stop?

I'm indifferent to the possibility of being laid off
I started looking for another job a while ago. I don’t see a future for myself here. What I see is a shrinking business with clueless leadership, making cut after cut until there's nothing left. If I find something better, I’ll leave. If not, I’ll... — read more
So much for job security
We went from having layoffs occasionally to almost every other month in the blink of an eye. I’m not usually an alarmist, but I think this is a clear sign of what’s coming, and none of it looks good. It’s hard not to feel like we’re just waiting our... — read more
This is not what "toxic workplace" mean
Let’s be real, since when did "hey, can you fix this report?" become "verbal abuse"? At Ricoh (and let’s be honest, everywhere else), managers are now expected to hand-hold through basic tasks like it’s kindergarten. If you try to actually hold... — read more
Junk
they’re still out there selling the same junkie equipment with inherent problems year in and year out no wonder their decline is so sudden . We had so many problems at our company with their equipment. We had to kick them out and get another... — read more
Happening Again
More layoffs today (4/2/25) are being announced
What happened with Evolv?
Does anyone know why we aren't servicing them anymore?
New round of layoffs
Has anybody heard which groups are going be laid off this round? I've heard they're going to start thinning the herd this week so they can start the new fiscal year leaner.
Fulfillment Gap? Wuh-Wuhhh?
Totally laughable. Ricoh preaching to other companies about how to HR is amazing! This was gleaned via worst practices? Thanks Ricoh but think I’ll stick with findings in Dollar General’s HR... — read more
Status of business
What’s going on in this company? It seems like they have dramatically. Scaled back direct operations for service. From what I hear the prices still remain some of the highest but failed to have enough people to fix products. Are there any big changes... — read more
