Anyone contemplating taking a Xerox job in Raleigh / Cary needs to consider some facts.
- Xerox does not respect its Webster IT staff and believes it can replace them with lower cost talent in NC. This should give pause to anyone considering a Xerox IT job, especially those in NC, as future “savings requirements” may make Raleigh the next Webster NY sooner than later. See #2
- The Raleigh move is part of Xerox’s efforts to streamline its operations, which it believes will help it achieve gross savings of $640 million in 2019 and $1.5 billion by 2021. Think about that for a long minute. Look at how many jobs have been axed in IT in 2018 and 2019. Do the math. You would not be moving to a safe secure job.
- The Raleigh move in many ways is screwing over the state of North Carolina, they just don’t know it yet. They think of Xerox as a great company, not as one on its last breath. XRX is using NC tax benefits and employee cost credits to drive down cost per employee. Understandable if sustainable but once NC sees what is happening, that salaries are not as promised, there should be a reckoning.
Excellent points from @10F1QVSb-3vlt. People should really think about this before making any decisions.
