Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

Current Presidents are glorified sales managers and only focus is on sales. They most likely will be offered a sales role, maybe VP of sales, come that time of changes.

You're an id–t. Presidents left already are only sales managers. Most cores are draws or low salaries for sales. XBS was about 40% on average of Xerox direct. There is zero XBS Sr mgmt and hasn't been in over a year. They've also been laying off under performers since August. Get a life, a degree, or be uncomfortable and go sell.

This is planned out, time calculated strategy. My theory is they need these sales oriented Presidents to continue to sell during all HCL, XBS layoffs and changes, and continue to grow or keep core top line numbers as well as make the reps feel safe and motivated. Once techs are off the XBS budget, all the other departments are consolidated and off shored, then Presidents will be dealt red cards just like XBS Senior VP team received. There is no logical reason why core level Presidents are needed. VP Sales manages core sales, accounting and finance are managed by CFO, operations has managers, all this is numbers that can easily be reported and uploaded to mother Xerox. Don't be surprised to hear more "announcements" or town hall meeting .
