Golden parachute award:
Richard Thoman 3 yrs at Xerox
$800,000 for life and rollover to wife at his passing ..
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
playa please I am so sick of the wolf ticket sellers and the haters on this board. X is cool right now if your under 25 jakes
A BS made up name.
What is project Saturn?
Worst product awards: B8090f, 5046, and anything with HVF
Ooh! Pretty scary with your insinuation about Xerox breaking out of a mu---r’s row of terrible decision making… Let me guess, Tesla has opted to merge with Xerox? No? How about HP being remotely associated with XRX? No?? C’mon! Okay, how about this… Berkshire Hathaway (Warren Buffett) has such a profound respect for Xerox’s business practices, that they are immediately acquiring the seemingly floundering company just to adopt/integrate its culture?? Never. Xerox is the worst, period (literally).
Received some interesting information this morning that will be a game changer in the near future. I cant wait to see how mad the Debbie Downers are going to be. Stay tuned...
Got some interesting information today that will be a game changer for the near future. The little Debbie Downers are going to be so pi---d and I’m going to love it. Stay tuned.
@3zar- Conduent stock is down 70% since the spinoff, and Xerox is down 30%. Doubling down on ACS was the life raft we needed. Genius. You must work in Norwalk.
@3zar - Funny thing is, those GIS hicks are the ones that will be running this place in about 2 weeks. Saturn is coming.
The attempted hostile take over of HP… what a joke. Total waste of time.
Buying Global Imaging was a disaster that kept Xerox in a dying business. The Global talent pool was archaic. Bunch of hicks. Xerox should have doubled down with ACS and exited the copier business.
Maybe I missed it or it was deleted: PC, Windows/Mac type UI, mouse, X could have been the king of personal computing.
Well the fact that you waste your time on this board being "retired" just makes you look more $tupid. You should be hanging with your kids, grandkids, traveling vs this toxic board.
We do have a better job. Its called retirement and having fun, and kissing the ground that the xerox jaunt is over.
Try it you might like it. A Lot….
ACS purchase with Ursula telling the Xerox world how well the transition was going ..
Not even close HCL fundamental poor business decisions . It became shareholder value and nothing about the customer . I think the executive team should be ashamed that they pile drove the backbone of customer contact into the ground.
When they took away Wu Ta-g Wednesdays and Tayor Swift Tuesdays/ Thursdays from us.
@ouk
Biggest Fool award----- the sales dude with most likely slicked back hair, standing at most at 5'6" ", wearing what he thinks is stylish clothes but in reality it's more like douche bag meets borderline loser attire, giving himself daily affirmations by looking in the mirror and chanting to X " you like me, you really really like me"
Don't worry, us creepers will also give you the biggest di--head award too!!!
HCL
Outsourcing parts management
Versant family of products.
Worst leadership: Ursula Burns
Worst Strategic Deuce: $950 million for Tektronix. Whenever xerox opens the war chest they pay heavy artillery bucks for a gym sock filled with pennies.

Worst Product… hmmm an embarrassment of potential bachelorette riches but gotta give the rose to Colorqube 9201 aka the bday candle machine.
Winner of the Creeper Award? Congrats to the collective unit of ex Xerox employees who troll this site daily, yet they still claim they have a “better” job and supposedly so busy making money. Actually let me fix that to the Wah Wah Wah award. 🤡s

I don’t know about any of those, but I hear the ex disgruntled employees won the cry baby award 3 times running. They are the heavy favorite this year as well.
