Thread regarding Xerox Corp. layoffs

As a current long term employee I will say there is not one dull moment in this business these days. The daily misfires and malfunctions from the top down are absolutely astounding to experience. The decisions having to be made by unguided middle management and those in field from worthless executives are unbelievable when all that’s ever provided for them are shells of an operating process at the last minute at 100 MPH operating speed. Then expectation to get in front of and inform their team or customer and “fill in the blanks” like dancing clowns while the execs supposedly hash out the details behind the scenes. This leads to ground level situations from sales, service, and support staff that would be absolutely comical if they weren’t so sad and degrading for everyone involved. I’m by no means disgruntled or have an axe to grind with Xerox-I choose to be here every day and generally enjoy my role-just miss the “good old days” and when the “customer experience” actually mattered and wasn’t just an bullet point or afterthought and we truly had a vision for focus on real innovation. At one point this place was unstoppable and still has the talented people to be so if they had clear direction. The majority of the folks here remember too and much of the “hate” for Xerox on this site is coming from a place of love and respect that has somehow been syphoned from this group in one way or another over time by those that should have cared the most.
