I don't want to be fired, but I have no intention of going the extra step either. I just do what I have to and that's it. All my extra time is spent looking for something else. And to think I used to love my job.

I didn’t think I was capable of this level of professional apathy. It’s awful and idc.
No pay raises for the past 20 years pretty much did it for me.
@j3 you obviously don’t want to understand anything. You are here for no other purpose than Anarchy, with smart a-s comments free of charge.
If you stay at xerox or leave, regardless, you will never be happy.
@dm you think what I do is going to save this? bahahahahaha. That's too funny...
@g7 The world has changed. xerox has not. Everyone knows what xerox is. They made the decision long ago to go all in on toner. That is the xerox brand. Anything else has been pig lipstick & trying to dig itself out of a mile deep hole: Vader Systems, One Boat, Re-invention, Ai (?), Project Own It / Re-invention aka The Dividend, Tech Powerhouse, F1 sponsorship, Lexmark... Time has revealed the truth about xerox. When people show you who they are, again, again, and AGAIN, believe them. From one perspective 25 years is really commendable but if you still think, "only time will reveal the truth" on xerox? this shows extent to which you've been institutionalized. I hope you are close to retirement. All the best.
You want us to take a bus on an old wooden train bridge? Haha he he @ce
@h9, because sometimes other people have the answer you're looking for. Are you really asking why people ask questions if they don't know something and think someone else might?
Everyone is a genius here, yet everyone is being affected here.
You tell me, if everyone has this cool band calculated, why is everyone here looking for answers ?
Something doesn’t add up. Just realize you Might indeed be wrong.
@a3 Been a Xeroid for over a quarter of a century. I have seen alot of changes in the industry. There was a time that everyone knew what Xerox was, now, not so much. There are still good people at Xerox, but have no voice. It takes leadership with vision and heart, but some believe the company has neither. Only time will reveal the truth.
Find out the hard way then hammer heads. Nobody can tell you anything.
You figure it all out. If you have all
The answers, then ask
Yourself why you are likely out of a job. Flipping Amazing…
Like hogs in a field of mud
More Sausage comments from people
@dm look at the financials. Work as hard as you want. It's done and there is nothing in it for you except having to find a job while unemployed. Pull your head out.
@dv you are right on all points. The irony is that SB says wall street does not matter and they are wrong. For anyone to believe him they should sink on the ship with him.
What about the sausages does anybody care about them ?
Remember your work chums are not just sausages they are real
@dm You describe a cancer that started years ago with a lack of innovative projects. Marketing specifically, but the entire SLT shares the blame, never came up with paths forward that would use the expertise and know how that the experienced employees had. Instead, the SLT, laid many off and let others go through attrition. Even worse, they took the savings without hiring and training new employees. Now, Xerox is incapable of creating a new product and is too big to sustain itself. Reinvention has failed, A cording to Wall Street, the Lexmark merge has failed. What communication is the SLT giving you that makes you believe Xerox has a path forward. This situation is a long time in the making but, Xerox as an entity has crossed the event horizon and cannot be rejuvenated.
@dm Pennies a glass and I control the…sugar?
@dm oh boo hoo. This company is dead. You're trying to keep a boat afloat that's sinking faster than any amount of hard work is going to solve.
All of you, are litteraly the problem within the company right now. To many people getting paid to much money to do little to no work. As if you think your entitled to something more than the paycheck you get every 2 weeks.
Such a shame. People who actually care, who are actually working their butts off, who are trying to keep the boat afloat and fix what needs to be fixed, have to worry about losing their jobs because people like you just free load, complain and drag everyone else down.
same for everyone in the UK since a certain person came back, but at least he’s gone now and we can see how the new structure works
I have been doing that for 5 years!
Time is up people. Grow a set and move on. Pride is worth something too
It’s not all about money. Obviously, as you still work for Xerox, or Lexmark or whatever they have mutated into.
Run out of track? Okay…
Let me point out that you are on a wooden railroad bridge that was built long ago and has not been maintained, over a canyon that drops 2000 feet to the desert floor below.
Honestly, do you think you are in a good position? Help won’t come running over until it’s far too late.
My recommendation is take a bus, or just stay home. It’s a better bet than where you are now.
@OP it's sad isn't it. Alot of us used to be very loyal and committed to the success of Xerox.
What made the change for you? The company or a specific leader? For me it was one leader.
It's ok SB, we all feel the same. Great post though.
Yeah same, I'm just riding this train until we run out of tracks, then gonna retire.
Lexmark?
