My coworker in Norwalk just overheard a couple of Indian guys saying they 'finally' (their own words) signed the contract. A multimillion dollar contract that will transfer to HCL over 6000 employees from around the world for restructuring purposes.
HCL is a very well known outsourcing company based in India but bad reputation precedes them here in the US
I bet that is what they will be announcing on Tuesday
Any truth to this? Has anyone heard anything about this?
If true that allows Xerox to wash their hands
of another large group of employees.After a designated time all responsibility falls on HCL
as to lay-off and compensation.
Welcome to Xerox, where 95% of the support is from India or Guatemala. Yes, Its getting worse. Gave over a decade to this company only for them to strip away all of our local service and customer support. I watched lots of good workers/people get the boot because of the new Xerox direction. Customers can't get answers, their sales reps cant get answers, managers cant get answers. Stripping away 401K programs and other benefits. 95% of customer support is no longer USA based so good luck in connecting with someone that knows how to read the systems to support you. the good people that are left are being mistreated by the amount of work that is expected from the cut backs, in addition to covid cutbacks on top of it.
Unfortunately Xerox as we remember it us gone. Engineering is outsourced to HCL, much of the manufacturing is either Flextronics in Malaysia of FX in China. Severance packages are just about gone get another job, leave NY state if necessary. Take your pension (CASH OUT). 30 + YEAR career as a xerox enginneer and 1 year engineer with HCL.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
HCL, TCS, INFOSYS, WIPRO< ATOS SYNTEL and thousands Indian company invaders are taking away US JOBS. They are Just as bad as China taking away our jobs and technical know-how. Our US Citizen are being laid off and their jobs are shipped to India. HCL and all other Indian companies are nothing less than Information Technologies SPIES and we need to treat them that way. Our Computer Science Graduates in the US are unable to find a job because they are competing with $10000 to $20000 Indian counterparts. REBEL AMERICA REBEL!!! XEROX used to be the shining start of technologies especially in their PARC technology center in Palo Alto. They are GONE so do other big six consulting US firms. Microsoft and Accenture new jobs are all in India. Boycott all companies who ship our US job to INDIAN BRAIN. THIS IS TECHNOLOGY SPYING AT BEST! XEROX 6000 FTE JOBS are gone so do 6 millions american jobs for that past 20 years. BE ACTIVE AND REBELL NOW.
XEROX's once vaunted tiger team technical support has been watered down for the last 5 years and now a majority of them are being "rebadged" to HCL which means they will be laid off in the near future un 1 to 2 years. Xerox does not look like the evil company by laying these folks off in rochester ny
HCL is an International $9 Billion/year in revenue organization. They offer many services. Previously, Xerox contracted engineering services with HCL. Today, HCL will be used as a "Shared Services Center" for handling day-to-day processing of administrative tasks.
It could be that this is a different sub-contract with HCL. It's possible this contract is for service technicians and the engineering portion of the contract stays the same or goes away. If the company is broken up (which looks likely), a decision on engineering may come later, as some of those jobs would be needed for production products as well as integration work on other products.
I thought we were getting rid of hcl. Guess my source was incorrect. There has been no significant architecture hardware changes to A3 in over a decade. At least for the better. And it wasn't good to start with.
True story
Yes!!! There is a webinar on Tuesday.
Remember that Xerox transferred a lot of development to HCL in 2011 and annual statements of work with budgets have to be agreed and signed off. Could be business as usual (the signoff is often late) or could be something else.
Any idea on what organizations would be moved?
Wouldn’t surprise anyone as the rumor has been floating around.
