This is about much more than headcount reduction. Get ready to be shocked when you see the changes to our product line up, our expanded partner for equipment manufacturing, and organization to support specific Go-to-Market opportunities by geography... — read more 

Calling Xerox an American Company is laughable.

Since almost every moderately skilled job has been off shored the last few years, it's becoming very clear to the Xerox's bread and butter customers. Our competitors are swooping in like buzzards. Amazing amount of mismanagement from upper... — read more

No point in worrying

We are all spending so much energy worrying over what is going to happen. Worrying now will not change the outcome. It is unfair and disrespectful that we have been kept in the dark for so long now, yet knowing that the big layoffs are coming. But... — read more

Global thoughts?

So apart from the GTM selling orgs, every other function will be global. Can Xerox be really global when the mindset from the US is so insular? Can anyone really see a box sales bloke from an XBS core respecting and aligning to a sales operation... — read more

Your changes are about 1 in 5

If I were in Vegas, or betting on the Super Bowl, and I had about a 1 in 5 chance of wining I would bet BIG $$$$. Since Xerox is my livelihood, and I have a mortgage and three kids in school, I am not feeling so great about a 15% change of losing my... — read more
