Christmas gift
Is there a better Christmas gift than getting a new offer and finally leaving this ridiculous place? X-X Marry Christmas everyone!

They don't have anyone to cut anymore
This is a declining industry in general, but I think better leadership could've achieved much more despite the decline. They relied mostly on cuts. My team is now desperately missing more people because those of us who are still here are... — read more

Stock plan
Xerox is now changing their stock plan. Instead of regular common stock. They are now investing in being a Laughing stock. If it wasn’t so serious, I would laugh.
Vaccine Mandate Blocked
Anyone hear how X is going to handle the federal contractor mandate getting blocked?
They can't fill the positions
People are leaving to such an extent that I would be very, very worried about making any decisions in this company, especially because there is obviously a problem to fill certain positions. No one wants to work at Xerox except those who really... — read more

Xerox …Final Days.
Like the post says, it’s only a matter of time. Like a Garage sales last day where everything is reduced, or given to goodwill. What a tax write off.
Unrealistic goals
X is a toxic place, hard work is not valued, but... To be fair, many exaggerate when they say that the company sets unrealistic goals in front of employees. That's my opinion. I have a colleague to whom everything is an ‘unrealistic goal’, the... — read more

Is it gone forever?
People never learn the truth.
It’s very evident that people never really learn the truth about xerox. They buy because they know the name xerox, but the equipment is no where near the quality or construction that it used to be. They are bamboozled by sales people, promising the... — read more
