Technology Powerhouse Looks Like This
When I think about a "Technology Powerhouse" and the research engine that drives innovation, this is NOT IT. Straight from the PARC official YouTube Channel Posted 1 Month Ago: https://youtu.be/-EkNYGMaAAc -A 4min "LiveStream" of an empty lectern... — read more
HCL rebadged employees, check your W4
If you got your paperwork to log into ADP, log in and check your W4 withholdings, we were told it would be uploaded from what we had prior to HCL but it has not been done and we are finding everyone is showing "married with 9 dependents" Not sure if... — read more
Refusing to re-badge
What if a certain employee refuses to re-badge to HCL. Is his fate at Xerox sealed? Does refusing present grounds for an immediate layoff? Is it even legal to lay someone off for refusing to work for a third-party company?
So, is it a surprise that a lot of this talent has left?
From 2016 through early 2018, Xerox brought in some serious talent to help ‘centralize’ and ‘harmonize’ it’s back-office functions, including HR. While there were some global ‘mandates’, such as the new HRIS system as the current systems were a... — read more
Xerox is giving back to our communities
John V sends out an email about Xerox giving back to our communities. Here’s a suggestion buddy, don’t send our freaking jobs to India. Leave them here! Keep these hard working men and women employed in our COMMUNITIES!!!!! What a hypocrite!
So, who is the CTO
So Steve Hoover retired as CTO of Xerox. Who is the CTO now? I thought there would have been an announcement by now
support.xerox.com
Anyone notice products missing, and for those that aren't missing, no download link works. (Drivers, User Guides, firmware). It's been like this for at least 12 hours.
Questionable sales compensation practices
I’ve refrained from commenting on Xerox sales compensation practices in the past for a few reasons namely staff who have struggled with getting raises from Xerox generally don’t want to hear any complaints from a Sales Person about compensation... — read more
You really might see the perfect job float by and it won't hurt to throw something out there
Just sign up for job alerts on Indeed, Glassdoor and Zip Recruiter. I liked Neuvoo too. Sign up for Linked In if you don't already have a profile. Once you get a feel for what else is out there you can throw a few resumes out there. You really might... — read more
What’s ahead in the next chapter of “The Death of Xerox”
There are no new sales to speak of therefore where will funding for severance or keeping RIGP funded above 80% come from? How will they finance the promised increases for anyone left after July 1st? Any available cash has been used to support Icky’s... — read more
XIM CIO Comm Mtg Last Week (XDX CDO Comm Mtg Last Week)
He impressed on us the great importance of the aggressive plans for XDX (XIM). Was I the only one offended that he didn't say one Thank You for all the mess we've been dealing with after layoffs and rebadging to Wipro? I left with the feeling that... — read more
The large amount of labor or workforce still on the books
What is the one component impacting a Xerox sale to another company? The large amount of labor or workforce still on the books. Moving a lot of people to HCL makes it easier for Xerox to divest itself of components to other companies. No bad news for... — read more
Rebadged Hope
Our hopes were high good news was to come on Friday. The news is we have 6 months from April 1st. They will give a 60 day notice of being let go. Severance of one week for every year up to 8 weeks. No more rebadging until 2020. Good news for thise... — read more
Resume is done and posted, i feel hopeful!
i have to admit, i was dreading looking for a new job, i was comfortable, making decent $, nobody watched over my shoulder because i work hard and i've always gone above and beyond, UNTIL i was badged over. i now know i have no futute, i know my hard... — read more
Are badgers signing new contracts with HCL?
Or are they just transferred by automatism. How does it even work? If new contracts are being signed could that affect your status in the sense that they offer lower benefits, less pay, worse conditions…. Or are the rebadgers guaranteed to have at... — read more
Cold out?
Must be cold because there are still a lot of snowflakes on here.
Glad I left before the storm hit
I used to work at a local GIS core... I left in the summer. I heard early rumors, but I left because of the TERRIBLE office culture at my core, and the regional management that seemed to be above all rules... This is what I can tell you... I am very... — read more
Commission plans changing
XBS/GIS, Direct and Production (essentially all sales) commission plans changing on July 1. No details out yet. New compensation plan “leadership” in Norwalk Corporate, not in Webster or Tampa
Outsourcing, selloffs, layoffs
That seems to be the content of the vicious circle that is in play at Xerox. In that sense, whoever thought that the HCL situation wasn’t just the beginning of a long and painful process where the company is cutting and restructuring, and basically... — read more
Thinking Xerox will fail because it failed its customers
The long-standing issue with Xerox is that it continuously breaks its promises to customers. For Ex Misses SLA’s, doctors reporting, eliminates the TSG, doesn’t meet bid requirements it agreed to. This is deeply embedded into its culture. It’s for... — read more
Good news or Fake News
Lets see what happens tomorrow. I’m of the opinion that over half of the negative posts on here are from ex-employees or competitors. First positive post I’ve really ever seen was this evening. Better not be fake news!
Good news from the west coast
Sounds like XBS is getting some much needed positive news tonight or tomorrow. Includes good news for those employees who were rebadged. Don’t know all the details, but tenured and trusted leadership just confirmed good news is coming shortly. Light... — read more
Better jobs out there!
I decided to leave my job at my gis core "Michigan office solutions" before things got worse. I received an offer at the first competitor I applied at. Twenty percent more an hour and better benefits --- I accepted. Way better jobs out there!!
Don't let age stop you
I turned 62 in September 2018 and was canned a month later. My full retirement age is 66 years and 4 months. I took the severance and tested the waters with another company. To my delight, they hired me with an 18% increase in salary and benefits to... — read more
What's going on with your call center?
Can other cores / xerox explain the changes (if any) that is going on with your Service call center? Have you merged with other cores? Please go easy on the rumors and just reply with facts.
Is there any future in this industry?
Think we are working in a business that is dying and will, in some time, no longer exist in the for that we know it in. Has the time come to try to seek our fortune in other businesses before it’s too late?
The possibility of expanding the HCL deal?
Just a wild guess, but I’m thinking there is a possibility that, if all goes well that the leadership could expand the size of the original arrangement with HCL, outsourcing some more parts of the company that weren’t intended to be outsourced in the... — read more
What Was The Hit To WIlsonville?
I got out a few years ago. So happy after 30 yrs. But keep thinking about the Tektronix / WIlsonville Group that had it right, then mother Xerox messed it up.... like all prior acquisitions. Are the WIlsonville folks around still... or gone to HCL?
Not the whole picture
This board is very focused on the GIS/XBS events and understandably so in light of the recent HCL transactions. But the Xerox issues, and layoff implications are much broader than XBS. It’s clear that the big picture is hard to grasp, especially when... — read more

Applying at HCL
I got laid off at Xerox a couple of months ago, before the whole HCL situation. I’ve been unemployed ever since. I’ve seen a job opening at HCL for which I’m qualified and managed to land an Interview. It’s not a topic directly connected to Xerox... — read more
Is HCL at any of the XBS cores?
Please post where.
I'm not looking forward to leaving
A lot of people are hoping to get laid off, but I am among the few who are dreading it. I have only a few years until retirement and i really do not relish the idea of having to look for a new job at any point before that. However, I know I was... — read more
Grab your life jackets
Xerox is a sinking ship, the direction the company has taken in recent months in favour of costs and turnover rather than moral & integrity is nothing short of disgusting (I understand its business but the treatment of employees and the way this news... — read more
What parts of the company will be up for sale first?
Seems like a logical question at this point, because that could be their next move. If you recall, there was a lot of talk about parts of the company being sold off, but all that talk stopped in light of the whole HCL situation. Do you think they... — read more
Confirmed
Sources are saying that the big chiefs are in a meeting together and they confirmed that they heard JV and others are putting together the names of the next group. The rumor is May 31 will be billing and accounting department. The on s staying will... — read more
Billing/accounting/HR
These departments will be eliminated by end of May 2019. Its a done deal. We will be outsourcing these jobs. The rumor is HCL is a skilled competent company and the training they are receiving from the cores are confusing and intentionally explained... — read more
