Ricoh has a history here. Anyone seen signs of this recently? https://www.forbes.com/sites/deborahljacobs/2013/11/03/11-sneaky-ways-companies-get-rid-of-older-workers/?sh=95982e56d0e8

So Ricoh is in a new fiscal year, what lies ahead? I am looking for the good and bad. Seems like mostly negative stuff on here so maybe someone can enlighten us without fluffing it up.

Seems like there is no push for anyone to perform. I don’t even believe texts are being judged by the numbers they are putting out. Sales seems to barely be placing anything. What does the future hold…?

I stopped by to see what’s going on in my old company. Judging by the posts, nothing new. Is it possible that they don’t even want subpar workers now? ricoh has not wanted “fantastic” workers for a long time as higher tier talent costs money. Now... —  read more 

I am thinking Ricoh doesn’t even know how they are functioning as they move forward. They seem to push all the motivated fantastic workers out the door and rely on mostly inefficient managers to pretend what they do counts. Maybe spend a... —  read more

After reading alot of negative reviews about bad managers, bad products and horrible work ethic. I was wondering why Ricoh don't have a union

Somebody mentioned there might be another round of layoffs in January, has there been any news on that?

Wanted to inquire whether there has been a large furlough or lay off of employees in Connecticut within the past 6 or 8 monthes ? Specifically the Springfield, Glastonbury and Rocky Hill copier technical training division? Thank you

I think Ricoh should buy another manufacturer like Kyocera during this time. It would expand footprint in sales and service and secure some faith in the company as a whole. Patiently waiting for April fools day.

Next month or will they wait until next year?

Puzzling that there's such a big discrepancy. Reviews are either, "the worst place on earth" or "everything is awesome!" Last few reviews are all glowing positive... looks like north of the border is now the land of milk and honey. Well done RCI!
