Everyone be grateful they did not charge more for the worst insurance possible. They are so kind.

Xerox is all show and no substance when it comes to ethics ..
@ffce+16SPXDC4. The mentally is: It's a paycheck! Be grateful you are still getting one.
For anyone that says you should just be grateful to have a job and put your head down and work. Don't you see why that kind of thinking is the exact reason Xerox is where it is. When you have a culture of hey just be happy you have a job, that means people are less likely to challenge the norm and innovate. Hence you have an old-frail company that has an attitude that it's still mighty Xerox that deserves respect and its customers will be loyal, its employees will be grateful and its competitors weak. When will reality set in? The business world has changed. Sounds like an excuse for a pathetic culture.
And for Xerox’s next trick .... 401ks
where is 60 Minutes, or Dateline, or 20/20? I can’t believe there has never been an investigative journalism show on the f@cked ethics of Xerox. It’s so messed up. Like HR, leadership - so messed up.
401k disappearance act for 2020.... Ta Da!
Look into the cold abyss in the eyes of the ceo when he blabbers from the teleprompter. There's your sign
Attention petty deckhands and Captain Morgana get to work and stop lollygagging and playing with your barnacles. The sea is ROUGH. Looks like it WILL swallow you up soon! Arrgghh matees!
Hey 16spxdc4. Work on YOUR ethics. Worry about yourself...you need to. Is the population you and Captain Morgan? Luckily everyone knows exactly who you and your click are. So maybe you should get to work and try and be valuable to the company otherwise that one more move out may be you. You obviously need ALOT more work to do and a new job too. BE GRATEFUL.
Kudos to SG!

Grateful to be here? Ha. Maybe years ago. Now? I hope this place rots. Xerox ruined our XBS core. If you’re still drinking the KoolAid... well ignorance is bliss I suppose...
@cqmi+16SPXDC4 Agreed 100%. The haters should be grateful they are still here and have a job.
You would think that the past three Xerox RIF’s would have eliminated those individuals that love to spread negativity through out SAX.
Unfortunately, we can see that the negativity lingers with those individuals that are so miserable with life itself that they only find gratification in posting untrue comments about employee(s) they dislike.
SAX’s HR Leader of 17 years helped build and sustain a culture of employees that ONLY delivered loyalty, dedication and hard work.
KUDOS to SG
No MH is the worst.
I can debate any Xerox company that Saxon had the worst HR (now ex-hr), thank god, in history of this company. Ethics, employee concerns or confidentiality meant nothing to SG. It was all about her all the time, she needed credit all the time. We're so happy she was removed from that role. One more move to get her out and population will be happy.
Pragmatic rationalizing is really indicative. Actions, communications and practices are either ethical or unethical.
Same thing at ricoh. Videos and multiple choice certification tests. Hotline to report. But instances of ethical violations were everywhere; nepotism to 3rd degree, managers “working late” boning reps and admin staff in the office, boners giving bone-ees preferential treatment, gear on “trial” for years, creative fleecing of the customer. Everyone knew Ethics training was a window dressing joke!
I think folks that say Senior Management is unethical are saying it out of emotion in response to just how calculated Xerox Senior Management is when it comes to how its employees are treated vs the rhetoric stating otherwise. I think Xerox Senior Management doesn't really understand our business and maybe not even care. They are no different than other Senior Managements in the fact they want to increase Stock price only. They just approach it much differently and without much understanding of what we do and how we do it. I do not think anyone besides Ann or David or Joe cared much about it's employees. And the only unethical one was Paul. Ursula, selfish and credit stealing, Bill, bad strategist and horrible communicator, and now John, cold and connected to cold. But I will not say he is unethical. Is the company a mess ? I think so...can it turn around? I doubt it...is it unethical, i don't think so. I think they have little regard running the business with a long term strategy and make all decisions on the quick hit without regard to long term success. Likely to make it attractive to a buyer. Unethical I doubt it, slimy, sure.
I still remember earlier this year doing the yearly ethics online course and signing it...such a joke!!
Sadly nothing about XRX ethics, or lack there of, will ever see the light of day because HR keeps things quiet.
Has ethical culture at x improved since 2002? - “What bothers me isn’t that fraud is not nice or that fraud is mean. It’s that for 15,000 years, fraud and short-sighted thinking have never, ever worked.”
Whopper of a case? I got my popcorn ready. Wouldn’t put anything past management. No trust in reported results.
"It’s also not really ethical to claim cost savings when in reality you are pushing cost to another budget. I’ve seen that happen so many times it actually is funny."
So true. I've seen five years of reman fuser data for northwood/spyglass to show it has NEVER been profitable. Remans on that part deliver half the life at 2/3rd cost. Yet I've seen the reports from the reman buisness owners where they are being counted at saving the cost of OEM part. You need to change 6 remans to get the life of two OEMs and the OEMs come with a warranty. It's even more because shipping cost is excluded. Same for OEM vs reman drums.
Don’t bother with the ethics hotline, has been a joke for years. I recommend that you keep all related documentation offsite if someone is telling you to do something which is illegal, unethical or a violation of SarBox or other mandates, and have them put their signature on any paperwork requiring a signature. I have also been known to tell my management not to sign something and have it signed by whomever gave them direction to.
Is collusion ethical or just SoP? Reaching out to competitors to propose carving up national accounts? "We're the only 2 approved vendors so how bout you take the east & I take the west. Let's stop beating each other up and keep or margins and comp whole?"
I cheated on my ethics training!
Oh please, ethics??? When I leave this hellhole one day hopefully soon I will disclose a whopper of an ethics violation!
I was there when Dr Jay rejected overwhelming advantages (including cost) of a solution, choosing instead to award contract to a company that pays her to speak at conferences. Not exactly ethical.
It’s also not really ethical to claim cost savings when in reality you are pushing cost to another budget. I’ve seen that happen so many times it actually is funny.
My suggestion is to be in touch with the groups that award “the most ethical companies” and tell your stories.
Ethics!!??? Hahahahahahahahahahaha .. customers would die if they heard what goes on behind closed doors. You aren’t going to find much to do with ethics in a company full of old-school sleazy sales guys that would sell the shirt off their moms back. Anything goes. And the extra slimy are rewarded.
@1bbi+16SPXDC4 - Sadly that saying is no longer true. Company was ruined by greed. The Xerox office products are about the worst on the market. Especially since they have gone to the “workplace assistant” Altalinks are c-ap and the desktops are even worst.
I’d say xerox is a Very ethical company...But I’ve bought some shares of their stock just for fun so I might be biased.
Worst company faking as a US business. Shipped all jobs overseas and laid off US citizens. Customers are getting fed up with service because they can’t understand what the person is saying.
“No one ever got fired for buying Xerox.”
Ethical? Yes. Playing with the line between ethical and not - he’ll yes. Sales is the WORST.
I’ve never worked for a company as shady as this one. I’ve made multiple reports to the ethics line for different reasons - nothing ever came if any of them.
Not to well when from top to bottom one can’t believe what Management says or does.
This is the same POS poster I see here posting once a day now, stop trolling this site and winding people up.
Depends on what level of employee... The higher up the chain of command the less the ethics.
Similar c*rap here. It just goes on and on.
- We had a 'customer' going belly up with lots of production equipment and onsite inventory of about $250k USD
The customer bailed on the lease then THREW AWAY the onsite inventory
The sales person then gave them a new customer ID so they could get new customer pricing and sold them tons of new production equipment. The customer filed for bankruptcy and the sales person bought back the equipment to open his own print shop for pennies on the dollar.
- My ethics complaint about fraud on several other matters submitted on June 15th 2020 has yet to have anyone look at it.
- I went to a school once and worked on their office printer. Contract status said 'demo'. Pulled up data in ddcl and turns out this demo machine had been installed for 8 months and had done 500k impressions with 0 click charges and $20k worth of free consumables. That's like me test driving a new car for 8 months with the dealer filling the tank and doing oil changes.
- A large former customer with lots of igens was running indigo paper on the presses. 500k life fuser rolls were being swapped every 20k due to oil and clay makeup of the paper. Head CSE was threatened with his job if he ever told the customer what kind of paper could and could not be run through the press. Then management demands better parts spend on the customer or no raises. LOL
- I got a negative review on my midyear a few years back for 'poor response time'. I pulled every call I went to that year from isrve and proved the only time I exceeded response time was when I was flown out to the big Hawaii Island to work on calls that had been up for weeks before I landed. The review stuck.
I could go on for hours. So glad I left this dump.
