Just curious was anyone affected today? I heard they were some widespread layoffs.

I spent most of my life there. Left 4 years ago voluntarily separation. It was bad then, can’t imagine what they are putting the techs through so sad
Emario Rippy is the biggest racist I've ever known. He sits way too high and thinks he is untouchable. He needed to be knocked down YEARS ago. He was only concerned about promoting his people of color and didn't give a rats a$$ about seniority.
Can someone check if Emario Rippey still works for Ricoh? Check the email. This snake in the grass was a piece of trash years ago and I would cheer for him to be fired. Cursed his a-s out a few times.
25 plus years and out the door but they kept guys with less seniority. Every major account has gotten new equipment in the last year and they cut 3 from our service team. Good luck getting things fixed in the next year or two. Bean counters are satisfying the board but, are sacrificing the clients satisfaction to do so.
I was one who was let go on my 20 year anniversary. So many years and all you had to endure through many of those years just leaves a pit in the old stomach and a kick in the a-s; hence…”imagine change”! Sad to say Ricoh has no loyalty. I worked with many great people who became my friends and lost many of them over the years through these layoffs. Wish I would have invested 20 years with another company.
The lay offs continue. (7/11/24) I started there in the 90s and I remember the first lay off. I was a teenager and upset to see this guy packing his desk up.
Fast forward to now and I’m AMAZED I’m still here. It’s literally sn---r fire all the time. They just earned another Great place to work 2024. Who the heck is filling out that bogus survey? It’s a lie but hey America is now the country of liars.
They also send out this Gallup poll that asks if I have a “best friend at work”. Well I used to have several of them until you let them all go!
Just a miserable place that has no value of their employees except oddly enough they keep the clowns there… OMG.. I must BE a clown!
Woke, broke, desperate and stupid. It’s the Ricoh way.
Our department lost 3/16 from the layoffs. We lost 12 or so from the last set of layoffs last year.
Three gone yesterday from our team, two that needed to go, and one who didn't. I knew something was up, everything was so quiet for so long, no meetings, no communication, still no announcement from management, word just spreading "through the grapevine".
I just heard 340 people were let go. Was this in the US only or all over? I just hope my department won't be part of it.
Tee hee hee! More is coming, lol, tee hee hee, ha ha!!!
I keep hearing from more people who have been let go. Seems to be at least a 10% cut just in the service end. Not sure what follows this but internally we are really not being told anything. So sad to see a company of this size doing this to employees without a plan.
We lost 2 this round. Lost a few in the October 2023 layoffs. Bright side is that Ricoh is a leader in Climate Change and a big proponent of DEI. All things important to run a successful business right? 😉
Definitely real…I know several people who got the axe. Some young some older…some recent hires and some long term. I think like most companies if you have a target on your back you are the low hanging fruit when they ask front line managers for names…not fair but that is how things work in today’s world.
It’s real and not rumors , I know of a few people in different jobs getting a notice on Tuesday before July 4 . Taking with them years of hard work and tons of knowledge. Ricoh needs to do better
Is this rumor or is there a real layoff and how many? I have heard so many things.
Heard the same. Lots of tech jobs gone. Also heard the sales force is being reorganized. Not sure how much change is happening but hope they have a good plan.
I got cut along with 2 other dudes on my team. Some had over 30 years in the company. This coming right after getting these annoying DEI Pride month emails. You can see where their priorities are. Enjoy the management bloat and sinking ship.
300 is massive given how thin it was already. Cutting through to the other side of the bone! Depts? Regions?
over 300, i heard
