I want to apologize for my horrible spelling. The headaches and sneezing had me out of sorts today so I happily stayed home.
Also, to the person below with hope...Xerox is already Junk status.
If my spelling or grammar is not acceptable, s u c k I t.
Why don't we do both? There has to be someone that has a contact in the media. Let them know whats going on and call out on those 2 days?
Everybody calling out would send a message but a better message would be to somehow get major mainstream media to do a story on Xerox and how American jobs are being sent overseas.
I hope the GIS cores are reading this. I say we all call out on March 14th and 15th..see how much production they get out of that. We are hard working Americans and have been successful at GIS. Xerox needs to strip GIS down in order to fix their financial mistakes...sorry but it's not right. I see their point with redundancies but to send our jobs overseas is complete BS. Something has to be done even if its something small like a nationwide call out
As a former employee who loved working in one of the GIS cores that personally had a great performance record and a salary to match that, I was whacked earlier in the year. It still s---s when I think about it and how it was handled (POORLY.)
But here's the bottom line - blood s---ers like I-CON are not able to infest companies and then dice them up IF THEY ARE RUN WELL IN THE FIRST PLACE. Xerox and the GIS cores were not. Xerox was terrible at everything they did - their systems were antiquated, they bullied the cores, and their teams worked in silos and never communicated to one another. The GIS cores were stupid to have redundant layers of management and sister companies competing in the same geographical areas. And the leadership in Tampa did nothing about it.
So that's that. Their lack of management brains created the situation where Icahn and minions came in to fatten up the company's stock price through cuts and outsourcing with the intent of selling it. That's life, deal with it - I am. Ridiculous little 'strikes' and walk-outs are like trying to soak up the ocean with a kleenex. If you still work there, get your resume updated and start looking. Things are already set in motion - nothing will change that.
This is id--tic and reads like a ransom note. This company was poorly managed with terrible leadership, no vision, and senior leaders more focused on politics. Nepotism ruled with family members of senior leaders bringing in and protecting their daughters, in laws, nephews and nieces, and sons. At last, these fools have been exposed and run out of the company. As a result of 15 years of mismanagement and failure to integrate acquistions resulted in the need to cut headcount substantially. If not, junk bond status would have led to bankruptcy in my view Or, an acquirer or private equity firm would have come in and slashed the headcount. At least now, and I’m a former employee, the stock price has responded favorably and company in position to be sold or operate in an economically justifiable manner.
The unnecessary channel conflict of GIS and all other distribution channels competing against each other is finally being rectified. Too many good looking in suit do nothings let current situation get where it is.
For my former colleagues, I’m hopeful the company is lean and valuable and is sold for as close to the $55 per share Icahn said he could unlock by operating it(or $40 if sold last year).
Once sold, it will likely create some stability and a new more productive political culture may develop in my humble opinion.
Organizing a strike of sorts would be a better idea and bring to light to the media the changes. Management would stop most of it because any suitors to buy the company would stay away with threats of strike
If you can't spell, they're not going to miss you for a day.
That’s not a lot of notice, but I do feel a sneeze coming on tommorrow
