I’m hearing that S&P Global Ratings assigned Xerox Holdings Corp. an issuer credit rating of 'CCC+' with a negative outlook. Aka: “deep-junk rating.”
Q2 was a turnaround
I’m hearing Q2 will be the turnaround quarter, word is the numbers coming through look fantastic, maybe that $8 target for the Warrants is in sight
STARTEEPO Increases Xerox Position to 8.8 Million Shares, Becomes Second-Largest Common Shareholder
I saw this yesterday and wanted to know, what does this guy know that we all do not? Apparently he is not afraid of the debt number.
This isn't healthy
If you have left the company and you're in here moaning, then you haven't stepped away at all. Xerox has to change. Decades of poor leadership, management and poor execution, coupled with quite incredible world events- remember COVID, have led it... — read more
Is any backfilling happening?
We desperately need more people, we're dying over here, but we're being told nobody is being hired currently. Is this true? I haven't heard anything about a hiring freeze happening.

Xerox Retention Plan: facts, not fan fiction
A lot of people are reading Xerox’s retention plan as if it were a secret bankruptcy announcement. It is not. What it actually says is simple: "Xerox is under pressure". No surprise there. "Xerox is going through transformation, restructuring... — read more
What Type???
Now that it looks like from managements maneuvering that bankruptcy is certain to happen very soon, what are the odds it could go directly to Ch 7 instead of Ch 11. There was an analyst stating it could line up that way because of the abnormal amount... — read more
Please, don't give them what they want
I think the endless surgical layoffs and toxic environment are designed to make people quit. Don't fall for it. Make them pay you to leave if that's what they want.

Xerox Share Price
I wonder how long more before the market realizes that the current share price is unsustainable and start to drop to $1+ level? The addition of Lexmark will pull Xerox pre-consolidation price of $2 further down for the debt that is being accumulated. — read more
Fuji Machines?
Does Xerox still put their name on the Fuji machines or is everything Lexmark now?
Stuck with no good options
I got my first offer after six months, but then I read about them and they have the exact same issues we do. There's no point in accepting it and losing my seniority for the same thing. What a depressing situation.

"mixshift" seems like not so much a reinvention after all
This is from 1999 when we saw share prices drop by 24 percent just wondered if they dusted this off from an old set of meeting minutes..it feel awful familiar. "In April, Thoman unveiled a plan to remake Xerox’s image as a technology company... — read more

June layoffs?
Anyone heard anything? It seems every month there’s a RIF. Or maybe they met this month’s numbers with the VRIF.
Kodak
If Kodak was able to go through bankruptcy and reinvent itself so can Xerox. Just remember, Kodak in its hayday had 145,000 employees, today it has 3,500.
Made me laugh
I was looking at our competitors' pages just to see if everywhere is as bad, and this made me laugh: "This place makes Xerox look like an upgrade in employment." That was posted on Konica Minolta's page. Which barely has any posts. And our board is... — read more
The VRIF selection
It is very depressing as there are some very good people going because they asked to. Why can’t the organization organize themselves to get rid of dead wood instaesd of not creating an environment where talent and good people feel comfortable.

I’m beginning to think Xerox is not a good company…
Xerox carries over $4.4 billion in total debt against just under $500 million in cash reserves… It seems this is a nonsensical company?
How responsive is the HR “Alumni” team?
Sent an email to them yesterday afternoon with zero response yet aside from the auto generated one. Is this everyone else’s experience?

Today's exchange was largely written by AI.
Anyone who is familiar with the dunces unable to write more than a sentence for themselves recognise the telltale signs. Stuff like repeated use of "It's not X, it's Y". Explains why he says so much, yet there's so little substance. What a joke.
Teammate just left for a 20% pay cut
I didn't realize the layoff stress here was bad enough to make someone leave for less money.
Xerox is doomed not because of financials
