Laid off but they forgot to tell me! - Anonymous employee Xerox Employee Review

Layoffs are determined by accounting, not merit. I was recruited into Xerox and then let go after being 2.5 years. My boss did not know I was laid off. I found out when my email would not work and I investigated why I could not log on. I was told that my position had been eliminated. If the company is in the red toward the end of a quarter, they lay off to appear that they are in the black.
