Both HP Inc and HPE slapped with class-action suit
Posted this in HPE, but it should be seen here as well. A class-action suit has been submitted against both HP inc. and HPE. The suit both alleges racism and ageism. Gotta say, with latest happenings, not surprised in the least... — read more

HP Layoffs 2017
I can tell you that rumors are flying around about job cuts in Palo Alto.
Massive Layoffs through 2020 - What are your thoughts?
I was hoping things will improve here at HP but we seem to be sinking deeper and deeper ever since the split (even before the split)... What are your thoughts on the job cutting plans? HP plans to lay off 3,000 to 4,000 employees over the next three... — read more

US computer company HP Inc has said it expects to cut 3,000 to 4,000 jobs over the next three years. The hardware business of the former Hewlett-Packard announced the plans as part of a larger restructuring effort. It is hoped the cuts will generate... — read more
Mentoring
It is all about having a senior person as a mentor. I have seen very competent people, go nowhere, while absolute incompetents seemingly get promoted and raises. The company is built on a business plan that stresses month to month financials. They... — read more
At HP R&D Brazil, they announced that they are going to cut 55 employees (from a total of 300 or so) by the end of October FY16.
That is, by the end of this year. (This is Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre -- not São Paulo.) I won't be surprise if they close the entire R&D in Brazil. It s---s anyway. Thinking they can be in this layoff list, employees are unable to focus on... — read more
Ex Cisco Employee looking for HPE professional services feedback
I got laid off recently from Cisco and pretty close to land a job with HPE professional services. I would appreciate any gotchas about HPE professional services.

Competitors (specially start ups) will kick our butt on gaming & "blended" reality. I can easily see HP making acquisitions there very soon - bidding against heavyweights. In terms of 3D printing, I think we'll kick @ss in a big way (at least in the... — read more

HP Agrees to Acquire Samsung Printer Business for $1.05 Billion
Eliminating Samsung as a competitor in the printing business for $1B was a steal. I wouldn't be surprised if in 1-2 years Canon, Epson & Xerox join their printing businesses into a new stand-alone Company. In terms of HP, it's not difficult to... — read more
cclass action lawsuit - hp age discrimination
I see that some employees are filing a class action lawsuit against HP. I was laid off after 31 years with HP/EDS. I suspect it was age related. I just found this website and submitted my information. http://hpagediscriminationinvestigation.com/
At least 700 more employees in HP Inc. will be cut in Q4 (Aug-Oct 2016) in order to meet the FY16 3K target (2,300 have been "let go" as of Q3).
Most of those remaining layoffs will be done in the US... The Q3 Company performance results weren't as bad as I expected. The issue continues to be lack of innovation to sustain/grow REAL revenues past 2017...
25 Years and Out
Sounds paradoxical, but after 25 years I couldn't get out of HP fast enough, the place is an absolute textbook example of how to destroy a great business, over complicate everything, make it extraordinarily difficult to spend money with them, and... — read more
I saw this article today in LinkedIn. This guy really hit the nail on the head making fun of the HP missteps for so many years
I saw this article today in LinkedIn. The guy doesn't make direct reference to either HPQ or HPE, but it's more than obvious... He definitively hit the nail on the head. He doesn't seem to be a professional writer, so I doubt this gets spread to a... — read more

Good Bye HPI
I left HPI (HP Inc) a few months ago. Best decision I've ever made. I resigned because it was no longer worth it. I have a new job now and a lot more to be thankful for. Almost double the salary and 1/3 of the work. It's a win win situation. My... — read more
No Longer a Customer

Our own internal IT help desk is outsourced.
I can't understand what they're f---ing saying when I call myIT for help. One time, they returned my call at 2 AM Pacific Time. Why can't we have L1 tech support here? They don't even know what they're doing.
