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
There are layoffs going around every month in HPE at Houston. 20-30 employees every month. Some times around 50 employees layoff.

HPE and Aruba...Tail wagging the dog. Just wait Aruba...once you are assimilated by the end of 2016 you will know how screwed you are.
HP Networking (Procurve Edge switches, H3C data center switches, IMC management sw) got "reverse" acquired by Aruba who promptly screwed the HP Network Field sales reps by doubling quotas and cutting territories in half all the while having no idea... — 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
For the first time since 1982, I am no longer an HP customer. My last remaining HP product, a multifunction printer, died, and I replaced it with a non-HP brand. I cannot support a company that treats its employees so badly. I feel a bit conflicted... — read more

contractors
Just heard from a recruiter that HP is indeed leaning towards hiring contractors and continue to layoff permanent workers.
Hewlett Packard Enhanced Early Retirement
What are the details here? What was enhanced?
Mphasis
Blackstone will buy Mphasis from HP, you know what happens when Blackstone rolls in? Yes, you guessed right, layoffs.
My colleague was laid-off on 14th mar
I am working in India and my colleague in US ( He is an American) got laid off on 14th Mar 2016. He was given only 2 weeks notice period. I feel very sorry for him.
Last 3 years no salary hike but executives minted money.
They are hiring contractors and moving the job to low cost centers. T hou i am the only one who currently knows the project code, they want to lay me off in a month. They just don't know what they are doing. At one point we had 3 managers to look... — read more
HPE Early Retirement Program
Hello All - Does HPE still offer an Early Retirement option and if yes, what are the terms. Thank you!
Hp One Run Program
The HP One Run needs help they have no idea how to run it. They increased the amount of mangers for my team from 2 to 4. And realigned a bunch of teams to make a big mess. So now instead of reporting to the BUR (Backup and Recovery) Manager like I... — read more
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.
2016 Total Cuts for HP Inc. = 3,000 per forbes
3,000 workers will leave the company by the end of 2016.
The description of the company on this site is wrong, it pertains to HP Inc. I am nearing rumors of layoffs in the US as well.
In addition to layoffs They found an underhanded way of transferring people from enterprise services to Ciber at much lower pay and then hiring them back as contractors.
HPE Layoffs
HEP has it's own page for layoffs here: &hp-enterprise
Jumped ship.
Didn't ask for a WFR, didn't ask for anything. Just grabbed a different job, and bailed from the sinking ship after 24 years. It feels good not having a sword hanging over my head. HP works hard to make you feel that you are being compensated well... — read more
The Joys of #Outsourcing
On the HPE side I support three accounts. One is US-Support only so all of the team is spread around the United States. The other two accounts rely primarily on offshore support. Both are in Inida. First off, my customers are in the United States, so... — read more
On Telecommuting and Layoffs at HPE
Now this is stupid, HPE wants us to go into the office even though NOT A SINGLE MEMBER OF THE TEAM IS IN THE OFFICE. We are all geographically distributed, different time-zones, etc. I have to put up with a 90 minute one way commute to be in the... — read more
Thanks for all your work, but, you are laid off...
I'm there now in HP and they are looking to chop heads again. They are not looking at skill level or knowledge, strictly the bottom line. You work so many hours to make nonsensical decisions a reality and they change again when they realize that is... — read more
HP Split Burnout, 30K layoffs coming, let's hope for the best
I left HP after the split, was not laid off, left on my own. All that work to split HP was super exhausting and many things did not make sense or worked well.. Thousands of contractors were hired to assist, most people (especially us here in IT)... — read more

On HP Managers and Layoffs
Both HP and EDS will never learn from its past history! For one, it fixes its failed processes with new processes that are also failures. It moves it's management around instead of firing it's failed managers. Hardly anyone in a leadership role stays... — read more
Layoffs are not the only problem at HP – how about discouraging telecommuting?
Layoffs are not the only problem – discouraging telecommuting is a huge issue right now. For example, having a requirement that folks are within 100 miles from the office and to come to office every day – that’s ‘discouraging’. I personally felt this... — read more
The HP Way
Define it!
Laid off from HP last year, things are better now
I’ve spent four years at HP and was eliminated last year during one of the big three rounds of cuts the company conducted. I am split on the experience with HP – I liked my flex hours, my managers were hands off and I was not micromanaged. Some... — read more
Was on the Symantec account. Rising star, high performing, yadda yadda. Let me spill some beans.
What amazes me is the amount of theft, mismanagement of data and LACK of hours put in on the Symantec account. The relationship with this contract between HP and Symantec is either a sham between two companies or HP totally ripping off Symantec. I... — read more
HP isn't exactly doing well.
HP is getting it's ass kicked in the PC business. It's in survival mode. The choice is simple. Reduce cost of making PC's so it can remain competitive with all the other asian players (and that means laying off some of you now), or shutting down the... — read more
HP Inc workers organize
Dion is no better then Meg in terms of cost cutting, when sales are down just cut jobs, benefits, offshore, etc. The only way for workers to have any say, unlike the share holders, is to organize, "UNIONIZE"! Might not prevent the trend to layoffs... — read more

HP - Slow Death
I cant see how HP will survive. All the talented people have gone. There is not a single programmer that can fix any one of the thousands odd things wrong with our web sites and applications. If we report random numbers instead of using he formulas... — read more
HPE changes severance package Feb 2016
We know HP is gearing up for layoffs because they changed their severance package this week slashing it from a week for every year of service to 11 weeks and 2 days for every year of service after that. Typical Meg move. Typical HP, just keep paying... — read more
