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
I'm glad that those scum-sucking idiot rat bastards at HPE made the decision for me.
Over 50, with HP for 20 years, laid off in July 2015. I had wanted to leave for the past 7 years, but now, I'm glad that HP forced my hand. I worked hard over the years to always learn new and marketable skills, and earn two Masters Degrees (one... — read more
New round of layoffs?
I just got a WFR after 8 years. Anyone else getting WFR'd? My boss indicated this is part of a larger WFR initiative to start the year. Any experience out there with severance and WARN and how they want me to sign my rights away?
Perhaps the work will come back to the US?
So they are going to off-shore the work from the off-shore centres? Ironic eh? Perhaps the work will come back to the US?
New round of layoffs
Anyone else affected by new round of layoffs? Got my WFR on Monday after 8 years of service. I haven't seen any official announcement from HP but my boss said to expect something soon. Anyone have thoughts on severance and signing away rights vs WARN... — read more
H1B is only the visible part of the problem
Indian companies with large offices in US (Tata, Infosys, Wipro etc.) bring to US and employ people on tourist, educational and business visas. This happens frequently and it is a part of the business model for them... It is illegal, but untraceable... — read more

After HP gobbled up EDS
Well, disappointment just landed in my lap. Just had a Superb review with a pay raise and get a call from my manager. I am being forced to retire. No one saw it coming he says. After HP bought EDS you could see the changes. Countless hours training... — read more
Manila Layoffs
A bunch of folks (about 50 or so) from the P&G account will be laid off by month end.
More layoffs this week
There were more layoffs this week. In the US and UK. Don't know the total numbers but I know of a few individuals that got their notice this past Monday, some in Plano, some in the UK. Manager says to expect these to continue thru 2016 and probably... — read more
"senior employees are too expensive" mantra
The strange part is after 28 years with the company, and having a performance ranking of P+ I was sitting at the very bottom of Pay Band 1. You reiterated what management says but the truth ( I'm sure you know this) is that many senior folks are not... — read more
WFR
As a recent WFR'er (HP blue if you know what that is) from the summer purge with 27yrs in, very happy to be out and was just waiting it out anyway. Earlier in 2015, unit managers eloquently stated their goal over the coming quarters was to layoff the... — read more
HP SUCKS, they want to run off all experienced resources
I got my review today. OMG, how wrong is it to praise someone on all that they did, all their abilities, and then say, sorry you get 0% increase, less than 1% bonus and 0% VPR. WTF??????????? I hate this company with a passion, I will absolutely take... — read more
Is your FPR as shitty as mine is?
Hello, although this is not a layoff post, who got a raise in the US, UK or any other non -3rd world country???? I just got my review today and was told that no-one in the US or any other country that is not 'low cost', would get a 0% increase, ON... — read more
This is what bugs me about the way Meg and her cronies are dealing with HP's most important asset: PEOPLE
I'm seeing work slow down because of layoffs and good engineers fleeing to greener pastures. If we can't fulfill our contractual obligations, we will lose this contract - how does that help the business? Even worse, one of our managers let slip what... — read more
How much revenue will be lost due to layoffs?
HP says they are going to save 2 billion by laying off 30,000 employees. Not considered in the equation is how much revenue will be lost when the services provided by those 30,000 employees are no longer there. I think that the lost revenue will far... — read more
Hard evidence of a WFR or payroll reduction event?
What HP should do is WFR all of you trolls spreading FUD with BS commentary and propagating other BS water cooler hearsay. We are all in the same boat - give it a rest. Post some facts, no more lies or speculation.
