Topics regarding layoffs at HP (Hewlett-Packard)

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

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

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

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

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?

H1B is only the visible part of the problem

"senior employees are too expensive" mantra

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

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.
