There's been a lot of anger these past few months over the terrible offers that many employees recieved from Ciber and Adecco. These offers are inconsiderate, unethical, and down right insulting, taking into account that many have spent much of their... — read more 

Since the days of Carly HP has been laying off workers most being in what they call high cost areas (United States). Labor laws in Europe and other high cost areas have protected the workforce in part from such layoffs. The United States have no such... — read more 

OK, so what do we know so far? There will be a split in November 2015, but are we going to be laid off in November or do we have more time? It'd be stupid if they were to let all 30,000 people go at the same time, so I think that we, especially HPE... — read more 

Like our US counterparts at Ciber, i think Adecco and Modis employees in Canada, the US, or wherever you are should also stand up to HP and their disgraceful practices! Make our voices heard, inform local and national news stations such as CBC that... — read more

This is ridiculous, disgusting, and unethical! My dad in Toronto was given the EXACT same offer that the Ciber folks got except it was from Adecco/Modis and he is NOT an hourly worker. So why on earth have the Ciber contracts been revisited and not... — read more 

how can a company transfer an employee to another company which is not its subsidiary. Why refusing to that offer means you forfeit your severance? When you get laid off is it not mandatory for the company to provide severance or compensation?

I left HP Services earlier this year, partly because I was tired of watching them toss money away on pointless projects while good people were losing their jobs. There was one group in Services that reserved penthouse suites at all partner trade... — read more 

Offer in. A fraction of my current psy. Can no longer afford to work here. A decade of work down the tube. What they don't know is I'm the 1st to get an offer here and all my employees know about it. They are about to see 100 refusals of these low... — read more 

The Number to be laid off will be MUCH LARGER -- "The number is sadly larger than some people might have expected, but I think it's a reflection of how much trouble HP has been having with its services," said Charles King, analyst at the Silicon... — read more 

After 22 years here, I am perplexed and utterly puzzled. Such a big move, breaking HP into two parts, it's massive and very complicated operation. But what two parts of HP will do in order to grow? What is a growth strategy for the two new companies?... — read more

Has anyone heard anything more about HP renegotiating contracts with Ciber and Adecco employees, it was from a Business Insider article last week. Does this affect Canadian employees as well?

...but there won't actually be a layoffs. Just need everyone to work hard as we enter new, high growth areas. On the enterprise side. HP knows that great talent takes a long time to build, and it'd be extremely short sighted to get rid of people and... — read more 

I used to work for another large global company where there also was a huge layoff, not much unlike the job cutting wave we are facing here at HP today. The CEO was like any other CEO, pretty tough and even more aggressive in language and attitude... — read more 

Meg Whitman is planing to cut about 88 000 jobs. Apparently, they want to 'maximize the shareholder return’.

HP shares are not valuable at they were last year. No wonder we are having the job crisis now.

Why work a lot of hours for pay that is not competitive.

Do you get to work from home? It seems like I heard something about this, but just curious if contractors are being required to work in HP facilities or if they are being allowed to telecommute. It might be the only worthwhile benefit in the deal for... — read more 

Lots of turn over. No raises. I don't think so.

I've been working for HP for about a year and I was just laid off yesterday. I can't trust any company now.

Is Meg Whitman doing the right thing?

Cutting 30 000 jobs, saves 2 billion annually. What about 30 000 people?

HP was founded in one of the Palo Alto's garages. It was once one of the largest co of Silicon Valley. Unfortunatelly, it is struggling in sales and they had to make a move.

My prediction... they are losing millions every month on a poorly negotiated contract (which the richly rewarded executives responsible already collected their bonuses for, and likely used inside information to underbid the competition). They will... — read more
