Topics regarding layoffs at HP (Hewlett-Packard)

Working here was always cuts waiting to happen

Those who had skills left this place a long time ago. That's a fact. Most of the rest of us are here only because we don't have enough skills to find something better. However, those who were cut a while ago, some of whom I am still in contact... — read more

Will HP survive this restructuring?

I would like the company to survive, but I think it will be a real challenge. Restructuring could ruin the company even more. I am looking for a way to exit.

Voluntary layoffs

What are the chances HP will offer voluntary layoffs before the actual involuntary layoffs begin? I know there are at least some people who would like to leave with a decent severance package and giving them an opportunity to volunteer would be... — read more

It seems that HP must give employees 60 days notice under the Warn Notice or pay them for 60 days in lieu of. Please comment if you have information to the contrary.

Let the WFRs begin

Layoffs began first thing this morning. Nothing like getting let go just before the holidays. Why does HP have a habit of laying off people just before Thanksgiving? They know companies won't start hiring until after New Years.

I feel like I'm being pressured to quit

I have a feeling they want to save on severances and are now putting pressure on some of us to quit. The expectations have become completely unreasonable and the verbal abuse by my manager has intensified in the last month or so. I can't go to HR... — read more

Don't expect too much from HP

Well, enjoy yourselves because the ride is not going to last much longer. HP is no sweetheart, it's ruthless and will dump employees at the drop of a hat. A flat business with poor recent earnings, with a recent expensive acquisition, AND with a... — read more

Hammer To Fall

It’s coming everyone, the WFR hammer is going to drop soon for FTEs and CWs. Poor earnings, stock price tanking, super costly corporate acquisition, major rumors of campuses being turned to ghost towns, and other signposts all point to a volatile... — read more 

Workload isn't distributed fairly

While some barely manage to get everything done on time despite years of experience, others barely do anything at all. I have a colleague who no longer even tries to pretend to be doing anything. This is not only unfair, but also a great... — read more

No CTO org anymore

From what I heard, the whole CTO organisation is cut. People and teams are moved in BUs. Is that true?

Anxious about cuts

I am referring to the thread below in which the person writes about getting laid off. Morale is very bad, the atmosphere is tense, so I can only hope that there won't be big cuts soon. Does anyone have any insights?

Just got Laid off at HP

Got the word in earlier today that my position is no longer in the books for HP. Seems like they are trying to make their end of the fiscal year numbers a bit better for the shareholders.

Enormous pressure

I don't know about you, but ever since I started working here a few years ago, I have never been under more pressure than lately. Anyone else? I assume that it is a tactic to get as many people as possible to leave voluntarily... I think that... — read more

Bring it back already. I have enough of this place.

Contractor Furloughs

Hello, I am an full-time employee at HP. I joined the company under one year ago. Today our manager informed us that half my team (who are contractors) will be furloughed for the month of September. I was surprised to hear about this since I though... — read more 

There is still a lot of talent here

Yes, I think that HP still, despite everything, has a lot of capable, good employees, but the question is how long it will last until they also leave. Is this leadership able to do anything to retain them? Maybe it's already too late for HP... — read more 

Rumors floating around HP about migration of HQ

Currently, at the Houston site, no one has access to the top floor of the second building. There is some NDA activity going on but according to security, there is some renovation going on. Hmm... Well a couple of months ago, my coworker from Palo... — read more 

Stepping stone or...

This place served as a stepping stone for me. I immediately knew that I would not stay here for long, that I would only stay until I gained a little more experience and upgraded my skills. It surprises me how many people say that they completely... — read more 

Going to a non-tech industry

I saw here many people writing that after their experience at HP they switched to a non-tech industry. I'm actually thinking about it myself. However, it would feel very odd because I have been in this industry for a long time. That's why I... — read more 

It would take a miracle

This company no longer resembles the one where I started working. I'm counting the days until retirement and I'm looking forward to it. I don't believe that this place will ever be even close to what it was before. I wonder what kind of miracle is... — read more 

Work furloughs are back

It has been 2 years since my last 10 day work furlough at HP. I am a CW and since 2018 there have been yearly work furloughs. Most of them are 10 days per quarter, either once or twice a year. This time I got a one week notice of the first work... — read more 

Recession Coming, Look out HP!

Economists all agree that we’re well on our way into a recession, and everything we’re seeing with the high inflation and stock market drops bear this out. This is going to take a toll on hiring and could especially lead to more job losses in the... — read more 

Sometimes its's necessary to take some risks

Taking risks after careful planning are sometimes necessary for every company. But our leadership seem allergic to taking risks? Unfortunately, I don't see how this company can achieve any goals without it which means that HP will just keep on... — read more
