I didn’t know I joined a frat

So after 18 acquisitions, 8 1/2 years of Neri leadership, and a really long period of flat, nothing revenue growth, HPE is finally showing some signs of life. I wouldn't count on it lasting though.

prepare, it’s planned and coming

Just heard from an IC, we’ll see if true

we have managers, directors, vp’s that do not even know the purpose and what it does, a cpu, gpu, cuda, or even a workload

Why do we keep hiring from the outside instead of promoting people who've been here for years and earned it many times over?

Got a note to update my personal email address.. why would they need it ?

Antonio gets the ribbon

I wish I had the real numbers, but it feels there's at least two new ones every week.

Sad..

I’ve been on pip - does anyone know how it works? Is it basically 30 days, then you meet with HR and if your manager doesn’t take you off pip, you do another 30 days with a HR person and then after that you’re fired? No severance if you’re fired... — read more 

Asking for a friend who is expecting an offer. Is it 2 days per week ? Or can done 4 days a week and skip full next week ? Are there any min hours in office requirement ? Or is coffee badging ok ?

HPE: “We will treat all those transitions with the highest level of care and compassion.” Translation: We lead with empathy and compassion… just kidding. We ghost you, then act like you’re the one who did something wrong. Nothing says “highest level... — read more 

it’s hard to find good people in tech, unfortunately HPE has been letting those type of people go…and that’s not by coincidence

What about HPE Research and Cray group? What do those people do? Amy revenue out of there? Are they going to continue or on the chopping block? I hear they do some AI stuff as well

I wonder how many layoffs will result from the move to the Andover office?

HPE is being reshaped into a leaner networking-and-AI company, and anything that doesn’t serve that thesis is now on the table.

This is a time where rumors say more than facts. HPE pushing people out the door?

I saw a few of my colleagues today, and today specifically, get promoted to “Senior DT”. Wouldn’t the next natural step be Fellow? Is this a ridiculous attempt to make non-Senior DTs from questioning why they haven’t been promoted to Fellow? “We... — read more 

I'm always confused when people say they were caught off guard by layoffs. How? We know layoffs are always a possibility and every single person should act accordingly all the time. Save your money, keep your skills updated, update your resume... — read more 

Now that the year is over, are JNPRs going to be laid off or have their comp lowered? It was hands off for the first year only, then HPE can run riot in headcount if they want.

I was in the hospital and got notification that I was terminated. Not a phone call, no warnings, nothing. Just an email to my personal email while I am in the hospital. The reason? I missed one of his team meetings. He even complained that I... — read more 

Got the PIP and was walked out. Have a garage full of Juniper hardware, mainly Mist APs and switches. Some routers, small SRXs. $$,$$$ at least! Didn't ask / didn't tell, so how do i sell this junk?

Hi, I left Juniper last year before the transaction was closed and moved to different city. I provided HR with my new address but never received any information post mail or email regarding 401k liquidification. I logged into my fidelity account to... — read more 

Mist leadership taking over and Aruba folks are leaving. What are y’ll thoughts?

No one complaining tonight. Price won’t stay this high, but no one can say anything good?

We have chili cook offs and talent competition’s.

It has been circling the drain for 10 years.

Expected May-July layoffs. Any insights into what orgs?

Who is the actual global head? how does this work? they plan layoffs?

Did anyone hear about any recent layoffs?

What's happening with HPE? One week something is fine, the next week it’s not allowed anymore. We only find out after the fact when someone flags it. For the past year I've felt like I'm always one step behind something we weren't even notified... — read more 

Too many people think complaining online means they have done something to fix a problem. It don’t. It will make you feel better for a little while, but not make change. Remember, rich people and shareholders don’t care about you. You’re a tool to be... — read more
