Let me ask all of you. You were always afraid of the dark side , are you still. What does a customer need when a system is installed? Help with their migration efforts/vmotion as an example, maybe assistance provisioning, maybe help with performance... — read more 

I left HPE last year after 21 years. HP/HPE gave me the opportunity to raise my family near where I grew up, while allowing me to spend invaluable time with my children as they became adults. Was it all good? No, it seems like the past 18 years have... — read more 

While life is grand at the San Jose headquarters with new gyms and lavish cooking facilities, the field, the backbone, gets laid off. Monday March 5 we were all notified that we would be outsourced to Unisys.

Reading this board makes me think that HPE desperately needs to clean out its ranks. If there is so many otherwise unemployable people working here (and only people who are completely unemployable can fear layoffs in this economy,) then it really is... — read more 

Why cut itself off from such a huge pool of talent when its meant to such a transformative business ?

Will it close? Will we be moved?

If I am laid off from HPE, can I go and work for HPI? I know I cannot go back to HPE but there is an opportunity with HPI that I'd like to pursue. Any thoughts on this?

Rumor has it that there will be some sort of "push" to turn most or all of GSD into contractors. After The Meggot got rid of ALL (or almost all) of USA-wide contractors about 1/2 year ago, there is now (post-Emperor-Nero) a push to get contractors... — read more

Is HPE done with the 10% workforce cut they announced last November? If not how much more to go? I won't be surprised if they tack on another 10% to the previously announced cuts. It is like rolling blackouts of 2000-2001 in California - borrowing a... — read more 

HPE numbers exceeded Wall Street expectations, but how much of that was due to the execs eliminating the 2017 annual bonus? It did not hurt the execs since much of their compensation is stock options and RSUs, but it did hit the rest of us whose... — read more 

the conventional wisdom was that HPE was the way to go at the split and that HP inc couldn't possibly be headed for anything but the trash heap???? Today, Not a single post on the first page for HPE that is more than one month old. Not a single post... — read more 

This past week I was contacted several times both via LinkedIn (and through voice calls) by an insisting HPE recruiter telling me that I was the "perfect fit" for a role she was "sourcing" with urgency. Of course I was the "perfect fit"... I was laid... — read more 

We all know more layoffs are coming after the quarterly results are announced (and they are not going to be pretty for sure,) but I was wondering what's most likely to be hit the hardest? Somebody already announced HPE Software, but do we know if... — read more 

A decent sized list of people in Houston were notified on Monday.

I am based out of India and for the FIRST time I have been asked to provide names for a WFR. That too 50% of my team. There are WFR's planned for US and UK also. Names will be out by Feb mid.

Outside of thanking God you have a job, 2018 for the ones still left that hpe has been nothing but looking at a bunch of your co-workers get laid off, no sort of clear path or direction of what is going on with the company from your managers or upper... — read more 

Similar to "The Matrix Revolutions" movie, his role is to execute 'HPE Next' bringing the Company to "levels of survival we are prepared to accept." Most of "The Architect" phrases perfectly fit the demise of HPE... "I am the Architect. I created the... — read more 

With old CEO gone and a new one in, it is a new day. And hopefully a new beginning and a promising future for this company built by legendary Bill and Dave. I hope the cronies of the old CEO also leave, cuz if they don't leave, this company will... — read more 

I recently had the chance to be involved in a bid where HPE was one of the participants. Hmmm. Destroy my life and that of my family after decades of superb service and want me to buy from you? Really?

Has anyone had success with requesting a WFR? I found another job already so I figure it couldn't hurt to ask. Anyone successful with this?

The continued gutting of Storage continued and other sites hit bad too. At this point who will assist the customers!!!

I woke up to a text this morning from a West coast co-worker? Bonuses across the board. Can anyone confirm? I have not heard back from that person.

An interesting and very likely observation was made by another contributor in a thread. Because it was buried a bit, it was unlikely to get the attention it deserves. His or her hypothesis is that the company HPE was never intended to succeed. The... — read more

Someone ran an LDAP script and came up with 16,892 US employee count. If there are only 50K HPE employees, this means that there are only 34% in the US. During Carly's time, she wanted a 60 US/40 WW mix. Then Hurd changed it to 40 US/60 WW. I heard... — read more 

Looks like they are going to let go all contractors, so storage and other teams will be hit very hard. 3par will become a even bigger mess than it already is. This company is going downhill fast!!!

Hi. I was fired from the old HP in 2010 (not WFR, but fired "with cause" - long story), and I moved on with my life. I currently have a Senior Director position at a small Network Security startup, and HPE is in advanced conversations to acquire us... — read more

Historically (at least for the last 5-6 years), the day after the MLK Holiday in the US has been a brutal WW layoff announcement day in HPE. Good luck, everyone! Hope things work well for all of you.
