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

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.

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

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!!!

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 

Peeking over into the boards for other companies people are jumping to, most of them look just as bad. In fact there's one big company in particular that looks 10 times more toxic. Is this just the reality of IT? Considering switching to a completely... — read more 

Today is Monday. Did the reductions continue?

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.

You can hate what Meg did but if she could have saved HPE/Q, she would have gone down as the greatest CEO in the known universe. Hating her for her inability to fix the massive damage before she came along isn't fair. It was too big to manage. Simply... — read more

Merry E F F I N G Christmas to all ... especially to Megtonio, their minions and the BoD.

Why the hostility by some posters towards people who are clearly distressed and upset at their (the) situation? Clearly many of the older workers at HPE were impacted by the WFR, chances are they were top performers and thus expensive to keep. When... — read more
