It’s been awfully quiet lately, any updates?

And it's climbing rapidly. The number of goodbye emails I've received lately says more than any official update.

The worst management ever. I am still working here, but all we do is have meeting on projects that never finish. Upper management is by far the worst, very competitive against eachother, but let's have another pancake day! That will make everyone... — read more 

It has been 20 years since my lay-off and I still have flashes of absolute rage. Does anybody else feel like this? I don’t want to give the people who selected me (it WAS personal) any power over me, but I genuinely felt trapped and vilified by my... — read more 

Is there any truth to them?

A few years ago, HPE was a decent place to work. It was not perfect, but it was acceptable and transparent. Well, after Elliot management moved in, the culture is toxic, destructive, soul su-king and dysfunctional. I used to actually like my job, but... — read more 

This company is a big fat tu-d. Specifically, it’s HPE Networking within a tu-d.

That didnt take long huh. A rather pointless exercise, with HR and the big cheeses knowing full well it was coming 6 months ago. Shame - had hoped for better. Thats the HPE way we've been hearing about and now finding out its a reality!

I think the Dream Team will surprise everyone….better than expected Q1.

My Agilent and Keysight shares are going gang busters. HP split from the former Test & Measurement group so they each could focus on their product lines. T&M did just that but the printer/PC and enterprise hardware side,,,, well not so much!

Sending good vibes to those affected this week. Some of you had long careers at Juniper and did exceptional work in areas of consolidation. Others of you were also great contributors who just happened to be aligned with people no longer in power now... — read more 

ATM Live from houston-let’s do something fun and games with our EC team.

Investors have already lost patience with HPE, the worst performing AI hardware play. Neri has zero vision for growth and McDonald keeps shrinking his own business unit. The two must go. Rami isn't all that good either, missed the cyber security bo-m... — read more 

The title says it all.

Does anyone have idea if Juniper interns will be getting any full time return offers? I interned last summer, but haven't heard back from my manager yet. Not even a Yes/ No. Just no response. Would appreciate it if anyone has some clarity on this

Looking for honest feedback.

More and more field sales roles being eliminated in storage and networking without any input from actual sales reps. Middle management has changed numerous times without a clear direction everyone basically is freelancing

Two 20yr+ JNPR employees within Services / Support were WFR'd, even though they were paid for by customer support contracts....definitely a move to cut higher salary employees lose. We heard Services / Support had to take a 30% headcount cut across... — read more 

My manager recently said, “Reducing costs and improving efficienc; Use AI and low-cost region labor (per stakeholders).” So AI hasn’t been able to replace the work we do, yet apparently moving the role to a low-cost region is now being treated as the... — read more 

For anyone heading out of HPE or already gone, what pushed you to leave? Was it low pay, shaky job security, benefits, or something else? There are a lot of different frustrations building up, it'd be nice to know which one is in the lead.

It’s hard to understand how a company with HPE’s scale and portfolio continues to struggle to create momentum, and from the inside it feels less market driven and more internal. Constant restructuring, added complexity from acquisitions, and unclear... — read more 

Do we think Mackintosh's departure was negotiated or his choice? I'm a big fan of Ben Fallon.

What's happening?

The company just announced selling the telco business to HCLTech. I would be jumping ship. If the company is politely saying that they don’t want this business anymore, then you might be worse off than at HCLTech.

Forty hours feels like a fantasy. Everyone I know is logging fifty plus, and that is treated as normal. At what point did this become the expectation?

My guess is plenty of first and second line management are going to have tough conversations this week.

Real players are Aruba going forward, and he's the guy where they pull the string on his back and watch the show for a few minutes. You can tell he's just copying himself, wondering how to get a seat at the adults table for the big dinner.

Has anyone ever heard of an employee with less than 7 years at HPE ask to be on the WFR list?

Looks like the grinch is coming early, org getting hit this week.

I’ve been around HPE (HP) a long time, and I’m still hopeful about this company. But it’s only a matter of time before there are serious changes at the top, Antonio and parts of the board included. We need to clean out the toxic, arrogant pockets of... — read more 

the place is a ghost town.

You can almost smell it in the air!

Never forget our Culture Blueprint and remember to "Cultivate work joy"!

Integration meetings between HPE and Juniper are in full steam and it is interesting to see the human psyche there. All lemmings working day and night, knowing that as soon as integration is complete, they will the first one to be let go. Toiling... — read more 

What’s the point of these celebrations when the very people that made this happen are let go? No meaningful strategy when it comes to these layoffs. Those at the top are coasting while those who do the actual work are treated like cr-p. Trust... — read more 

They're being super quiet about it, but the fact of the matter is that there are more layoffs happening inside this company and it seems mainly due to the merger with Juniper. The surprising thing is that it isn't just traditional overlap functions... — read more 

We were a well oiled machined when I ran Operations.

All work going to India.
