We lost a few in Fort Collins and 2 in Houston (that I personally know about).

Military Veterans “Out There”, Hello? HPE Culture is Hostile to Vets…
I think we all know by now that HPE discriminates against older folks. See http://hpagediscriminationinvestigation.com/ and supporting links there… I will leave it at that. What is clearly less-often commented on, is that HPE culture is fundamentally... — read more
Guess HPQ was the place to be!
When the split happened everyone though HPE was the place for cool kids. Turns out you all are just getting killed out there. Good luck!
CEO duration?
Anyone know for how long is the period for the CEO? 5 years?
Full time employees after divestitures
Does anyone know the downsized/targeted size of the company after everything is said and done?
eBay been baby, hire a real CEO
Can't keep the numbers up forever selling off and laying off. A good CEO should earn the money

MicroFocus Plans for NewCo
Those of you drinking the "6th largest pure play software company" Kool-Aid now have a glimpse of what kind of X-mas presents NewCo has in the pipeline. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/04/15/micro-focus-signals-job-cuts-7bn-hp-deal/
HPE vs DXC retirement plan
Thoughts on how they compare?
HP Helion
HP Helion - This happened so quickly that if you blinked, you might've missed it. HP has had various toes dipped into various cloud projects over the years, but in 2014 they launched Helion as their Openstack-based cloud... only to sunset it less... — read more
Ciber Bankruptcy
Did anyone else see that Ciber (who HPE unwillingly shoved hundreds of workers to over a year ago) has filed for bankruptcy? So many current and former HPE ES employees are just getting screwed all the way around. This whole fiasco is just sad.
Moved from HPE to DXC to Get laid off
What a plan. Move HPE employees by the droves to this acknowledged failure corporation. HPE will not survive like it's DXC smoke and mirrors company.
April 3rd layoff in 3PAR
There were some layoffs in 3PAR in SQA on April 3rd. What is happening?
HPE retirees
As someone who was GM/EDS/HP - RIF'd in 2009 by HP - then started drawing my pension from HPE in 2015, any known changes to pension payments at this time? I personally hope they offer another pension lump sum payoff.
All the disgruntled employees have left to go to the DXC board
Seems like Meg and her minions are off the hook now. No more criticizing the fine decisions her and her staff have made or will make. Good Luck all employees and retirees. They are One lucky group. Now lets see how her decisions pan out. GLTA
For All of You HPE Inventors Out There…
My recent experiences as an HPE inventor have been two-fold: One… In the older days, not more than a few years ago, one could put in “blue sky patents”, not related to anything that HP / HPE (or you) has / have actually built or tested, or even... — read more

Outgoing HPE workers stripped of gym cards and cushy remnants
After you done being angry, crying, and have run out of alcohol, sometimes a sense of humour is all that remains. Gave me a chuckle, a line from the article: "On the bright side, at least DXC employees won't face the embarrassment of potentially... — read more
Top execs leaving HPE
Another one left this week... What's going on?
CSC Severance Package. Does anyone in CSC know what the current severance package is for US Employees.
What's it going to look like in DXC?
Plano layoffs could be as soon as April 7th?
Chatter in the hallways is some of us will get the DXC "welcome package" the first week of DXC. What are other areas of AMS hearing?
Started my new job with a new employer last week. Thank God. My Goal is to find a new job for everyone I left behind. DXC will make slaves of
you all. Now you have three layers of Corporate Greed HPE, CSC and DXC who will drop you the crumbs of that Big fat labor rate. Remember, each corporation will have shareholder, BoDs and top management to satisfy and you will always come last. Please... — read more

new WFR rumors -25% in ES/DXC
i've heard this rumor , ES/DXC management is anticipating a WFR of -25%.
So they have it laid out so HPE will make a profit this coming quarter?
What do you think?
Who has hired lawyers to negotiate your severance?
Who has hired lawyers to negotiate their severance or even initiated legal action? What was the result? How quickly does HPE cave? How much more did you get? Curious minds want to know...
Ballsy Executives
This is so pathetic. I wonder how executives at HPE and/or DXC have the nerve to get up in front of employees at any level and spew un-truths about the company. There compensation must make them think they are so immune to anything negative said or... — read more
I'm still pinching myself
For so many years I did everything possible not to get laid off; worked 70 hour weeks, took on anything and everything I was asked to, was careful to maintain good relationships with everyone, especially my managers. I was always ranked Signifcantly... — read more
Last round of HPE layoffs stopped prior to DXC April 1st start
Can anyone confirm that employees slated for the final round of HPE layoffs at the end of March received an offer letter from CSC one business day before receiving their formal layoff notification? Is this another attempt to bring them over just to... — read more
Once Laid Off Banned for Life?
Is it true that if you're laid off you can never work at HPE again? What's the business/legal point of this policy. If you quit you can come back, but if the market tanks and they have to let you go because of lack of business, you can't come back?... — read more
Backstabbers are going to get theirs. In HPE, there are so many weaklings they have to resort to backstabbing for self-preservation
Man, you don't even care about human hurt (children, households). What goes around comes back around. It will be so funny when it happens to you.
Manila DXC we rock!
Wake up guys!!!! why y'all disillusioned that HPE is still a great brand. We'll, it never was and it will never be. Can y'all snap out of dreamland and accept we will be and we are now DXC!!!! DXC is not even a shell of the former glory of HP. Even... — read more
Did anyone receive a gift after being WFR'd and classified a Retiree?
I never received a retiree gift or a badge, but I'm hearing others did. Any thoughts?
HPE has become the joke of the Industry... Do you agree?
It's sad, but we are now the joke of Silicon Valley and the tech world in general. There was a time (pre-Carly), in which this Company was not only respected, but admired. This was the Company everyone wanted to work for back then... Bill & Dave, I'm... — read more
I thought a disgrace occured when HPE fired me on January 2015...
