LOL, no, not with HPE. I left HPE and started a new job a short while ago. This was based on 3 months. Come on, guys, have some self-respect and shed Meg and her minions. Waiting for a WFR sounds like a plan... a bad one. COBRA will eat most of that... — read more

I stuck around when 3PAR was bought. But now, I question if I should have left when 1/2 of my coworkers left. What will happen to 3PAR storage?
I was original 3PAR back in the day. HP acquired us. A lot of folks I worked with left. I stuck around. I don't feel excited about our products anymore. 3PAR was great. But now? Any tea leaf readers out there can tell me what will be the future of... — read more

The next evolution
Who'd take odds that the next step in this process will be when the board (you know, the common element in most of the goofy decisions) comes to the conclusion that it's time to throw Meg under the bus. After all, her stated goal of 5 years is past... — read more

What a disastrous quarter for HPE... Sorry for the guys that are still there, but I am SOOOOO glad to be out of that mega mess...

Interviewing is very different these days.
All recruiters (outside headhunters) are from India. All the calls are from Indian names. 99% of upper hiring managers are from India. The diversity is not there anymore in the valley. Don't mind this but when finding the right fit is really hard.
The TRUMP effect.
First I want to note that I hope Trump does well as our President. I see many biased comments here about Trump and I understand why. I understand because many of our JOBS have been moved in favor of cheap foreign labor and cheaper foreign taxes and... — read more
