Topics regarding layoffs at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

Raise and a bonus!

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 

Very bad quarter...

It looks like the conditions are aligning for a buyout... let's who will buy HPE...

Burning questions about WFR payouts.

Thanks in advance to anyone that knows. It has been two weeks since my layoff and I have not received my WARN payment. When should it arrive? Also, would it be direct deposit or a paper check? I've been so let down by HPE, since leaving a good role... — 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...

Finally Wall Steet is recognizing that all these layoffs - and the strategy of becoming a "box" seller - have been a disaster for the Company. It's incredible how she dared to blame ‘execution issues’ as one of the factors... I can easily see her... — read more

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.

DXC.technology ... that's the new HPE CSC Company name.

The email went out to HPE staff about an hour ago. The email is very long and full of buzz words to get us geeked up (insert eye roll). What the announcement lacks is what the heck does DXC stand for? Did they just pick any three letters?? Why is the... — read more
