Topics regarding layoffs at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

HPE's Rehire (Blacklisted) Policy in Action

I was laid off from HPE in 2020. I was 55 at the time, and I firmly believe age was a factor. Since then, I’ve seen my old job—or near duplicates of it—posted and filled over and over. I’ve applied 15 to 20 times. Every single time, rejected. .. — read more 

International travel on H-1B before ED1

Until ED1 jn November, there’s the chance that layoffs can happen any time, right? As such, if we’re in the US on H-1B, should we cancel all international travel before ED1?

Inappropriate and unprofessional posts

There are a lot of folks on here that have been impacted by layoffs, so why the negative, unprofessional posts by what appears to be gainfully employed HPE employees? Wondering why they are "trolling" on a site that is meant for commentary and... — read more

Resignations

How does HpE handle resignations? If you give two weeks to they get rid of you earlier but still pay the two weeks? I guess there is no more owed vacation pay.

No New Upper Management

How has upper management (SVPs) been able to avoid being affected by layoffs? How effective has their leadership been? Like what are they doing to stay relevant? I've always found that very odd.

Anyone here who was laid off recently?

I’ve been looking for another job for months. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I’m starting to panic. If there’s anyone else in the same boat with advice, or anyone who’s been lucky enough to land something and can share their experience, please do. I’ve tried... — read more 

Horrible Keynote at HPE Discover

Was it just me or did Antonio's keynote seem extremely flat with no substance. Given where the company is at, one would think there would be more exciting news and products coming to market. Very disappointing.

No company has disappointed me more than HPE

I was with hpe from its inception. I have never been treated so poorly by an employer, managers and coworkers. I was cursed out by a manager during a review. I was lied to about having to work over Thanksgiving 500 miles from home. I was demoted and... — read more 

Sadly, HPE has turned into a stepping stone job

I hope all the new hires know this. It's good for a paycheck while you look for something better, but never a long-term play. The constant layoff cycles are predictable as sunrise. If you go in knowing this and plan accordingly, fine. But get... — read more 

UK Culling has started

Haven't seen any posts about UK (unless I missed them), so just a shout out that it has started here now - just had a meeting/announcement appear in my calendar. Sector: Hybrid Cloud Role: Software Developer Country: UK Impact / Roles affected: not... — read more 

WFR - Voluntary Severance

Is there a voluntary option to WFR yourself or is it just compulsory only? If not then surely it would be kinder to offer an incentive to those who are happy to leave rather than force out others? What metrics are being used? Can't be performance... — read more 

Could HPE be acquired?

HPE’s market cap is $23B. I think that’s small enough to make them an acquisition target. It would make sense for Hitachi to buy HPE to solidify their presence in the US. The question is whether that would be something they would want. — read more 

Incoming WFRs for Server BU

Hearing Neil is shutting down the GPU Cloud Services Business and major reorgs are inbound. Rumor is he had marketing pull their booth from HPE Discover. WFRs to start June 2nd, right before earnings....

Stuck in the past

HPE is stuck in the past with extreme micromanagement that ki-ls any chance for real initiative. Career growth moves at a glacial pace unless you’re willing to play political games and focus solely on pleasing multiple layers of management. .. — read more 

How long can HPE do this?

I really don’t know HPE can continue to exist like this. Announce 10% layoff, acquire a company, struggle for a while - lather rinse repeat. It’s painful to watch.

HPE India MD Resigns

Seems like India MD - Som Satsangi will be "retiring from HPE" after more than 27 years in service. Another way of saying WFR.. Looks like the firing is hitting HPE from all places, including at leadership level.

I'm starting to hate HPE

In addition to having to deal with layoffs, we have leadership that has no clue what most of us are actually capable of. Their expectations don’t match our skills, ignore our strengths, and waste everyone’s potential. It’s demoralizing to be set up... — read more
