Don't forget to join in the class action

I found a way around the ban of HP HPE equipment, I buy H3C equipment instead of HP HPE equipment.
Hello HPE Education, It is not me against HP HPE. It is HP HPE against me. This problem could have been avoided if HP / HPE is not so hard up for money, I buy HP printers despite office opposition, and the HP printers all failed to work on the day... — read more
Today was my last day with HPE
Over 20 years with HP and given my walking papers. Not sure what is in store for me and my family but just about any job situation has to be better than working with a WFR cloud hanging over your head. I've always said that I would probably work at... — read more

HPE Severance Pay and Rehiring
I was WFR'd approximately 2 weeks ago. Severance is 60 days pay (on target incentive) and at the end of 60 days you have to sign a form that basically makes it impossible for HPE to ever hire you back again. For signing the form and returning it... — read more
New wave of layoffs between November and January - get out now

Meg Whitman aka Trojan Horse successfully completes Wall Street's mission .....
Meg has no shame. It is as if she does not feel anything, no remorse or any such thing. All that matters to her is the number of 0's in her account and power. We all remember when she ran for office as a Republican in California and lost and now she... — read more
"Fight" going down on social media.
https://www.linkedin.com/hp/update/6196891781091647488 A fight is going down on social media between HPE fanatics and a guy who left HPE to go to Dell / EMC. A bunch of these people commenting (like our favorite HPE blogger) seriously think that HPE... — read more
Mike, they are fooling you!
Hi, I hope CSC's Mike Lawrie will read this. ES top management are altering the FY results by firing everybody wherever they can to improve the results, get their PFR bonuses and get CSC paying more for ES. Suddenly our OP is hi after years and year... — read more
Layoffs in India
Why? I thought the whole point of these WFRs was to cut costs and move the workforce overseas for cheap labor. Then how in the f--- is this supposed to make sense. Are execs just completely f---ed in the head?
Which is worse: Meg or Carly?
Carly started HP's tumble, but it seems like her actions were a drop in the bucket compared to the damage Meg Whitman has caused. Thoughts?
HPE keeping track of employee IT consumption
Anyone else get the email from HPE showing a report of how much we cost the company in terms of Skype, Conferencing, and SharePoint? Big Brother is watching!
My benefits are going up 55%.
Going to CSC. My benefits are going up 55%. Getting us "in line" with CSC benefits package. Dusting off my resume now. We can't cut anymore, as our techs are burned out.
Does HPE have a customer quality team?

bashing the competition
Is it just me or does HPE love to bash the competition? I'm listening to Bill Philbin talk about how it is not a good time to be in EMC / Dell, NetApp, IBM and so on but it is a great time to be at HPE. Do other companies talk badly about HPE? I... — read more
Is this HPE or HP Inc.?
Hewlett Packard Co. and XPO Logistics plan to lay off more than 30 workers each by the end of October. The two companies recently notified the state's workforce development agency about the job reductions. A state log of pending layoffs shows... — read more
So you have been thus notified
Reposting something buried in another thread as I think it is important enough to stand on its' own: "If you are taking the time to read this blog, then you are sharp enough to know that NO ONE and I mean NO ONE is safe from HPE layoffs. You can ask... — read more
Mike Nefkens on the way out
For the HPE/CSC spin off folks, the rumor is Mike is mulling over, meaning his adviser is looking over employment contracts to exit after the HPE/CSC merger is complete.
Another reason why you have to move to a . . .

2017 Severance Payments

I too will be leaving HPE
I am one of several on our team that took the 90% off-shore target seriously. Either through the on-going layoffs or bright sizing (the bright ones bail).
HPE and Silicon Valley
The entire high-tech industry has devolved into a purely mercenary endeavor. Does not matter the company as every company only cares about what has an individual accomplished lately. Companies accept and now want people to quickly move on or up, and... — read more

Meg and Hillary
Anybody else notice that one of the first persons that Hillary sought out after the final debate (she gave her a hug) was none other than Meg herself. Looks like the cabinet is in her future.

Do you know of anyone that didn't sign the layoff documents in order to pursue suing the Company?
I personally don't know anyone, but would be interesting to hear stories about that. Once you sign those papers, you basically become their puppet and can't touch them... For sure someone at some time decided not to sign them and sue the Company for... — read more
