Does anyone know if there will be any change in status for people who were WFR'ed by HP after the CSC-HPE merger? Will the new company allow former employees of HP/HPE to work or contract there?

Hello guys. Some of you know well who I am, as I used to post in here. Until just a few weeks ago, I was a Senior VP within HPE before I "resigned". This post is mainly for entry level professionals as a career advise tip. Years before I joined HP, I... — read more

How convenient, Granny Meg! Getting rid little by little of anyone above 45 years old is not what I would call part of a "diverse" culture... Your pyramid is a true insult. Your time will come soon in Court... I really hope money doesn't prevail!

Blood will start in the coming weeks. Software BUs have been told to get the bottom line flat by any means necessary.
