HPE employees are not unionized in the US, so you can't fight back the beast. The only alternatives are to accept, or to leave.
There's no room for anything else. By just complaining on sites like this, you are simply accepting. if you are not happy with your job nothing forces you to be here. You might come up with plenty of excuses based on your personal situation, but they... — read more
