He is concerned about the continuous layoffs going on within IBM. I didn't know if I should have laughed or cried. I told him to look for a job out of the Tech Industry, and strongly advised not to look at HPE as a "better environment"proposition.

I have heard there are a number of people getting their notice on the 18th including me. Have not seen anything in WARN or in the news. Tomorrow will tell. Very sad.

They can clean it up by looking what IP addresses are used to post trolling posts - I can bet that 99% of trolling posts are generated by three of four users only

I just saw a woman crying inconsolably in the parking lot, assisted by two other gals. There were a few of us watching. Never seen her before. Very, very painful... Almost crying here as well...

It is tempting to say I'll never buy another HP/HPE product, but the reality is that this company is an inanimate object driven by people like Meg Whitman who will move on once this company is dismantled and sold off. In the meantime, these greedy... — read more
