Topics regarding layoffs at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

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 

What is the redundancy process?

Are people notified in advance and then leave a couple of weeks later or something? I’ve not faced redundancy before and if I unfortunately am laid off I want to prepare myself. I’ve heard that people who are going to be laid off already know who... — read more

How are you doing with the job search?

I’ve stepped up my efforts ahead of May, but honestly, I’m more terrified than ever about losing my job. These days, even landing an interview feels like mission impossible.

Watching HPE drive away its best talent firsthand

I was the person everyone came to for answers. The one who fixed problems before most people even knew they existed. And you know what? I walked away. It wasn’t an easy decision, but watching them bring in outsiders at higher levels while the rest... — read more 

So, major layoffs happening in May?

Is what we’ve seen over the past couple of days just the beginning? There’s talk of a 10% reduction, with most of the cuts expected in the first and third weeks of May. Is that still just an unconfirmed rumor?

Finance layoffs

We lost someone to layoffs on our team in finance today. Anyone else?

What’s the main criteria when it comes to layoffs?

Is it performance? Compensation? Role? Something else? All I’ve really noticed so far is that it usually seems like older employees get hit the hardest. But since age discrimination’s supposed to be illegal, that can’t be the reason behind who gets... — read more 

No innovation and recycling managers

HPE lacks innovation and the people at the forefront appears to have been there since Compaq. Not sure why they constantly recycle management like some managers have been there for so long and when they promote people it just be someone that was... — read more 

How do you know if a colleague is WFR’d?

I’d like to be sensitive and also not waste my time on projects with someone who will no longer be on the team. I.e if there are tasks I should be picking up on their behalf instead of missing deadlines. Is there some sort of identifier in workday... — read more
