Why are we even buying Juniper?
Abyssmal results two quarters in a row. And that's an understatement. Significant product overlap. Wonder at 24 years younger, if Neri is more senile than Biden.
HPE will fail.
http://t.ted.com/myHh8dX Companies do fail. Its a part of capitalism. The average lifespan of a company is 18 yrs. Technically HPE is only 8, but I think that they might pack it in early.

It’s going to get bad
Layoffs at levels not seen in many years coming in the fall. Be prepared for the worst. That is the new HPE way. Weak earnings and an inflated purchase of juniper networks means they have to reduce cost.
Is HPE finally reaching the light at the end of the tunnel?

Monday WFR's
I heard layoffs went down yesterday. Hit Project Managers onshore to move offshore.
HPE's Strong Culture
is as strong as a used car lot. Sales bullying. Constant escalations. Squeezing people until they offshore their jobs. If Alan May wants a reality check, ask anyone in a customer facing role in the US that is not sales.
Neri’s record (underwhelming) 2
Revenue isn't the sole indicator of a company's success, and other factors like profitability should also be considered. HPE reports net income, not profit. So here's the net income of HPE according to https://investors.hpe.com/: 2018: $5.48... — read more
