Based on a conversation with my manager, my role is no longer needed in my group due to some changes. I saw it coming and have been preparing. I have only been at HPE for a year. Will I just receive 2 weeks severance?
$2000 for sneakers and a belt
Antonio made a splash with HPE employees and customers alike with his ugly $1300 blue Louis Vuitton sneakers and $700 Louis Vuitton belt. The man is out of touch and scored zero points with the observant. He's a 56-year-old, who looks 70 and is... — read more

HPE Greenlake Scam
Greenlake is a scam.
Layoff Antonio Neri
Maybe Antonio should be laid off. But it should done the same way that he laid off tens of thousands, with “compassion”, “empathy”, “heart”, and with no chance of being rehired by hpe again.
Let's rebrand everything. That'll fix it.
LOL. LMAO even.
Demoralized, disappointed and anxious
After the majority of my team got cut, among which there were many dedicated high achievers, I wonder how the management expects me to do more work than ever. Instead, the remaining employees do only enough to avoid trouble. This is completely... — read more

WFRs Monday 10/17
Monday 10/17 will be the day that WFRs will happen. That gives HPE 2 weeks until the end of the fiscal year to get you off the books. As usual this will be a stealth operation and you won't know these people are gone unless you personally know them... — read more
Voluntary separation
Is there any chance that they will offer a voluntary separation package? I'm only asking because someone here mentioned this as a possibility, although I sincerely doubt it. Sounds too good to be true.
