Of course, the competition will take all the talented engineers because they are not valued at all here. Neither the talents nor their ideas are recognized and so then what quality of product can you expect? There are no quality products here... — read more 

Any new updates ?

A lot of the comments are rather old are there any new updates on HPE regarding layoffs projections.

Get Ready to Jump

Talked to a former HPE coworker and friend last week. He said that he and a couple others recently jumped off the crazy train called HPE. He told me that there is no future for many at HPE so things must be getting desperate there. The board should... — read more 

New Artwork in front of new HPE building

Has anybody driven past the new HPE building in Spring, TX? It looks like the building is almost finished and there is an impressive piece of art out front that looks vaguely similar to a giant 3-D model of a Covid-19 virus.

Fidelma Russo at HPE

What'd ya think? She was the person who was widely credited with destruction of the Symmetrix product line in the now defunct EMC.. Did she get kicked away from VMWare or she left on her own volition? I doubt it is the second..

Not many people plan to retire from HPE

The more people I talk to, the more I realize how few people see this as their long-term option. Nearly everybody is looking for a better opportunity, even people who are not that far from retirement. Only those who are just a couple of years away... — read more

Meg Whitman, from CEO to Kenyan Ambassador

Wanted to know what Meg Whitman is up to? Too bad. Well, Joe Biden nominated her as the Kenyan ambassador, like that will have a large impact. I guess she'll do anything to maintain a decent salary. If she's bad at corporate leadership, she must be... — read more

Damage control person

In past posts I have referred to someone I call the damage control person. It’s my theory that this person tries to shape public opinion on sites like this one as part of their job working for HPE. If this is the case, the ethical thing to do would... — read more

Small cuts

I wonder if and to what extent small cuts may already be happening here that we don't know about at all because they are not that big? I'm not saying anything, it would just be interesting to know what's going on under the radar.

Sinking ship

The situation is getting worse here month after month. I hope that in 2022 I will not be here but in another company. There seems to be nothing more we can hope for?

Dec 8th - Get the jab or get out

Based on the memo, looks like we finally know where HPE stands. Don't want to lose any revenue from the Gov't so everyone (even teleworkers) must comply or will be placed on unpaid leave.

Was there any indication of impending layoffs?

Usually, we know ahead of time. In the least, there are some rumors circulating. This time I didn't even know it happened until I read it here. Was this a really limited round and that's the reason why there was no chatter before and after it? I'd be... — read more

Will it ever be better here?

Does anyone have any optimism that it will ever get better here again? I think that almost no one believes in leadership anymore and our leaders are without any vision. There is no clear long term plan... and that says it all. This company is stuck... — read more
