Funny how quickly the room empties once the title is gone. The people who stay are the only ones who ever actually mattered.
Gartner Returns!
Layoff culture is the worst thing about the business world, and it gives companies permission to ruin people's lives. Just different here, not performance based, if you are not liked, management cold blooded and will happily use it to ruin your livelihood.
@OP Dr. Gartner, you're so full of yourself!!
@fz Juniper treated people exactly the same way, no surprise they merged with HPE to fire expensive people and recruit cheap to boost the bottom line and share price. That's also working well isn't it.
It is sadly that time of year again, I can only imagine the stress, especially with families during the holidays. I am truly sorry, and I hope all those impacted here find a non-toxic company to work for that treats you like people and not like HPE
it all makes sense now
When self-righteous, privileged people are running the company, the results shouldn’t surprise anyone. Places like HPE end up operating like a corporate aristocracy. A lot of the people who got laid off weren’t failures, they just wouldn’t think or act the way leadership wanted them to.
Coincidence? Nah.
Wouldn’t be the first time they tried to paper over deeper problems with a new DEI initiative and call it innovation.
When Neri took over, zero women on his direct reports. A few years later it’s 50/50, the board matches, and executive bonuses were literally tied to diversity targets. They even put a public goal in the 10-K to double Black and Hispanic executive headcount by 2027.
Same company that spent years saying “differences of experiences and perspectives” drive performance… while the stock just got cut in half.
Innovation, right.
