Who in their right mind would ever work for or with HPE ever again. I know I will never recommend any HPE products ever again. HPE leadership has no moral compass.
HPE will be a penny stock in the near term if they are not bought out and re-branded. No leadership or innovation at HPE. Too much bad sentiment from all their failed restructuring efforts and laying off so many thousands of employees now and over the last two decades.
CPQ Merger was definitely the beginning of the end for HP(E). That's what happens when you take someone with no knowledge of technology and make her CEO of a technology company. To Carly, IT was PCs and servers, because that's what she saw and understood. Carly is extremely intelligent but her ego was too big and fragile to admit to herself that there were topics that she didn't know the first thing about–so she focused on what she knew.
Walter Hewlett also shares much of the blame. That spoiled, entitled trust fund baby was offended that the HP board had the nerve to schedule a board meeting to discuss the CPQ merger on a weekend when they knew he played his cello in an annual concert. That concert brought down one of America's greatest companies.

@v@7cjq+16Xbh9Nh " I remember during the CF days, CPQ people loved her." WRONG! I worked for Compaq and loved it. I hated that we merged with HP. I didn't know a single person who liked CF. HPE is now smaller and doing less than what CPQ did 21yrs ago!
"Neither did we before the merger, but unlike CPQ, HP wasn't on the verge of collapse. The CPQ channel stuffing was coming to a head and CPQ would have gone down without HP"
HP/HPE is good at buying companies and destroying them. Look at HPE now. Hope you brought your swimsuit.

I remember during the CF days, CPQ people loved her, HP folks not so much. Of course the CPQ people knew what would have happened to them had she not ridden to their rescue. To this day I wonder what she was thinking. That merger was the beginning of the end for HP.

“ Any pre-merger CPQ site is like that. HP sites still have some HP left in them“
You are right HP/HPE sites still have layoffs, at a minimum, annually. Don’t remember even a single lay-off at CPQ before HP bought it.

“The amount of competition and backstabbing is mind-blowing.”
I agree about the backstabbing. But there is no competition.. everyone left here is as useless as t!ts on a boar.
I worked in the HPE Houston office. In order to get a promotion or keep your job, it’s all about who likes you and who doesn’t. The amount of competition and backstabbing is mind-blowing.
Look at all the stock he's sold out recently too here. Over 25 million dollars while us peons have to take pay cuts and watch things collapse. https://www.gurufocus.com/insider/neri+antonio+f/name

"Outsource to India cos US employees lack motivation and skills"
Babu thinks he's got skills. Watch out for that cow.

I couldn't agree more with this post. Well said.
Informed today I was also WFR'd and in an US Engineering role.
Yet I see the same position is open in Bangalore now.
Speak English much?????
perhaps not as good as you, what do you think
"Are you sure HPE is the worse? Why not head to Union Pacific Railroad or Seaworld Entertainment to see what the fuzz are about? "
"Are these who HPE should be competing with? Even HP Inc is doing better not to mention other HPE competitors"

thats the american way,but HPE s—s worst of all
Hpe isn't the only company laying off. Even good places like Delta airlines made cuts, IBM demolished its North America workforce as well.
I'm sick of outsourcing to India
