So Dan Belanger couldn't bake up a good quarter for North America so he's been sacrificed as an offering for the pending quarterly announcement gods. Once the Q3 numbers are released on the 25th plan on more layoffs through Q4.

Dan Belanger was fired. Went to AWS and was also fired. The dude is unhinged and has an HR file a mile long. Narcissistic behavior only takes you so far
Beach House Hunters
Seasons 6
Episode 4
"Family Home on the Cape" (Cape Cod)
Dan and his wife were on an episode of Beach House Hunters or something like that on HGTV. So I've heard. I have not seen it.
HGTV ?? What’s that about
he is a great sales leader. probably went to amazon or microsoft
otherwise he had a 30 year package waiting for him anyhow. enough to retire off of at his pay grade
I was wondering how long it would take to comment on Dan’s departure. Maybe his HGTV spot was too capitalist for Antonio? Dan may have actually decided to bail on his own. There are various schools of thought floating around. I like Dan and he has done well for himself at HP/HPE. I hope that he resurfaces at a startup.
Everyone knows that change is coming in September. The fall shuffle. Many internal reqs that are posted are not funded. Anyone still with HPE needs to be looking outside of HPE. Like many other companies, the C19 impact is real for HPE. However, it also provided cover for the operations and development sh– show that existed pre-COVID.
Typo... below...
I meant to say, "At this time", instead of "At this space", not sure what I was thinking... Perhaps quantum mechanics.
HPE's expected EPS is already so low (from external sources)... with a wooping $0.23 per share. But their expected EPS has been wrong before...
But I agree, expect more layoffs. Neri has a two year restructuring plan. I said in a previous post that HPE wouldn't hold their $10+/share stock price for too long. But at this space, they could be right back where they started at the beginning of the covid situation with less than $9/share.
I've been laid off from the company since last month but I can tell you that nothing was really done long before my layoff.
February: "Hmm... That covid thing is getting pretty bad in China and there's a some cases here in the US. Hopefully we can contain that so that we won't have to leave the office."
March: "It's getting bad in New York, hope that c-ap doesn't come our way."
April: "When can we come back into the office?"
May: "When can we come back into the office? I'm desperate for work. Can I do some work for product management and marketing? Engineering literally has nothing to do. Wait, how much money did our BU make in Q2? That's not good."
June: "Can I get special permission to get back into the office? I need to verify this new solution... I've been working on this customer solution for since late May... Oh... You're going to lay me off? Well, c-ap."
July: "I'm demotivated to do anything. What work do you expect me to do? What are you going to do? Fire me? Oh "
August: "This company is going to heck. At this point I'm only concerned about my friends from HPE. At least I got my severance pay now."
Hi, I'm captain obvious and I created this thread.
