Does anyone feel pidgin holed with lack of career growth or lack of training?

I always thought it was pigeonholed. Not pidgin... I looked it up and I was right.
Anyway, you are responsible to grow and they will fight you every step of the way. Not a good company.
Pigeonholed is the word you are looking.
"you keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means"
Hello! If you go to Career Hub, you can get a mentor to help you develop your skills, there are also gigs which help you learn through experience, and we also have Percipio which has lots of great training and books for free. If you’re a people leader, keep an eye out for the leadership trainings emails. I’ve been on a few of those and they’re really good.
If a recession hits soon, you’re pretty scręwed not only if you get laid off but also looking for another job. HPE people has zero transferable skills for their next job. You’ll show up to their interview all confidently with your big tech “experience” then fall flat on your face when they ask you questions that you should know answers to given your years of work but actually don’t the answer because HPE taught you jack shįt about anything that you should know.
I’d hate to be at this company right now.
Also that was a simply “you’re not alone in that feeling” Ik working at juniper is probably irrelevant to helping you at HPE. But just know if you’re hanging on, hoping for some form of better opportunity with Juniper coming in, you better run now.
JNPR employee here, but YES. Been here 4 years, went through a whole graduate training program that was chaotic and a MESS. Have tried and tried to get anyone to clarify my role, expectations, and asks for any training….. might as well be ba----g my head into a brick wall.
HPE is not in the business of developing people anymore. It's all about extracting maximum value with minimal investment from employees, then discard the husks. Rinse and repeat.
Maybe you've been pigeonholed, due to your lack in learning the basics, such as not knowing the difference between, "Pidgin" and "pigeon."
Hmm?
