HP can't afford to return to the HP Way. They just aren't profitable enough to cover that expense.
If you really do work at HP, then you know that layoffs are rare between Oct 31 and Jan 1st of the new year. HP does not like to get rid of people around the holidays because it is terrible for morale for the people who remain.
I just heard that the inside sales team has been laid off and will be outsourced to Webhelp. If further layoffs occur, it will be announced this week; otherwise, it will happen after November 1st.
How's the newish SVP of Consumer Services doing? I hear there's been a recent big change in direction or "pivot" there LOL
Don't be silly. Consumer Services just consists of managers and their cronies who can only talk and built PowerPoint slides. Check their resumes: never build any services themselves from the ground up.
Where is the CS team of software coders and creative people who can actually execute and build stuff?
It is a money pit the HP doesn't need at this point in time. They will pi-s off the core customers even more with their shenanigans like the HP+ team and then move
It's jerks like the OP who make HP a place no longer worth working at. The "new HP way" is all about stock price, stockholder perception, and bottom line numbers, and NOT about the employees.
Unfortunate there isn't more enthusiasm here about the new direction that the Consumer Services thought leaders are charting for a new HP way
Oh I just looooove hearing about company success when I'm being told that I'm getting laid off from HP. Just love it. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not part of the bottom line and that less significant roles like... consumer experiences (seriously wtf even is that) outweigh engineering roles being eliminated.
Goes to show where the company's strategy is. Less product, more business.
"Going back to the old HP Way will be the quantum leap forward, actually."
The company is too far gone to return to the old HP way. The entire culture has been decimated for greed. The current leadership is looting what it can from the company through dividends and stock buybacks while closing US locations.
Going back to the old HP Way will be the quantum leap forward, actually.
What does this have to do with layoffs? Are you the same person who posted you love Instant Ink? Are things so bad at HP that you need to post nonsense like this?
