is as strong as a used car lot. Sales bullying. Constant escalations. Squeezing people until they offshore their jobs. If Alan May wants a reality check, ask anyone in a customer facing role in the US that is not sales.

The HPE culture left for Nvidia, AMD, Lenovo, etc. What is left is the DEI husk of a company.
This company will never be missed by the market. It's just a paycheck to me.
Support role has also turned into a joke, get the customers to buy the highest care, and then we push that care to India,
Get your onshore team to perfect everything, then once perfected, push it to India.
Then try to have everyone buy into Greenlake, and then sit there daily believing the lies of future work is coming and you're still important, all knowing that they're trying every bit possible to get rid of your job to India.
I'm a supplier of HPE.
I was checking in to get my guest badge a few weeks ago. I used to work for HPE in 2017 so I'm familiar with your executives.
Alan May was within my earshot as I was sitting in the lobby. He was talking to the security staff. He was talking about his start of his career in the 70s and literally said, "That was probably before you all were born." To which one of the security staff said, "Oh no, I had a job at that time, in 1976." Alan just nervously laughed and walked away. Awkward...

Thankfully with the declining quality of all products, and the customers fleeing to our competitors across business segments, this problem will take care of itself. Alan May has multi-millions of reasons as to not want to acknowledge any sort of reality (he just sold a couple million of those reasons in the last 1.5 years or so).
