Layoffs at levels not seen in many years coming in the fall. Be prepared for the worst. That is the new HPE way. Weak earnings and an inflated purchase of juniper networks means they have to reduce cost.

Here comes Q4, how many WFRs will Antonio need before the end of the financial year so he can continue getting massive bonuses and share options?
I was WFRed in May of 2017. I check in here occasionally just for the heck of it.
It sounds like the unstable company that I left behind (through no direct fault of my own) is even more unstable now even seven years later.
My impression of Neri has always been an impression of someone that makes everything up as he goes along.
The only advice I can offer is to save every penny that you can for retirement.
It saved my bacon because the WFR happened after I had already paid off all of our major debts.
The HP retirement was my only income until I became eligible for Social Security at 62. Waiting to become 66 and 10 months for the maximum SS benefit was not an option.
Cloud is a slippery slope. It is often marketed as a cloud when in reality, much of it is a data center. Data centers and clouds do the same things for the end user. The big difference is how they are managed. So, to see the difference, you have to be on the cloud/data center floor and see how things are managed. Clouds will dynamically detect performance issues and add and move virtual resources to improve performance. In a pure data center, people must see the issues as reported and take action to correct.
It is very easy to sell a cloud and deliver a hybrid cloud/data center solution. The ability to implement a fully functional cloud is not easy or inexpensive.
It's just constant layoffs at this stage, quarter after quarter and year after year. How sad but not too unexpected considering how poor the company management is.
HPE is where despair comes to die. Rember it only get worse before it gets worse!
That's the HPE way.
So far, I have been contacted twice by former coworkers about open positions at HPE. Sorry, I am making 45% more than when HPE offshored my job and I left with a package. HPE is being run into the ground by numbskulls. That’s why everybody is jumping ship.
They must be planning on cutting product lines, because most product teams are cut way below the "core". We are running on fumes, and already severely understaffed.
Yep. Fidelma sh-----g the bed in hybrid cloud. If Tony don’t replace her in fall, sales will be toilet water. Worst leader we’ve ever had and I been here decades.
