I would hate to admit that I'm just now comfortable witnessing the final demise of both companies. I apologize to all the current employees that will be impacted (it's not your fault at all - you are doing your best, considering all the chaos going on there), but although I've tried, I can't forgive "the Company" for the way they screwed up my life without any consideration after being there for 28 years. It really angers me that the same people that are destroying both HPI and HPE are the ones that will end up with their pockets full, but I can't wait for the Goliath's prophecy to become a reality. There's absolutely no way I'll buy any products from them again, and all my friends and family members support me on that as well. Schools, small businesses, church... Each and every time someone asks me about which product to buy, you can bet it's not an HP. Now, my dear Meg & ###lickers... Imagine the same attitude on at least a small percentage of the people you have kicked out like ####... No wonder your revenues are being impacted. The end is near.... Very, very near...

Sweet sweet schaudenfreude. Watching HPE writhe.
You're not alone. I loathe HPE. I'm enjoying these posts way too much!!
I had to Google it... Lol! - "Schadenfreude" is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This word is taken from German and literally means "harm-joy". It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune.
Schanfruede, pure and simple.
@IGUChGO - I hear you but you have to let go bro. I was laid off in 2014 and I still visit here. You have to get rid of all the anger and take a more neutral stance as the anger will only hurt you.
I'm with you, @IGUChGO... There's no way I'll ever buy again anything with an HP or HPE label on it. I'm part of the Layoff 'Class' of April 2011...
Under other circumstances I would have recommended a psychologist or an anger management seminar, but with a layoff after 28 years of service... Sir, I fully understand and respect your point of view... I would recommend though that you stop checking any news related to these companies. I'm sure you are doing much better now, and keeping all that anger inside of you only hurt you and the people around you. The Company won't give a crap if your blood pressure gets high, or if you get sick. Keep in mind that we - current employees - didn't have anything to do with your situation 2 years ago. If you wish the Companies to fail, you are wishing thousands and thousands of employees to live the same nightmare you had. I know it should have been very traumatic, but please, think a bit about it, and I hope you sooner or later come to the same conclusion.
