We all know about the lists at HPE, but tonight Trump said something g I hope HPE heard and employees jump on immediately. He said, NO more of companies forcing people to train their off shore replacements or loose severance. Now what company does that sound like??????
Join us in writing to Trump with the fact that HPE has lists with a layoff date for every employee in the US. That is just sick.
This posting sounds like some rabbits telling each other the hyena is our only savior. Deeply delusional.

Yes he met with Carly Fiorina yesterday about the National Intelligence position.
"Great Picks" .... sick! Most of the people he is appointing have no clue about the role they will be tasked to serve.
Hate to break it to you but... Trump aint gonna do squat. Things will continue as always.
People had dreams of "hope and change" from Obama, who promised the world but he didn't end up doing much.
Why should Trump be any different?
@2umh... Please, please, please, please tell me you are joking...
Trump is talking to Carly Fiorina about Director Of National Intelligence.
I think the Trump supporters are getting played.
Why do you Trumpheads think HPE is replacing workers here in the US with H1B visa holders? Why should they when they can simply bring in an easily disposable, American-born Ciber or Modis contractor who makes 20~40% less... or just fire them outright?
At any rate, Trump isn't going to do squat to his buddies at the country club for their indiscretions with the H1B program (which congress controls). Just like he dropped the notion he was going to prosecute Hillary, he's not going to go after Meg, either.
If Trump does nothing else, nailing HPE (and other companies) for their (ab)use of the H1B visa program, he would be doing American workers a huge favor. I vote that we should bring in an overseas person for Meg to train and give her the boot!
Ha, you all are so pessimistic. That's what the last 20 years of career politicians have made you all. The president elect is already making great picks to serve in his administration as he promised.
Regarding the Carrier employees whose jobs were saved. Yes, they are very thankful to have a job and to be paying taxes and their own health insurance, etc. Most people want to have dignity and work for their money and not just be handed money by the government while sitting around and doing nothing. May be hard for a liberal to understand that.
Well, that's fine for the HPE employees not part of SpinCo, since they won't count in Meg's numbers after March. They also represent a bulk of the US and EU employees. Expect most HPE employees in the SpinCo transition to either lose their jobs to contractors or be offered contractor positions. If your team is seeing an increase in contractors being hired, expect them to be there to replace, not supplement, the permanent employees.
Likewise, a ratio says nothing about the actual numbers of the workforce, which most certainly will be reduced. There is nothing anybody, not Trump, not congress... nobody except the HPE board... can do about outright reductions in the workforce. Notice that they've laid off workers and closed down quite a few facilities in "low cost" countries. That isn't improving their "golden ratio" is it?
When Meg is ready to jump ship, HPE will be a shell selling blades and boxes built on spec by other companies and only a handful of employees. It will be a name only with a slew of patent holdings, having burned most of their remaining customer relationships and corporate goodwill.
As for Trump, I guess he'll keep jobs in the US... low paying jobs that will make us a "low cost" nation by the time he is done. The workers at Carrier are questioning how good their fortune is, since they'll be taking pay and benefit cuts. Trump is also taking credit for the Softbank deal bringing 50,000 jobs to the US - a deal in the works long before he was elected and had nothing to do with, besides holding a press conference after the fact.
Let's face it, Trump supporters have been duped. How does that feel? Are you "loosing" confidence yet, or just too stubborn to admit it?
Currently the only plan is to layoff primarily U.S. employees until the number of employees in low cost locations worldwide hits 60%, where it's currently 50%.
So that's 20% or so, but not 100% of the US workforce.
Haha no, OP. Trump is full of crap, he doesn't give a sh-- about regular workers like you and me. Look up the actual facts on the Carrier deal for proof.
If you think that Trump is on the side of workers, you are completely deluded.
"...with the fact that HPE has lists with a layoff date for every employee in the US."
Please provide some "proof" that a list really exist. These sort of statements can make one very skeptical of posts such as these.
And no Trump... nor Obama... nor Bush.... nor Clinton... etc can "save' us. It is writing your Congressman as they make the laws that manage H1B programs and policies.
