We have all heard it before at an all employee meeting that Meg's goal is that hpe will become a successful leaner hybrid it company in 3-5 yrs and will be leaner and stronger than ever.
Is there a future in servers at hpe?
Is there a future in storage at hpe ?
Is there a future in networking at hpe?
Is there a future in cloud at hpe?
Or is it best to just start over elsewhere if you make a little over $40k
A future for anything related to Whitman? No. She's made herself, and her company a pariah in the eyes of the Trump administration.
Just have to follow the end game. The goal is to improve shareholder profits and Meg's portfolio. This can be done by cutting costs (i.e. employees) to increase margins which bump up the stock price (which Meg gets lots of options). Split the company several times so that the top shareholders get more stock and improved margin and eventually make the parts more attractive to being sold where the shareholders get a nice payday.
Moral of the story is to be a shareholder, not an employee. Meg will probably double or triple her net worth by the time she says goodbye and doesn't face the fallout from the flaming pile left behind.
@jidb, asking for bios is one thing, but asking for employee photos for a manager's meeting sounds like an obviously discriminatory tactic to determine race, ethnic background, or AGE as part of staffing decisions. Why else would they request a photo? Skillset is covered in the biosketch text.
35 year employee here. We were asked to submit a short bio with a picture for a huge manager's only meeting going on as I type this. I hope I do well on the auctioning block.

You can make more than that driving Uber and running other small businesses on the side.
If it's a box that sales can sell, then yes, it has a future. But boxes don't have a future in a composable world unless HPE wants to make the world's rack servers.
Storage, if it's a box, will survive. Again, no future in a world where people are buying cloud.
Networking? Haha no.
Cloud? They already murdered cloud and threw the body to SUSe. Sales will just resell Azure.
HPE in 3-5 years will be making boxes in a world where making boxes is only important to companies that still run their own servers. And for most companies, that won't make any sense.
I would run. And do it before Trump wrecks the economy and then discovers he can't just file for bankruptcy.
The downhill slide has gone too far to be reversed by anyone, we are now in free-fall mode. Whatever bits and pieces are left in a few months will be acquired by another company or a private equity firm.
I don't, that is why I am officially leaving HPE.
Too bad, my coworkers were nice and so were my manager.
It is sad that such a selffish woman is putting everyone at risk.
Meg Whitman comes from a privileged family and background. People think because she has gone to the best of everything (google her bio) that she knows what she is doing. Wrong she is out of touch, arrogant, not in touch with reality, and looney at that after changing political parties. The Mad Money host laughs at her when she is on CNBC. Look at what our PEOTUS Trump has done since Nov 10. Trump has failed many times in the past and has learned from his failures while Meg has not. Meg's modus operandi now is to shed as much of HPE as she can, sell the company and go into philanthropy or some other so called noble cause. It's a sad state of affairs for such a great company. There are people out there that can mold and create a new HPE except there is too much BS to overcome to get there. Time will tell.
Repeat after me, there is NO future at HPE in Anything, Anytime, Anywhere. If Meg's lips are moving, she is lying. By the way, the previous poster gave you the answers to your questions.
