By my count it is 160,000 since 2000 when the first "voluntary retirement" was offered.
Carly = 27,000
Hurd = 48,000
Whitman = 85,000
That is basically the entire population of the city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

I was one of the employee that's effected by the "workforce reduction." I don't think Meg Whitman has much visionary as a CEO. Nothing innovative from HPE in comparison to its competitors. In fact its more of a catching up and follow the leaders (Intel, Google and etc). The roadmap itself has no edge over the competitions. Only saving grace it might have are some government contracts it has due to the fact the servers have to be manufactured in the native soil.
Did Mark Hurd cut back on R&D engineering as well?

Wow... She is definitively the Queen...
Not sure about her predecessors, but the 85K number for Meg does not include spinoffs. ES to CSC alone is moving over 100K staff out of HPE. Those numbers are separate from WFRs.
I think there's a lot of overlapping there. Meg's ones are even more difficult to define, as I believe they include the spin offs, which are not necessarily layoffs per se. Still... Too many layoff. Multiply each layoff at least by 5, and you can realize the magnitude of all the people impacted in one way or another... So terrible...
