Rumor has it that there will be some sort of "push" to turn most or all of GSD into contractors. After The Meggot got rid of ALL (or almost all) of USA-wide contractors about 1/2 year ago, there is now (post-Emperor-Nero) a push to get contractors BACK again! For servers testing, that is, in Houston, for example. And... I know this will SHOCK you... They are chintzing them down to the lowest pay possible! You want to write script files and test and debug servers for $45 k/yr absolute MAX? Then have at it! That's what contractors are being offered.
HPE will cut and cut and cut, and then try to fix it only after (whatever) limb has bled so much that it is turning green with sepsis and black with necrotic tissue (gangrene). Then they'll try and fix it with a band-aid and an aspirin.
"That which cannot go on and on, does not go on and on", someone once said... This ain't sustainable, folks!
