I don't think you all realize how many CE's, support staff, and logistics went in to taking care of the customer on the front line. It's a major move and it reduces headcount substantially. This isn't just another layoff.
Thought they spun off all the services people to DXC.
It's for pointnext. Read clearly
There’s no way point next has 25k employees. This has to be total head count.
To be clear, the article references HPE Pointnext only.
HPE is a low battery. Just like their logo.
wow, sure that linkedin posting from the emperor does say that 25000 global employee count. Didn't know. That tells a lot about the misfortunes afflicting the company over the last 20 years.
Back in the heydays, just a couple of US campuses alone of HP would have that many employees.
