Xerox lost its fight to keep corporate raiders from breaching it's defenses due to some self-serving moves on the former CEO's part. Now those same C-Suite servants of Icahn are tasked with parlaying their temporary gains at Xerox to much higher... — read more 

Xerox taking over HP? Go to the Xerox page on this site and read the posts. What's striking is the vitriol and absolute loss of decorum. I'm reminded of the great zombie movie 28 Days Later. The virus will spread rapidly through HP if Xerox breaks... — read more 

Many CW's are reporting that their agencies have been requested by HP to take an additional 5 days off before the end of January. This is in addition to the 2 week shut down that all of HP has at the end of the year.

The hostile takeover chats on here were both deleted all if a sudden....

Don’t let Xerox take you over. I worked for them for many years and I now work for an HP dealer. Sales are drastically picking up as customers like HP copiers and people are becoming aware HP is in the A3 market. Be patient and HP will succeed. A... — read more 

If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be HP Layoffs 2020? Any news or rumors?

To all current HP employees, please aggressively look for opportunities outside of the company. Be willing to take a slight pay cut or fewer benefits if necessary. Trust me, taking the risk of changing employers will only benefit you long-term. There... — read more 

Take a look at Conduent. Xerox bought ACS to expand services. Icahn spun it off after raiding Xerox to form Conduent. Now it's buried in debt. All Xerox employees that transferred are long gone. We are living through the final chapter of the HP &... — read more

I just went through the Xerox page on this forum and now I'm regretting that big time. If we thought things are bad here, there they seem to be at least two times worse. Now I'm left praying that this whole acquisition doesn't go through. Who... — read more 

The HP employees who remain after restructuring will have to accept Xerox benefits.

Everyone that applied for early enhanced retirement was approved. The deal was great and if you didn’t apply you miss a great opportunity since layoffs are coming after EER

I feel sorry for all the employees of HP. Our leadership team exists only for the short term goal of funneling money to Carl Icahn. The office is ruled by apathy and despair. Don't need large layoffs because people are quiting in large numbers every... — read more

Mark Hurd, Oracle CEO, has died: https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/18/tech/mark-hurd-dead/index.html

All print R&D and QA is shutting down. Moving elsewhere. Anyone in the US better start looking....it's shutting down faster than anyone thought.

3 people in my department are taking the early retirement package. They will leave in February 2020. The retirement age was lowered to 50 for this round of offers. It use to be 55. It may start looking like a ghost town around here next year.

What are the chances that these layoffs are tied to the increase of H1B denials?

Commenter on another thread said Boise will be closed by 2022. Is that insider info, or just speculation?

it's no wonder HP is in trouble again.

Any idea which teams would be impacted by WFRs

The guy leading the failing printer business is replacing DW. Hmm, maybe DW was asked to find a health issue he needed to address? Maybe EL wasn’t being allowed to take these new “ bold and decisive” steps? People are usually replaced in these... — read more 

Rumors of Building 65 closing. Only one year left on lease. Remaining folks will move into Building 61. Guess where that will go....

Here we go again. It never stops. They will now increase executive bonuses, starting with Lores and Fieler. I'd bet it'll be 9,000. We'll see what happens. HP to slash 7,000 to 9,000 jobs over three years as part of major restructuring ... — read more

Hearing of rumors of wage freezes in print. How true is that?

Random question. How many HP sites have been shut down permanently?

https://www.crn.com/news/channel-programs/crn-exclusive-hp-to-launch-new-organizational-structure-appoint-first-ever-chief-commercial-officer Looks like more WFR?

What do you all think of the White Box toner partnership with Xerox? That should improve the toner business.

Things must be picking up. Two new hires in my department announced today. Both CW's but that means there is work and HP can afford to hire more people. Print division.

Inreresting

The page admins have recently deleted many new comments and posts. How much are they paid by HP? Anyways this may get deleted too. Many rumors ongoing about imminent closure of the San Diego site and of course layoffs. Any updates?

So far all the CW furloughs (in the print division) are to take place before the end of July 2019. Has any CW been asked to take off more time beyond the last day in July? The end of Q3 is at the end of July. Typically any word of WFR for regular... — read more
