Topics regarding layoffs at HP (Hewlett-Packard)

At HP R&D Brazil, they announced that they are going to cut 55 employees (from a total of 300 or so) by the end of October FY16.

That is, by the end of this year. (This is Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre -- not São Paulo.) I won't be surprise if they close the entire R&D in Brazil. It s---s anyway. Thinking they can be in this layoff list, employees are unable to focus on... — read more

I see that some employees are filing a class action lawsuit against HP. I was laid off after 31 years with HP/EDS. I suspect it was age related. I just found this website and submitted my information. http://hpagediscriminationinvestigation.com/

25 Years and Out

Sounds paradoxical, but after 25 years I couldn't get out of HP fast enough, the place is an absolute textbook example of how to destroy a great business, over complicate everything, make it extraordinarily difficult to spend money with them, and... — read more

I saw this article today in LinkedIn. This guy really hit the nail on the head making fun of the HP missteps for so many years

I saw this article today in LinkedIn. The guy doesn't make direct reference to either HPQ or HPE, but it's more than obvious... He definitively hit the nail on the head. He doesn't seem to be a professional writer, so I doubt this gets spread to a... — read more 

HPE and Aruba...Tail wagging the dog. Just wait Aruba...once you are assimilated by the end of 2016 you will know how screwed you are.

HP Networking (Procurve Edge switches, H3C data center switches, IMC management sw) got "reverse" acquired by Aruba who promptly screwed the HP Network Field sales reps by doubling quotas and cutting territories in half all the while having no idea... — read more 

Good Bye HPI

I left HPI (HP Inc) a few months ago. Best decision I've ever made. I resigned because it was no longer worth it. I have a new job now and a lot more to be thankful for. Almost double the salary and 1/3 of the work. It's a win win situation. My... — read more 

No Longer a Customer

For the first time since 1982, I am no longer an HP customer. My last remaining HP product, a multifunction printer, died, and I replaced it with a non-HP brand. I cannot support a company that treats its employees so badly. I feel a bit conflicted... — read more

Hp One Run Program

The HP One Run needs help they have no idea how to run it. They increased the amount of mangers for my team from 2 to 4. And realigned a bunch of teams to make a big mess. So now instead of reporting to the BUR (Backup and Recovery) Manager like I... — read more

Our own internal IT help desk is outsourced.

I can't understand what they're f---ing saying when I call myIT for help. One time, they returned my call at 2 AM Pacific Time. Why can't we have L1 tech support here? They don't even know what they're doing.

Jumped ship.

Didn't ask for a WFR, didn't ask for anything. Just grabbed a different job, and bailed from the sinking ship after 24 years. It feels good not having a sword hanging over my head. HP works hard to make you feel that you are being compensated well... — read more

On the HPE side I support three accounts. One is US-Support only so all of the team is spread around the United States. The other two accounts rely primarily on offshore support. Both are in Inida. First off, my customers are in the United States, so... — read more

On Telecommuting and Layoffs at HPE

Thanks for all your work, but, you are laid off...

I'm there now in HP and they are looking to chop heads again. They are not looking at skill level or knowledge, strictly the bottom line. You work so many hours to make nonsensical decisions a reality and they change again when they realize that is... — read more

On HP Managers and Layoffs

Both HP and EDS will never learn from its past history! For one, it fixes its failed processes with new processes that are also failures. It moves it's management around instead of firing it's failed managers. Hardly anyone in a leadership role stays... — read more
