OK, so what do we know so far? There will be a split in November 2015, but are we going to be laid off in November or do we have more time? It'd be stupid if they were to let all 30,000 people go at the same time, so I think that we, especially HPE... — read more
It's time we all stood up to HP's UNETHICAL TREATMENT
Like our US counterparts at Ciber, i think Adecco and Modis employees in Canada, the US, or wherever you are should also stand up to HP and their disgraceful practices! Make our voices heard, inform local and national news stations such as CBC that... — read more
The silence
The silence is deafening. The silence is deafening.The silence is deafening. Almost 48 hours since the news about the impending layoffs hit the news services and yet there has been nothing in my HP email about this except for an invitation to watch... — read more
Executives at HP do not understand the concept of "leadership"
I really enjoyed being reminded by Meg personally how she and her buddies were partying in Barcelona, Spain for the last 3 months of 2014 in almost daily e-mails (apparently entertaining our "customers" in Europe? The ones we ended up bribing and... — read more

Revisiting Contracts (US and Canada)
This is ridiculous, disgusting, and unethical! My dad in Toronto was given the EXACT same offer that the Ciber folks got except it was from Adecco/Modis and he is NOT an hourly worker. So why on earth have the Ciber contracts been revisited and not... — read more
Is the ciber offer even legal?
how can a company transfer an employee to another company which is not its subsidiary. Why refusing to that offer means you forfeit your severance? When you get laid off is it not mandatory for the company to provide severance or compensation?
Bad spending priorities
I left HP Services earlier this year, partly because I was tired of watching them toss money away on pointless projects while good people were losing their jobs. There was one group in Services that reserved penthouse suites at all partner trade... — read more
Adecco Offer
Offer in. A fraction of my current psy. Can no longer afford to work here. A decade of work down the tube. What they don't know is I'm the 1st to get an offer here and all my employees know about it. They are about to see 100 refusals of these low... — read more
The Number to be laid off will be MUCH LARGER
The Number to be laid off will be MUCH LARGER -- "The number is sadly larger than some people might have expected, but I think it's a reflection of how much trouble HP has been having with its services," said Charles King, analyst at the Silicon... — read more
HP Split: What is a growth strategy for the two new companies?
After 22 years here, I am perplexed and utterly puzzled. Such a big move, breaking HP into two parts, it's massive and very complicated operation. But what two parts of HP will do in order to grow? What is a growth strategy for the two new companies?... — read more

Renegotiating Contracts with Ciber and Adecco
Has anyone heard anything more about HP renegotiating contracts with Ciber and Adecco employees, it was from a Business Insider article last week. Does this affect Canadian employees as well?
Some inside info from our fine HP HR ladies: We are doing this only to whip everyone back into shape out of fear for being let go....
...but there won't actually be a layoffs. Just need everyone to work hard as we enter new, high growth areas. On the enterprise side. HP knows that great talent takes a long time to build, and it'd be extremely short sighted to get rid of people and... — read more
HP Disappointed and Betrayed Me and My Colegaues
I used to work for another large global company where there also was a huge layoff, not much unlike the job cutting wave we are facing here at HP today. The CEO was like any other CEO, pretty tough and even more aggressive in language and attitude... — read more
Total of 88 000 jobs will be gone.
Meg Whitman is planing to cut about 88 000 jobs. Apparently, they want to 'maximize the shareholder return’.
HP shares are losing value.
HP shares are not valuable at they were last year. No wonder we are having the job crisis now.
HP layoffs.
Why work a lot of hours for pay that is not competitive.
Question for Ciber, Addeco and Modis "transfers"
Do you get to work from home? It seems like I heard something about this, but just curious if contractors are being required to work in HP facilities or if they are being allowed to telecommute. It might be the only worthwhile benefit in the deal for... — read more
Is HP right for you?
Lots of turn over. No raises. I don't think so.
HP Layoffs
I've been working for HP for about a year and I was just laid off yesterday. I can't trust any company now.
HP CEO and layoffs
Is Meg Whitman doing the right thing?
Volunteer for layoff?
I work for HPE, and would like to volunteer for layoffs in order to hopefully obtain some severance. I have almost 6 years in with the company. Are there any managers on this forum who can advise on how I could go about doing this? I have a fairly... — read more
HP layoff
Cutting 30 000 jobs, saves 2 billion annually. What about 30 000 people?
Too bad HP is splitting in half.
HP was founded in one of the Palo Alto's garages. It was once one of the largest co of Silicon Valley. Unfortunatelly, it is struggling in sales and they had to make a move.
HP will probably default on NGEN to can its highest paid engineers
My prediction... they are losing millions every month on a poorly negotiated contract (which the richly rewarded executives responsible already collected their bonuses for, and likely used inside information to underbid the competition). They will... — read more
Think your job at HP is safe. I wouldn't bet on it
HP said it was moving more of its workers to lower-cost locations as part of its efforts to cut costs. In its 2013 fiscal year, the company said 36 percent of its employees in enterprise services worked in what it called low-cost locations. This year... — read more
Meg the slasher .
She has already cut 50,000 jobs at HP now she is slashing 30,000 more. She was paid more than 19.6 million last year One of the things making Whitman's compensation package so sweet: a huge golden parachute. Whitman would get nearly $91 million if HP... — read more
HP is Hopeless
Shame, the HP system itself is broken. The number of times I witnessed bad practices or the professional code of conduct broken in my department were too many to recount and when it got to the point where I had to do something about it (use of racist... — read more
Another round of massive job cuts at HP, massive, yet too much silence
Most of the HP visitors of the layoff site are passive, not even writing their thoughts on this free site. Hope they are active at work :) HP-ers be active, raise your voice when you see unprofessional behavior at work, that is the only way to make... — read more

Management cannot attract younger, smarter people with their 1950's style of management
HP is out of date, out of touch and with the brain drain caused by their actions they will always be behind the eight ball within the industry. Many of management do not even have a clue what their employees are working on. Management is old, their... — read more
Layoffs? What about rewards that get trimmed down more and more every year? Sucky raises, minimal bonuses? Shame on you HP.
OK, now layoffs. Thank you. After all the effort to 'save the project', 'keep the client', tons of weekends, overtime galore, now we will cut 30,000 people. For what? More bonuses for the exec line up. I joined 28 months ago from a smaller consulting... — read more
HP is running out of people to can
I used to be scared, I am not any more. If they go through with the plan (and they will) everyone will be axed.
The recent decline in Hewlett-Packard stock buybacks is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE
Meg should react swiftly and immediately fire another 30,000 people. Additional 20,000 on-shore folks should be replaced with off-shore resources.
