Did layoffs happen and I missed it?

Why are people saying their last day is tomorrow? I didn't hear anything about layoffs since the original announcement and I highly doubt that's something that could fly under the radar. Are people trolling or am I missing something here? Please... — read more

I'm getting worried

I've submitted over two dozen applications since last month and so far I've gotten no bites. I usually had no issues landing an interview before now, so to say that I'm starting to worry would be an understatement. I think there are too many of us... — read more

Odds of being laid off?

If HP has over 50,000 employees and plans on laying off 6,000 isn’t that only around 10% of the workforce being laid off or about 1 person laid off for every 10 people employed at the company? If this is true then doesn’t that mean that most of us... — read more

Get out now

This is your last chance to try and find a new job before the tech job market completely collapses. I have no intention of putting myself in such a situation and neither should you.

Never stop looking for new opportunities

The job market right now is not good in IT. And if your primary work experience the last 10 years or more has been exclusively HP, you’re in an even worse situation UNLESS you have been able to gain significant experience with Cloud. If all you know... — read more

I wish we knew more

I think it's unfair to drop a bo-b that 6k employees will be laid off over the next three years and not provide any additional info. It would be great to know if the management plans to implement a few major rounds or if we're looking at constant... — read more 

Stop quitting!

Make them lay you off! Make HP pay a hefty price to get rid of you if the management wasn't willing to pay to keep you. Attrition at this point helps nobody but the management. What do you have to lose if you wait a bit longer to make sure you're not... — read more

How does HP determine who gets laid off?

How much of the decision is on the employee's direct manager? I'm going to assume that the pay plays a part in it but some of the decision must be based on how well somebody is performing their role and how essential they are to their team and/or... — read more 

Thankful that we have a job

My manager behaves exactly like that, as if none of us have any other option, and therefore should be grateful that we still have a job here. I assume that other managers also have this attitude?

It was high time that HP cuts dead wood

I absolutely understand if this post gets downvotes, but the truth is that the company has many people who have been doing almost nothing for a long time and it's a good thing for the company to be getting rid of dead wood. I think the ratio of... — read more

Let the WFRs begin

Layoffs began first thing this morning. Nothing like getting let go just before the holidays. Why does HP have a habit of laying off people just before Thanksgiving? They know companies won't start hiring until after New Years.

I feel like I'm being pressured to quit

I have a feeling they want to save on severances and are now putting pressure on some of us to quit. The expectations have become completely unreasonable and the verbal abuse by my manager has intensified in the last month or so. I can't go to HR... — read more
