A few people keep posting in different threads about a huge layoff at HPE that took place in the past several days, yet I have heard or seen nothing of it. Anybody knows what that's all about?

I reckon a bunch of consultants?

Normal industry standard is to prepone Q1 expenditure to Q4. However, looks like HPE is doing reversal. It is postponing all unavoidable expenditures to Q1 just to show better results in Q4? If above is true, Q1 results would be extremely impacted... — read more

I was WFR'd this past June, and am now in a dispute with my state's employment office re whether taking my EDS pension reduces my unemployment insurance amount. It has to do with who the "base year" (year you were laid off) employer was. They say it... — read more 

How many have been laid off so far as part of the announced 5,000 by HPE? I don't understand why they would announce such a huge cut and then do nothing or very little about it for this long. Or am I missing something here?

I don't see anything that is going to help HPE in long term. This may be dying company. At the end, HPE Will not have its own existence. It may get end by acquisition by other entities (if other entity finds some value) It will end in place where it... — read more

Wonder if the Atlanta, GA based Storage Unit is "safe" Meg's layoffs. It would be a shame if the lot who fled IBM to go to HPE's Storage Unit were suddenly made "redundant". Given that most of them have been around for a year or less, who do you... — read more 

Yet another bloodbath here at HPE yesterday October 23, 2017. I’m a “lucky” one. No WFR. Yet. On the Storage side, apparently it is Nimble mgmt to the rescue. The new kids on the block will fix all the problems and processes. Legacy HP(E) and you are... — read more 

HPE Houston has been hit hard by layoffs - just venting.

HPE folks got a sweet box for Diwali, while the DXC would be given the WFR letters immediately after Diwali.

In today's "office hours" webcast the question of whether we should expect more layoffs or not was explicitly asked. The answer was rather blunt. Yes, in fact, we should expect further layoffs beyond what had already occurred.

Rumour has it that HPE will use the analyst call this week to announce Meg's departure, which would explain her recent stock dump. Anyone else heard this?

Ignore the useless HPE management and HR. If you are spending most of your time helping your boss to survive and not learning new things for more than 6 months, you should find a job and leave. The longer you stay, the harder you will be able to find... — read more
