Microfocus spinoff vs dxc vs hpe
Does anyone think the MF spinoff could come out as the most successful entity out of the three mentioned? Dxc is a disaster and it seems MW is getting ready to take HPE private. The Microfocus venture can't do worse than these two, can it?

June 19th- who stays, who goes?
June 19th is the rumored day for WFR's... is it going to be primarily out of one group/country? Sticking with the older employees? No one feels safe anymore... such a shame!
2500 layoffs estimate
Assuming that each employee costs approximately $100K per year, then HPE would need to layoff approximately 2500 employees to reduce costs by $250M. That would mean that one out of every 22 employees at HPE will get the ax by the second quarter.
15% getting cut
Just found out that more lay-offs are happening today in Enterprise Security products.
Mark my words
Within 1 year HPE will go private and be bought by a private equity firm or sold to a Chinese company like Lenovo.
