HPE Vertica gets thinner once again
Sneaky Monday morning layoffs a really bummer of a way to start the month of May.
Dallas Layoffs
3 in the Dallas area today were WFR 2 field engineers 1 ASM took the oldest age people in the group. HPE is really going down fast.

layoffs in HPE cloud professional services
Several people got the axe today in HPE cloud professional services or pointtext, whatever the call it these days . all in the US, Including the manager.
Complaining about OT as an exempt salaried employee? No such thing as OT.
You want to leave the company and expect them to make it easy for you with benefits payouts? Wake up and grow up. No, you don't get a bonus if WFRd in any quarter. Why would any manager give someone leaving a bonus? No, you don't get paid unused... — read more

I was offered a position for HPE 3PAR support, is it worth it?
I was offered a position for technical support for 3pars. It is a 6 month contract to permanent position and pays low to mid 40's. I dont like that the health care through the contractor is $450 a month and close to $800-1000 if you have a spouse or... — read more
H1Bs for Meg
HPE has recently WFR'd a number of software engineers in Fort Collins. So why then are they applying for H1B visas for 10 software engineers??? (it's a rhetorical question .... I know the answer) http://www.myvisajobs.com/H1B-Visa/LCA.aspx?ID=5047703... — read more

Military Veterans “Out There”, Hello? HPE Culture is Hostile to Vets…
I think we all know by now that HPE discriminates against older folks. See http://hpagediscriminationinvestigation.com/ and supporting links there… I will leave it at that. What is clearly less-often commented on, is that HPE culture is fundamentally... — read more
Guess HPQ was the place to be!
When the split happened everyone though HPE was the place for cool kids. Turns out you all are just getting killed out there. Good luck!

Anyone know for how long is the period for the CEO? 5 years?
Full time employees after divestitures
Does anyone know the downsized/targeted size of the company after everything is said and done?
eBay been baby, hire a real CEO
Can't keep the numbers up forever selling off and laying off. A good CEO should earn the money

HPE vs DXC retirement plan
Thoughts on how they compare?
HP Helion
HP Helion - This happened so quickly that if you blinked, you might've missed it. HP has had various toes dipped into various cloud projects over the years, but in 2014 they launched Helion as their Openstack-based cloud... only to sunset it less... — read more
Ciber Bankruptcy
Did anyone else see that Ciber (who HPE unwillingly shoved hundreds of workers to over a year ago) has filed for bankruptcy? So many current and former HPE ES employees are just getting screwed all the way around. This whole fiasco is just sad.
Moved from HPE to DXC to Get laid off
What a plan. Move HPE employees by the droves to this acknowledged failure corporation. HPE will not survive like it's DXC smoke and mirrors company.
April 3rd layoff in 3PAR
There were some layoffs in 3PAR in SQA on April 3rd. What is happening?
HPE retirees
As someone who was GM/EDS/HP - RIF'd in 2009 by HP - then started drawing my pension from HPE in 2015, any known changes to pension payments at this time? I personally hope they offer another pension lump sum payoff.
All the disgruntled employees have left to go to the DXC board
Seems like Meg and her minions are off the hook now. No more criticizing the fine decisions her and her staff have made or will make. Good Luck all employees and retirees. They are One lucky group. Now lets see how her decisions pan out. GLTA
For All of You HPE Inventors Out There…
My recent experiences as an HPE inventor have been two-fold: One… In the older days, not more than a few years ago, one could put in “blue sky patents”, not related to anything that HP / HPE (or you) has / have actually built or tested, or even... — read more

Outgoing HPE workers stripped of gym cards and cushy remnants
After you done being angry, crying, and have run out of alcohol, sometimes a sense of humour is all that remains. Gave me a chuckle, a line from the article: "On the bright side, at least DXC employees won't face the embarrassment of potentially... — read more
Top execs leaving HPE
Another one left this week... What's going on?
CSC Severance Package. Does anyone in CSC know what the current severance package is for US Employees.
What's it going to look like in DXC?
Plano layoffs could be as soon as April 7th?
Chatter in the hallways is some of us will get the DXC "welcome package" the first week of DXC. What are other areas of AMS hearing?
Started my new job with a new employer last week. Thank God. My Goal is to find a new job for everyone I left behind. DXC will make slaves of
you all. Now you have three layers of Corporate Greed HPE, CSC and DXC who will drop you the crumbs of that Big fat labor rate. Remember, each corporation will have shareholder, BoDs and top management to satisfy and you will always come last. Please... — read more
