What a disastrous quarter for HPE... Sorry for the guys that are still there, but I am SOOOOO glad to be out of that mega mess...

Finally Wall Steet is recognizing that all these layoffs - and the strategy of becoming a "box" seller - have been a disaster for the Company. It's incredible how she dared to blame ‘execution issues’ as one of the factors... I can easily see her... — read more

Interviewing is very different these days.

All recruiters (outside headhunters) are from India. All the calls are from Indian names. 99% of upper hiring managers are from India. The diversity is not there anymore in the valley. Don't mind this but when finding the right fit is really hard.

DXC.technology ... that's the new HPE CSC Company name.

The email went out to HPE staff about an hour ago. The email is very long and full of buzz words to get us geeked up (insert eye roll). What the announcement lacks is what the heck does DXC stand for? Did they just pick any three letters?? Why is the... — read more

How are WFRs decided?

Curious how HPE decides who gets WFR'd. Does a manager get told they have to let specific employees go? A certain $$ amount of salaries and they pick the employee(s)? A certain # of heads? I would logically guess that the manager decides which... — read more
