Carly started HP's tumble, but it seems like her actions were a drop in the bucket compared to the damage Meg Whitman has caused. Thoughts?

Anyone else get the email from HPE showing a report of how much we cost the company in terms of Skype, Conferencing, and SharePoint? Big Brother is watching!

Going to CSC. My benefits are going up 55%. Getting us "in line" with CSC benefits package. Dusting off my resume now. We can't cut anymore, as our techs are burned out.

Is it just me or does HPE love to bash the competition? I'm listening to Bill Philbin talk about how it is not a good time to be in EMC / Dell, NetApp, IBM and so on but it is a great time to be at HPE. Do other companies talk badly about HPE? I... — read more

I am one of several on our team that took the 90% off-shore target seriously. Either through the on-going layoffs or bright sizing (the bright ones bail).

The entire high-tech industry has devolved into a purely mercenary endeavor. Does not matter the company as every company only cares about what has an individual accomplished lately. Companies accept and now want people to quickly move on or up, and... — read more 

I saw a post buried in another thread that the HPE severance package was dropping down to 4 weeks starting on 11/1. Can anyone confirm this?

Anybody else notice that one of the first persons that Hillary sought out after the final debate (she gave her a hug) was none other than Meg herself. Looks like the cabinet is in her future.
