Storage
HPE is selling close to 1500 3pars a month currently and is hiring more agents, although they are 6 month contractors to perm to support it, so they are not giving up on it. Storage might be the only area in HPE that looks good for now.
Turnover with exec management in Storage. What's the future of storage?
What will happen to storage? Execs are being shuffled around on a weekly basis. People are "retiring" to move on to different ventures as they put it. What will happen to 3PAR, which is supposed to be the biggest storage program? What about Storeserv... — read more

Will there be layoffs in Manila?
I heard a rumor that there will be massive layoff in Manila. I hope they consider trimming the management level roles first because they don't add much value to the organization. This is just my opinion.

Why call these layoffs?

Layoffs happening now at HPE (the old labs) Palo Alto
I recieved an unofficial layoff notice this week, but was wondering if anyone knows when we will actually get the paperwork.
Auntie Meg (I can't call her Granny, as I'm 67 years old), is simply brilliant...
She focuses all the efforts on a few market categories, and let other slip little by little. Then, those that slip, are sold or spin off because they are not part of the "core" business anymore. She realizes that by breaking the Company in pieces... — read more

"Diversity" used in HPE as a word to justify layoffs and sending jobs overseas to lower cost Countries.
