Politics. That is her next stop. She will take an assignment on Hillary's team to bolster her own campaign down the road. HPE is about to be taken over by private owners.

I wouldn't be surprised at all, if in 2018 HPE announces a mega-merger with SAP. Think about it... There's no way HPE will be able to survive long term just selling servers, and for sure it won't sell itself to either Oracle or Lenovo...

Fresh out of College on my first entry level job with HPE... Reading all the posts here feel pretty scary. I still don't understand well HPE's strategy (seriously, I'm not joking). If we are going to spin off Services, and most surely Software as... — read more

Selling the Company in pieces, thus lowering its total market capital value to a point that it can be acquired or merged. She is laser focused... She won't stop until her vision is completed and she leave with her pockets extremely full. This won't... — read more 

Just heard from someone who said their manager told him that starting next month, VPNs will be checked. No more badging in and going home. Now, they will be able to tell where we are working from.

I am still at HPE but have an offer on the table for a job with a much more stable company, great work & benefits, but a 20% pay cut. I really like the work I am doing at HPE. After a full review of my finances, my family can/is prepared to deal with... — read more

L3 guy, you might have a big title, but both you and I will will be on the same boat looking for a job at a different Company pretty soon.

Of all the co-HPE patriots who busy themselves around Meggie, doesn't one of them have a secure relationship with her to the tune of pulling her aside and directing her to a hair stylist? For such a wealthy, powerful woman (and the same would hold... — read more 

Had BBC on News on about 30 minutes ago. They reported that a "valid inside source within the Board Members of HPE, buyout talks are underway. HPE was contacted, however they refuse to comment. HPE stocks went up +3% today.". Although I've heard of... — read more

Yes, I was on the meeting in which that "joke" was made... When Meg makes a joke, you laugh. It's called "survival"... You guys have no idea how tough it is when she calls an ad-hoc meeting to request an update.

So....I just passed my 15 year service mark, the last 10 of which have been as an individual contributor. No one has any discussions with me and, as far as I know, my position is not changing. My job code has not changed. My manager has no clue as to... — read more 

Insider Activity: Insiders look pessimistic about the prospects of the company that they seem to offload shares while they are 33.84 up so far this year. A EVP and GM, HP Software at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) sold shares in the company... — read more 

Life on the outside can be good and the reduction in crazy a$$ stress is healthy. This company is failing. Some areas hit harder than others so far and the grind is unrelenting until HPE doesn't exist and Meg gets paid.

HPE decided to close Vietnam R&D site on July 14, most of around 60 people are working of HPE Software BU. It seems the wave of laying of started at the beginning of Q2 2016.

He is concerned about the continuous layoffs going on within IBM. I didn't know if I should have laughed or cried. I told him to look for a job out of the Tech Industry, and strongly advised not to look at HPE as a "better environment"proposition.

I have heard there are a number of people getting their notice on the 18th including me. Have not seen anything in WARN or in the news. Tomorrow will tell. Very sad.

Plenty of times, HPE simply transfer roles to Countries with lower cost structures to save tons of money. Add to that ridiculous international tax loopholes, and you have the perfect recipe for jobs to go abroad. I won't vote for DT, because I don't... — read more 

I don't agree that Meg and HP should have been included in that article. Neither HPQ or HPE represent the core values of our founders. Those glory days are well behind of what we have become.

What can be posted here vs. what shouldn't be posted in here? What is the definition of "trolling" as it relates to this site?

Monday, July 18 falls perfectly to give people two weeks to close out business, hand off to peers,etc. It is real. Honestly, who believes you can merge two failing businesses, with any hope of success, without major staff cuts?
