or does it seem that this year's layoff numbers are so far lower than the past few years?

Bunch of people who think they're better than they really are.

Working here. I don’t have any benefits as a cw. Paid thousands of dollars just to go to the dentist. I also regret spending money on expensive clothes just to impress girls.

LOL: Nvidia squashes rumor it’s planning to purchase a major PC manufacturer — says that it’s ‘not engaged in discussions to acquire any PC maker’

How would I go about doing that? Is there someone I should send my resume to?

CWs not invited.

So why is store for the ones who stay after Early Retirement fold leave. The big reorganization for the ONE HP. Anyone hearing how the new reorg is structured and is it successful in Canada?

Kinda useless. We should be trying to improve the company but instead we are doing this

They really want people on-site. Guess this will decide what site is next on the block.

With sites shuttering, starting to wonder if Palo Alto will be scaled back again, to house just upper management… WFRing the remaining ICs there.

HP has spent years testing how much friction its customers will tolerate — DRM-ink cartridges, firmware that blocks third-party supplies, and a CEO who called non-subscription customers a "bad investment." Forced wait times fit the pattern: treat... — read more

so, after Boise, which site is next on the list to close?

Thought you had a future in this industry? Too bad. That's the message we keep getting.

Execs say there's a possibility for relocation, but with about 1,200 employees at the Boise site how likely is this really?

First we got a WFR announcement. Then a CEO resignation. Now a bunch of site closures. What else can we expect of a dying company?

I do only because I get to work remote and make a lot of money.
