Topics regarding layoffs at HP (Hewlett-Packard)

It's not easy for some of us

Many of us are older and cannot easily find another job. No one wants an experienced resource, everyone wants cheap resources. It is sad that this is how business is these days. Capitalism at its worst. Many of us have given and sacrificed much for... — read more

this nearly destroyed me, such a great culture turning sour. 24 years of service and then a phone call to say "today it's your turn... The valued principles of Bill and Dave had long gone.. With all my experience in Stirage over 24 years I was... — read more

HP morale permanently damaged

I cant see how HP will survive. Most of the best got out by volunteering or getting a new job. Morale is so bad now, it borders on unbelievable. Having been through other company layoffs its obvious most people have been spoiled here and have never... — read more

WFR happens everywhere

If you think that only US or other high cost countries are affected, you are wrong. There is massive WFR in India and other low costs countries. After reading tons and tons of comments about US jobs being shipped out, note that there is also layoffs... — read more

Additional Severance Perk

If you are laid off, HP will let you use a service that helps with your resume, interviewing skills, etc. That service actually made my resume a lot better. They said to rewrite my resume by bullet-pointing accomplishments instead of just a long list... — read more

Early retirement

I decided to take an early retirement last year due to a lack of work and the management is not the same as it used to be before - I feel that people who worked at Hewlett Packard for a very long time (just like like me) are fed up and really do not... — read more

How about we ship all HP jobs to India and close the shop

Don't get me wrong, I do not have anything our India folks, but given the price advantage does it even make any sense to continue to crank out code here in the States. Seriously, we've been under so much pressure here, constant layoffs, I mean, just... — read more

Stop Bashing HP

I've been at HP almost 37 years, and the main point is this. They never owed ANYONE a job. No company ever does. If you get let go, you get let go. Find another job and stop complaining.

HP hasn't cared about employees for a long, long time.

HP hasn't cared about employees for a long, long time. They are just like, if not worse than any other corporation. They will never learn what valuable assets they have in their employees. If they had remained in the U.S. they would still be on top... — read more

HP promotes for the wrong reasons.

You land a 100 million dollar deal one year and so you don't have to carry the quota the next year you become a manager. My new manager had zero people skills and everyone on the team can't stand her. She was late for every appoint,end we had... — read more

The Irony of HP

My supervisor is pretty much dumb as a cow, and she has the power to get rid of HP IT professionals, funny isn't? Today, there is virtually no loyalty out there, HP, IBM, any company that's around. It doesn’t matter how long you have been working at... — read more

How do they do it? Call? Conference with HR?

How does the actual act of communicating that you've been laid off happen? Do they call you in a conference room? Who is there? What do they tell you? How long does it take. I am extremely nervous, been with HP for 4 years and I am expecting to be... — read more

Massive Layoffs - HP has no future.

Better advice to HP employees that may get laid off or terminated soon. If you see abuse, document it. They may not be focusing on you today, but if they're allowed to abuse your colleagues, they're allowed to abuse you, too. It's just a matter of... — read more

HP is almost too big to fail at this point
