Sell Your HP Stocks Now
When the CEO sells her own HP stocks, it's time to sell your stocks too ... WTF http://finance.yahoo.com/q/it?s=HPQ+Insider+Transactions
DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING
Laid off? Do NOT sign any paperwork. Seek legal advice immediately. HR is full of clever foxes. It's your job to be one step ahead.
Meg is not a nice person
Here's an old but good read about what kind of person Meg is. Don't expect anything to get better at HP, get out of there now! http://exiledonline.com/meg-whitman-stingiest-billionaire-in-america-or-top-8-reasons-why-borat-would-vote-for-meg-whitman/
Fire MEG
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard would spit Meg in her face, then fire her without severance pay for what she's done to HP. Stupid old hag.
Never supported unions but after what HP does to us I wish IT was unionized
Thank you Meg Whitmman I hope you can sleep at nights because I can't. After 20 plus years of service you let us out to dry. You shifted us to another company with lower pay, less medical benefits and loss of vacation days while we pay more to cover... — read more
Don't hang around!
Don't hang around. As an HP employee, this is how I feel about HP: https://instagram.com/p/8Lx3GRp4C9/
Run while you can!
Read recent news regarding the 30,000 layoffs. I predicted this would happen months before it was announced. Get out now. Run while you can and don't look back!!! If they tell you not to worry or mention that your job is secure, it simply means YOU... — read more
HP Layoff History
I noticed someone posted they were tracking the HP hiring trend and was wondering if anyone had a history of all the HP layoffs from 2012 or 2009 to current (ie. dates, number of employees let go, etc).
After 20+ Years with HP I was let go this morning
I was in shock as I really did not expect this to happened. I have been with HP for over twenty years, I was chargeable all the time, I was a SME on multiple tracks and my skills are in need at HP or outside. The client feedback was outstanding... — read more
So it begins
Laid off this morning. Was told many others were on the chopping block and that job was safe. Believe no one.
HP WFR 2015
Do not wait for layoffs, make a move now. Update your resume, work on your LinkedIn profile, network. Let everyone you know that you are looking for job while you still have it. It's easier to find a job if you are still employed, do not wait to be... — read more
Worked for HP for 8 years.....
I worked for hp for about last 8 years, always had a great end of year review with my manager. In my case all the layoff news were such a lie, they laid off many hard working people that gave their best for the company....and moved those jobs to... — read more
Don't wait for layoffs - You can do it. Just get out there now!
Don't sit around and wait for HP to decide your future. Start looking for a new job now. Take control. If you're going to leave, do it on your own terms, not HP's. Check for jobs on LinkedIn. Get in touch with former HPers who are already working at... — read more
Trust no one, keep your head down and do your job
Some in HP have seen this a few times before, but for those of us who haven't, it's a challenge. There are a lot of "management" types that have never had another job after college and they're in their late 40s or early 50s. They're old blood, have... — read more
Fiorina severance package
When she was fired, she got a $21.4 million severance package!!!! Really???
Hewlett Packard Severance Package
HP Layoff Package: Anyone knows what a typical HP severance package is. I am in HPE and I've been with the company 18 months, do you maybe know if I may be eligible for unemployment and if COBRA may be offered for employees that do not have long... — read more
What If....
What if Meg woke up and decided to do the right thing. End WFRs and give everyone a raise. Imagine how productivity would improve. Our clients would get what they want on time and with better quality, Stocks would sore because investors would have... — read more
HP WFR 2015
While I was with HP, I really never felt safe in job position. My managers (and HP in general) were always ready for the WFR call. I worked remote and felt as if I missed out on a lot of what was going on with my team, rally, it's hard unless you... — read more

Layoffs / Depression
am massively depressed. Can't focus at anything at work. Glancing at the screen all day... Don't know how to get from this stage. Help!
Most of my team will be (voluntarily) gone by the end of the year
HP wants me to commute an hour to work every day to sit in the cafeteria with and engineer software with my laptop 8 hours a day. I can drive 5 more miles for $20k more. I kind of appreciate Meg for kicking me in the ass and forcing me to find a... — read more
Already Looking - time to go!!
After being with this company for 10 years, no raise or bonus worth mentioning for 8 years, I should have been looking a long time ago, However, I love the work I do, my team and my manager. So from that point of view, I have always hesitated to... — read more
Waiting....
I don't think I can wait to find out about the layoff. We should start looking for a job now.
Layoff and housing market
Does anyone know how the layoffs will affect the housing market in Silicon Valley?
Whats next for HP? Could we see some ethical change for once?
There's been a lot of anger these past few months over the terrible offers that many employees recieved from Ciber and Adecco. These offers are inconsiderate, unethical, and down right insulting, taking into account that many have spent much of their... — read more
HP is an example of what happens when there is no union.
Since the days of Carly HP has been laying off workers most being in what they call high cost areas (United States). Labor laws in Europe and other high cost areas have protected the workforce in part from such layoffs. The United States have no such... — read more
HP November 2015 Layoffs
OK, so what do we know so far? There will be a split in November 2015, but are we going to be laid off in November or do we have more time? It'd be stupid if they were to let all 30,000 people go at the same time, so I think that we, especially HPE... — read more
It's time we all stood up to HP's UNETHICAL TREATMENT
Like our US counterparts at Ciber, i think Adecco and Modis employees in Canada, the US, or wherever you are should also stand up to HP and their disgraceful practices! Make our voices heard, inform local and national news stations such as CBC that... — read more
The silence
The silence is deafening. The silence is deafening.The silence is deafening. Almost 48 hours since the news about the impending layoffs hit the news services and yet there has been nothing in my HP email about this except for an invitation to watch... — read more
Executives at HP do not understand the concept of "leadership"
I really enjoyed being reminded by Meg personally how she and her buddies were partying in Barcelona, Spain for the last 3 months of 2014 in almost daily e-mails (apparently entertaining our "customers" in Europe? The ones we ended up bribing and... — read more

Revisiting Contracts (US and Canada)
This is ridiculous, disgusting, and unethical! My dad in Toronto was given the EXACT same offer that the Ciber folks got except it was from Adecco/Modis and he is NOT an hourly worker. So why on earth have the Ciber contracts been revisited and not... — read more
Is the ciber offer even legal?
how can a company transfer an employee to another company which is not its subsidiary. Why refusing to that offer means you forfeit your severance? When you get laid off is it not mandatory for the company to provide severance or compensation?
Bad spending priorities
I left HP Services earlier this year, partly because I was tired of watching them toss money away on pointless projects while good people were losing their jobs. There was one group in Services that reserved penthouse suites at all partner trade... — read more
Adecco Offer
Offer in. A fraction of my current psy. Can no longer afford to work here. A decade of work down the tube. What they don't know is I'm the 1st to get an offer here and all my employees know about it. They are about to see 100 refusals of these low... — read more
