I worked with some really good HP folks in SD. Last I heard was that the site was going to be permanently closed this October after it was sold to Apple. Tried to contact some folks but emails inactive. Just curious.

According to the AEM guidelines, in-office presence is based on business needs rather than a strict requirement. The "three days per week" guideline is flexible and intended as general guidance. Your manager may request more or fewer days in the... — read more

Just curious, how your teams and coworkers reacted? For sites that aren't core hubs - did they share more details what will happen? Are there enough spaces on sites to manage the required capacity?

Bad enough that every day feels like a punishment for a choice I barely remember making. And if I dare complain, Ernest’s voice echoes in my head: “You self-selected for this role.” The expectations? They are not expectations. They are... — read more

Massive layoffs happening today. Even some L1s.

Was just told that HP is suspending all contract work company-wide for upwards of two full weeks starting at the end of August, and the contract manager only was told very late last night. Is this the end for my team? I was sure that we would be a... — read more

Seems like this was another aggressive week of WFR’s.

Who wants to go to Las Vegas with me?

Worked at the Palo Alto office and was converted to remote. Life is good.

Take a wild guess at who's at number 3? https://www.business.com/articles/broken-pedestals-the-dark-sides-of-popular-ceos/

West coast US and Germany many layoffs HP employees and CWs. A chunk related to shutdown of a project and some in Print support areas.

And anyone who works or has ever worked there as a CW is even more of a joke. Who’s with me?

I apologise for thinking I was untouchable. The software engineering industry is in complete $#!T right now...

Going to be a bloodbath. Best of luck to everyone.

Annual furlough is just around the corner. Happy no pay day to all my fellow contract workers.

Coming soon, some ugly truths.

Asked to be a CW and a pay cut. I was asked to become a CW because of HC on the FTE side. The offer from the contract company is ridiculous when they aren’t even paying for benefits on someone. We need to push back if a CW. I have seen what they paid... — read more 

CW here. The staffing agency sent me an email last Friday saying my last day is today. Isn't this illegal? To those already laid off, how much notice were you given?

This gangster knows how to talk like a politician. I’m proud to work for a guy like him and I’m sure Bill and Dave would be too.

It was a good run for 15 years. Time to move along.

Comment here if you or someone you know has gotten laid off this year. Tell me their position, org, and salary. I’ll go first: EO, manager, 120k after 16 years.

NO CW’S ALLOWED BECAUSE THEY ARE BARELY HUMAN.

I dread going into the office. When I arrive, there's no energy—no one mingles, no spontaneous conversations. Even during team meetings, we don't get a conference room; we just sit at our desks and Zoom in. It feels like we're just going through the... — read more

That was a load of cr-p. Enrique avoided as much as possible the WFR topic, his answer being so ambiguous. These 2000 extra people to be fired are on top of the original number from 3 years ago, but he tried to hide behind it. And the cr-p with "it's... — read more
