I would like to begin by expressing my sincere apologies for the lack of professionalism shown to DS on his final day at the office. The overall tone of the interaction was disappointing, and I was personally disheartened by the lack of respect shown... — read more

Title says it WFRs on thr west coast today and noticing how opportunities in growth areas are being given to people from divested businesses. This means no actual job posting or opportunity for most of HP. If you were recently laid off or thinking... — read more 

In light of all the negativity around here I would like to stand out as an employee who is grateful for being a CW on the software enginering/web development team. I've been here for almost five years now and I never have to worry about being laid... — read more 

Check what we have shared publicly the 2023 sustainability report...the next one should be published this year. Until this gets updated I'd say these are the goals and have been the goals for a few years. All to enable more equitable outcomes... — read more 

I have a few questions I hope you can help clarify: Could someone please provide an update on whether we currently have any DEI metrics, and if so, what they are? Can someone clarify what the current definition of a "diversity employee" is?... — read more 

I spoke with my boss last night, and they mentioned that the atmosphere was very uncomfortable. Ernest's leadership style isn’t working. According to them, everyone was just nodding along, agreeing that things were moving in the right direction and... — read more 

Has anyone else observed that Ernest consistently closes his office door upon arrival and refrains from engaging with colleagues, particularly the white men in the office? This behavior seems peculiar. JJ appears to be exhibiting similar conduct. It... — read more 

Getting really concerned that Boise is the next to go after SD closes this year. Anyone know what's going there? Perhaps I missed an announcement about the Boise campus.

I am in Palo Alto and got a gut punch update from my boss today. This has been presented to our ELT. He said this is severely needed and many groups are still bloated. I just hope our CEO says no to this proposal and that we have been through to... — read more 

Anybody else in the same boat after being laid off? I feel like such a loser.

All the good posts on here get deleted. There was a good one about how racist Ernest is but now it’s gone. I think we should all make a discord or skype group to talk and assimilate in a more efficient way. Anonymous, of course.

It has come to my attention that some employees in the HP Amstelveen (Netherlands) office still haven’t received their severance pay package, even a month after their last working day. If you’re among the employees set to be laid off soon, here’s... — read more 

With HP laying off and eliminating managers, directors and senior directors positions, what opportunity is there for growth? Only way to get promoted is if someone leaves. Not much of an incentive to stick around.

That’s how great the company is.

I still have my job

When the quarterly results came out in Nov 2022, it was announced that HP would reduce workforce by 4000-6000 over the next three years. We are now well into the third year, so I want to know if there are some numbers on the progress of this planned... — read more 

I am hearing chatter of many people getting laid off today. What is everyone else hearing? Looks like supply chain got hit pretty hard.

I am genuinely curious. This is a mid tech company at best, seems like we get shafted on bonus and merit increases. What’s everyone else’s opinion? Consumers don’t even think about HP.

My boss somehow knew it's me who left answers?? Surveys in companies often seem biased due to poor question design, limited answer options, fear of repercussions, management influence, sampling bias, cultural pressures, or selective data... — read more

HP is failing. Did everyone get that terrible email on Wednesday? Our reputation is sinking too.

Some Reading employees, including myself, are now required to come to the office. Does this apply globally, or is it just here?

Share any updates you may have about HP layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

New layoffs will be announced this month. However if you are a web developer then you will be safe because HP needs all the help they can get from these folks during this time of the year.
