Sales Layoff?!

Someone on the Poly sales side just announced they were laid off. Even though they are coming into HP after a merger, I didn't think that sales was ever laid off unless a company is failing. Living like a pauper so that I can save enough to retire... — read more

Management layers should be thinned out

If we have layoffs in our future - and let's be realistic, we all know we will - then the right move would be to thin out management layers. HP does have fat, and that fat is concentrated in the bloated management. Those are the types of layoffs I... — read more

HP Applause Only Culture?

With recent reorgs, I'm now working within the broader Consumer Services group. It seems despite the many delivery delays/issues, there is a pervasive Applause Only Culture where even any even valid debate/discussion is strongly discouraged.

WFR and the In Crowd

I'm relatively new at HP (print software) and in a group with lots of old timers (20+ year tenure). They constantly take credit for my work and hint that they are "protected" against WFR as part of the "In crowd" while those with shorter tenure like... — read more
