I think it's unfair to drop a bo-b that 6k employees will be laid off over the next three years and not provide any additional info. It would be great to know if the management plans to implement a few major rounds or if we're looking at constant... — read more 

Make them lay you off! Make HP pay a hefty price to get rid of you if the management wasn't willing to pay to keep you. Attrition at this point helps nobody but the management. What do you have to lose if you wait a bit longer to make sure you're not... — read more

Year-end bonuses were very low this year, like one month's worth of groceries after tax. The CEO did warn about it though. What was your experience in other organizations?

I've been happy here for most of the last decade. I'm not sure what happened recently, but after 20 years in this industry, my every move is being second-guessed! What the he-l is going on here? Am I being pushed out intentionally? Do they want me to... — read more 

When the layoffs hit, if you're not prepared with enough savings, several irons in the fire regarding a new job, and an active network you can turn to just in case, you'll only have yourself to blame. HP gave us more than enough advance notice for... — read more 

Most of us are trying to leave and forget this place as soon as possible, so I don't understand those who would like to be hired here right now.

Been working on the weekends since it’s considered “busy” season for my team. Anybody else in the same boat? I think management is asking me to do this on purpose so I can resign and say it was due to a low work life balance but I’m a CW so maybe... — read more

Hp has a long history of laying off people this time of year. Wave as your job goes to india!

I absolutely understand if this post gets downvotes, but the truth is that the company has many people who have been doing almost nothing for a long time and it's a good thing for the company to be getting rid of dead wood. I think the ratio of... — read more 

I know the job market is not ideal right now with so many getting the boot in the tech sector, but I firmly believe that those of us who're good at what we do will have no issues finding a new job. With that in mind, getting a nice monetary send-off... — read more 

Why is there no concrete info on layoff timing?

Those who had skills left this place a long time ago. That's a fact. Most of the rest of us are here only because we don't have enough skills to find something better. However, those who were cut a while ago, some of whom I am still in contact... — read more 

I would like the company to survive, but I think it will be a real challenge. Restructuring could ruin the company even more. I am looking for a way to exit.

Layoffs began first thing this morning. Nothing like getting let go just before the holidays. Why does HP have a habit of laying off people just before Thanksgiving? They know companies won't start hiring until after New Years.

I have a feeling they want to save on severances and are now putting pressure on some of us to quit. The expectations have become completely unreasonable and the verbal abuse by my manager has intensified in the last month or so. I can't go to HR... — read more 

Well, enjoy yourselves because the ride is not going to last much longer. HP is no sweetheart, it's ruthless and will dump employees at the drop of a hat. A flat business with poor recent earnings, with a recent expensive acquisition, AND with a... — read more

Hearing HP looking to buy KM? Any truth?

Everybody is talking about coming layoffs but nobody is mentioning when. Does anybody know?

It’s coming everyone, the WFR hammer is going to drop soon for FTEs and CWs. Poor earnings, stock price tanking, super costly corporate acquisition, major rumors of campuses being turned to ghost towns, and other signposts all point to a volatile... — read more

From what I heard, the whole CTO organisation is cut. People and teams are moved in BUs. Is that true?

I am referring to the thread below in which the person writes about getting laid off. Morale is very bad, the atmosphere is tense, so I can only hope that there won't be big cuts soon. Does anyone have any insights?
