It is unlikely WFR notices will be given out on Thanksgiving week next week. In the past, some notices were given after Thanksgiving break but not before. HPE Executives found out that it is bad PR to be laying off people during the Christmas season... — read more

According to the geniuses on this site, every time an HPE executive sells stock, that means they are leaving the company, doing something nefarious, or preparing for layoffs. Or, they could just want to make money, as there is no point in holding... — read more 

If one gets WFR'd, are we required to transfer our HP Pension to an IRA? I have been with HP/HPE for 23 years now. I received a mail about options to transfer out the pension to an IRA. Maybe because I am with HPE. I ignored it and kept it where it... — read more

HP/HPE has got to be the worst company I've ever worked for. I had to code solutions that all of the offshore saviors couldn't deliver on to save their lives! I understand the "why" (money) of outsourcing but I truly believe companies that outsource... — read more

The worst decision I have ever taken in my life was to join HPE. I was working for a great company with high employee morale. I am repeating for leaving such a good company and stick here in HPE with fear of job loss. I see few jobs coming here to... — read more 

In my over three decades of work experience I've never worked at a place where morale was as low as it is at HPE now. People are so stressed and disheartened that it's become a palpable feeling in the office. It's depressing, mildly put. It's not... — read more

A few people keep posting in different threads about a huge layoff at HPE that took place in the past several days, yet I have heard or seen nothing of it. Anybody knows what that's all about?

I reckon a bunch of consultants?

Normal industry standard is to prepone Q1 expenditure to Q4. However, looks like HPE is doing reversal. It is postponing all unavoidable expenditures to Q1 just to show better results in Q4? If above is true, Q1 results would be extremely impacted... — read more
