If you are ambitious you'll start looking for work yesterday. If you love getting paid lots of money while producing very little, you'll stay. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/07/12/micro-focus-shares-slump-hp-deal-approaches/

How is Nimble Storage's integration with HPE going?

People do quit HPE to go to where the grass is greener, I have seen it... Also, there's a lot more loyalty (actually wanting and trying to do a good job for customers especially, and then also for the stockholders) flowing from employees, than there... — read more 

Sorry to be the bearer of more bad HPE news, but a co-worker just was "pre notified" that she will be formally notified on Monday the 17th of July. Last day will be Friday the 28th of July. She was going on a family camping trip for a bit, so the... — read more 

Does anybody know what severance packages look like these days at Hewlett Packard? I have read they have been changed for the worse, but nobody is putting down any actual details, just saying it is bad. I would be really grateful if somebody could... — read more 

Where else do you start at zero hours of PTO at the beginning of the year and can't roll it over at the end? Wtf? Anyone know if micro focus operates the same way?

All of this mess, the decline, the incompetent management, the layoffs, all of it really goes back to one small body of self-perpetuating people, from Fiorina onwards, and even before: the Board of Directors. There you will find the people that have... — read more 

I was recently let go by HPE and it effect a few folks in my region. But I haven't seen any postings or notifications that there was a layoff? Severance package was weak and loyalty is definitely lost. HPE was heading in the right direction and now... — read more 

To a certain extend, WFR isn't executed extensively. Hoping for more WFR in months to come.

With layoffs coming, I'm assuming not great, but younger and interested in an overseas assignment. Not looking for barrage of negativity, just some answers on what options are available, if any.

If you were an HP contractor that was required to travel for the NMCI contract, please Google the law firm that represents the victims famlies of the Navy Yard Shooting. Let them know how negligent HP management was with the travel expense... — read more 

I was laid off on 4/17 after I was approved then delayed layoff before HPe became DXC. I received 11 weeks pay because of my length of service time (over 30 years) and was not informed by my Manager of anything else. I filed for unemployment and was... — read more 

How has his last layoff been so hidden? My support was laid off and I'm inundated with crap and have no one to help! Last Monday was brutal here in Plano and from my understanding everywhere. What's the verdict on fjnal #s? I can name 30 here alone

I have absolutely no personal knowledge or special insight into this, but there is an ongoing flurry of lawsuits back and forth between HPE and the Rhode Island Department of Motor Vehicles (RIDMV). I am willing to bet, though, that HPE defeated... — read more 

I was laid off years ago. I picked myself up and moved on. Yes Meg S---s. Product Managers are being influenced by moronic Business weenies. Which has produced Synergy... HAHAHAHAHAHA. Meanwhile Simplivity and Nutanix are showing the way to the... — read more 

My BIL was let go in this last HPE layoff round and they are not giving him any severance. They are not even paying him for accrued vacation time. Is this even legal? He has been with HP/HPE for 15 years but is one of those who started with DEC which... — read more 

Do you have any updates on layoffs by HPE in Chippewa Falls. I've left HPE in 2016, after 11 long years with the company I've seen it flourish and then fall on its knees. Years of mismanagement, wrong strategic moves, and simply incompetent... — read more 

Canada is getting hit as of 19-jun17 Customer Service onsite engineers, sales. the few remaining teleworkers doing CSC work

HPE will continue to struggle until major changes are made at the Sr. level. Too many Sr. managers who don't understand the business they are managing. They in turn hire others who have no clue...and so on. Hiring is based on friendships and politics... — read more 

Anyone? Seems to have been largely overblown, no?

I and a few mates on my team just got the ax. So it looks like another big round of layoffs are hitting today.

I believe I was wrongly terminated by HPE. Without going into specific here I wanted to see if someone on the board had a similar legal experience and if you worked with a good labor attorney who you might be able to recommend here. Details of the... — read more 

Posted in the portal..... Please be advised of an email with the subject line "URGENT-ACTION REQUIRED: DXC Technology Document To All Employees From President Mike Lawrie [June 06, 2017]". The email contains a PDF asking employees to click on a... — read more 

Layoffs in other area, but freaking Aruba is on a cowboy hiring spree. FREAKING meggot

What is the package if an employee is wfr'd? Pay, healthcare, etc? I've heard a couple of variations- I'm in Houston.

It's all smoke and mirrors now at HPE. Nothing left but financial manipulation and massive self promotion. More layoffs are in planning for the upcoming holiday season (October through November). Overly complicated hardware is no longer relevant in a... — read more 

Here are some of the reasons employees, partners and customers lose trust on HPE. 1) Meg's interest is in politics not technology. 2) Executives only focus on pleasing investors not customers. 3) Multiple reorganizations caused mental stress to... — read more 

Does anyone think the MF spinoff could come out as the most successful entity out of the three mentioned? Dxc is a disaster and it seems MW is getting ready to take HPE private. The Microfocus venture can't do worse than these two, can it?

So let's keep her on as CEO!! Way to go, Meg! Congratulations!! How did you pull that off??!!

From Meg's email this morning: "HPE Next will produce the long-term operating and financial blueprint for our company. It is a project on par in scope with any of the recent separations we’ve managed and is likely to determine HPE’s relevance in the... — read more 

I guess many people did not need to wait till 19th, many people I know from different projects/teams from Fort Collins (10), Palo Alto (2) and some remote workers (4) got WFR today, including myself. Not sure if other teams/sites got affected, but... — read more

June 19th is the rumored day for WFR's... is it going to be primarily out of one group/country? Sticking with the older employees? No one feels safe anymore... such a shame!

Assuming that each employee costs approximately $100K per year, then HPE would need to layoff approximately 2500 employees to reduce costs by $250M. That would mean that one out of every 22 employees at HPE will get the ax by the second quarter.

Just found out that more lay-offs are happening today in Enterprise Security products.
