I was laid off from HPE in 2020. I was 55 at the time, and I firmly believe age was a factor. Since then, I’ve seen my old job—or near duplicates of it—posted and filled over and over. I’ve applied 15 to 20 times. Every single time, rejected. .. — read more
International travel on H-1B before ED1
Until ED1 jn November, there’s the chance that layoffs can happen any time, right? As such, if we’re in the US on H-1B, should we cancel all international travel before ED1?
Inappropriate and unprofessional posts
There are a lot of folks on here that have been impacted by layoffs, so why the negative, unprofessional posts by what appears to be gainfully employed HPE employees? Wondering why they are "trolling" on a site that is meant for commentary and... — read more

Acquisition synergies now upped to $500M
Over 3 years vs $350M. Means more cuts are coming.
Resignations
How does HpE handle resignations? If you give two weeks to they get rid of you earlier but still pay the two weeks? I guess there is no more owed vacation pay.
The bloodbath of July 14th and 15th
Got the axe today, it does not make any business sense whatsoever. I don't think management knows what they are doing.
No New Upper Management
How has upper management (SVPs) been able to avoid being affected by layoffs? How effective has their leadership been? Like what are they doing to stay relevant? I've always found that very odd.
Will layoffs affect us as well?

Anyone here who was laid off recently?
I’ve been looking for another job for months. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I’m starting to panic. If there’s anyone else in the same boat with advice, or anyone who’s been lucky enough to land something and can share their experience, please do. I’ve tried... — read more
Horrible Keynote at HPE Discover
Was it just me or did Antonio's keynote seem extremely flat with no substance. Given where the company is at, one would think there would be more exciting news and products coming to market. Very disappointing.

No company has disappointed me more than HPE
I was with hpe from its inception. I have never been treated so poorly by an employer, managers and coworkers. I was cursed out by a manager during a review. I was lied to about having to work over Thanksgiving 500 miles from home. I was demoted and... — read more
HPE turns to AI agents in job-cutting mission as costs spike
https://www.lightreading.com/ai-machine-learning/hpe-turns-to-ai-agents-in-job-cutting-mission-as-costs-spike And so it begins...or continues. Thanks, Skynet.
Sadly, HPE has turned into a stepping stone job
I hope all the new hires know this. It's good for a paycheck while you look for something better, but never a long-term play. The constant layoff cycles are predictable as sunrise. If you go in knowing this and plan accordingly, fine. But get... — read more

WFR - Voluntary Severance
Is there a voluntary option to WFR yourself or is it just compulsory only? If not then surely it would be kinder to offer an incentive to those who are happy to leave rather than force out others? What metrics are being used? Can't be performance... — read more
HPE only exists to generate profit for those at the top of the pyramid
Whenever bonuses are at risk, they lop off whatever % of the workforce it takes to reduce costs enough to hit performance metrics regardless of experience, track record, loyalty, reason, etc. If you are not at the top you are expendable, especially... — read more
Could HPE be acquired?
HPE’s market cap is $23B. I think that’s small enough to make them an acquisition target. It would make sense for Hitachi to buy HPE to solidify their presence in the US. The question is whether that would be something they would want. — read more

Everything’s falling apart and they don’t even notice
The tension’s thick enough to chew, and nobody at the top seems to notice, or maybe they just stopped caring years ago. The mood’s in the gutter, but the demands keep stacking higher. You’d think keeping people motivated would matter. Instead, we’re... — read more
Stuck in the past
HPE is stuck in the past with extreme micromanagement that ki-ls any chance for real initiative. Career growth moves at a glacial pace unless you’re willing to play political games and focus solely on pleasing multiple layers of management. .. — read more
How long can HPE do this?
I really don’t know HPE can continue to exist like this. Announce 10% layoff, acquire a company, struggle for a while - lather rinse repeat. It’s painful to watch.
HPE India MD Resigns
Seems like India MD - Som Satsangi will be "retiring from HPE" after more than 27 years in service. Another way of saying WFR.. Looks like the firing is hitting HPE from all places, including at leadership level.

Mass layoffs within Slingshot
Targeting Senior level employees in USA
I'm starting to hate HPE
In addition to having to deal with layoffs, we have leadership that has no clue what most of us are actually capable of. Their expectations don’t match our skills, ignore our strengths, and waste everyone’s potential. It’s demoralizing to be set up... — read more
