Today, November 8th, 2016 is a day of big celebration for all the HPE employees around the world!
Not because Clinton won over Trump, but because that means that Whitman will be resigning by the end of Q1, 2017 in order to join her cabinet. Goodbye, wicked witch! I'm going to miss your... Your... Your... Hair?
Private Equity Buyout
How likely is it that a Private Equity firm buys us?
Brazil HPE R&D laying off right now!
37 (from 150 employees) are being fired right now. Some hold more than 30 years in the company. Brazilians believe HPE will probably be closed here. That's probably true.
Is there a validated number of people who have wfr or left HPE in last 5 years?
Is it 5,000 or 50,000 or 300,000? What is the magnitude? There are wfr every week hitting a business area -is this drip drip drip by design or reflective of "leadership " vision?

HPE is Disgusting
That company hired 35K employees for original split, then spun everything off with plans to layoff most of the 35k they hired. They knew about it of course and treated the employees like cannon fodder. I got laid off, had a new job shortly, and... — read more
Friday Open Thread
What's on your mind today???
Laid off at HPE
actively pursued by HPE for months. Accepted offer and then was laid off 6 months later. No real strategy but it appears (my opinion) that Meg is setting the company for privatization buy out by some equity firm. Lots of cash and shares in spin-off... — read more

HPE Severance Payment 2016 and 2017
I was WFR'd approximately 2 weeks ago. Severance is 60 days pay (on target incentive) and at the end of 60 days you have to sign a form that basically makes it impossible for HPE to ever hire you back again. For signing the form and returning it... — read more

Don't forget to join in the class action

I found a way around the ban of HP HPE equipment, I buy H3C equipment instead of HP HPE equipment.
Hello HPE Education, It is not me against HP HPE. It is HP HPE against me. This problem could have been avoided if HP / HPE is not so hard up for money, I buy HP printers despite office opposition, and the HP printers all failed to work on the day... — read more
Today was my last day with HPE

Layoffs in India
Why? I thought the whole point of these WFRs was to cut costs and move the workforce overseas for cheap labor. Then how in the f--- is this supposed to make sense. Are execs just completely f---ed in the head?
Which is worse: Meg or Carly?
Carly started HP's tumble, but it seems like her actions were a drop in the bucket compared to the damage Meg Whitman has caused. Thoughts?
HPE keeping track of employee IT consumption
Anyone else get the email from HPE showing a report of how much we cost the company in terms of Skype, Conferencing, and SharePoint? Big Brother is watching!
My benefits are going up 55%.
Going to CSC. My benefits are going up 55%. Getting us "in line" with CSC benefits package. Dusting off my resume now. We can't cut anymore, as our techs are burned out.

Mike Nefkens on the way out
For the HPE/CSC spin off folks, the rumor is Mike is mulling over, meaning his adviser is looking over employment contracts to exit after the HPE/CSC merger is complete.
