L3 guy, you might have a big title, but both you and I will will be on the same boat looking for a job at a different Company pretty soon.

Of all the co-HPE patriots who busy themselves around Meggie, doesn't one of them have a secure relationship with her to the tune of pulling her aside and directing her to a hair stylist? For such a wealthy, powerful woman (and the same would hold... — read more 

Had BBC on News on about 30 minutes ago. They reported that a "valid inside source within the Board Members of HPE, buyout talks are underway. HPE was contacted, however they refuse to comment. HPE stocks went up +3% today.". Although I've heard of... — read more

Yes, I was on the meeting in which that "joke" was made... When Meg makes a joke, you laugh. It's called "survival"... You guys have no idea how tough it is when she calls an ad-hoc meeting to request an update.

So....I just passed my 15 year service mark, the last 10 of which have been as an individual contributor. No one has any discussions with me and, as far as I know, my position is not changing. My job code has not changed. My manager has no clue as to... — read more 

Insider Activity: Insiders look pessimistic about the prospects of the company that they seem to offload shares while they are 33.84 up so far this year. A EVP and GM, HP Software at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) sold shares in the company... — read more 

Life on the outside can be good and the reduction in crazy a$$ stress is healthy. This company is failing. Some areas hit harder than others so far and the grind is unrelenting until HPE doesn't exist and Meg gets paid.

Take away the tax loopholes incentives on doing business overseas (Puerto Rico is a good tax haven example with a faulty design that is being abused ), and in a few years a lot of jobs will return to the US. Look at Brazil, for example... The tariffs... — read more 

HPE decided to close Vietnam R&D site on July 14, most of around 60 people are working of HPE Software BU. It seems the wave of laying of started at the beginning of Q2 2016.

He is concerned about the continuous layoffs going on within IBM. I didn't know if I should have laughed or cried. I told him to look for a job out of the Tech Industry, and strongly advised not to look at HPE as a "better environment"proposition.

I have heard there are a number of people getting their notice on the 18th including me. Have not seen anything in WARN or in the news. Tomorrow will tell. Very sad.

Plenty of times, HPE simply transfer roles to Countries with lower cost structures to save tons of money. Add to that ridiculous international tax loopholes, and you have the perfect recipe for jobs to go abroad. I won't vote for DT, because I don't... — read more 

I don't agree that Meg and HP should have been included in that article. Neither HPQ or HPE represent the core values of our founders. Those glory days are well behind of what we have become.

What can be posted here vs. what shouldn't be posted in here? What is the definition of "trolling" as it relates to this site?

Monday, July 18 falls perfectly to give people two weeks to close out business, hand off to peers,etc. It is real. Honestly, who believes you can merge two failing businesses, with any hope of success, without major staff cuts?

There has been some recent layoffs at one of El Paso's locations. El Paso, tx has 2 different buildings, most of these layoffs were rehired at the other location. So much for their no rehire policy, looks like it's only enforced on some cases. I'm... — read more

They can clean it up by looking what IP addresses are used to post trolling posts - I can bet that 99% of trolling posts are generated by three of four users only

I just saw a woman crying inconsolably in the parking lot, assisted by two other gals. There were a few of us watching. Never seen her before. Very, very painful... Almost crying here as well...

It is tempting to say I'll never buy another HP/HPE product, but the reality is that this company is an inanimate object driven by people like Meg Whitman who will move on once this company is dismantled and sold off. In the meantime, these greedy... — read more
