HPE's annual WFR's are just around the corner. There is a need to cut as many US based employees as possible to fund executive bonuses and the acquisition of the failing Juniper Networks.

What October surprise?
I’m hearing that the October shuffle is going to overtime due to missed sales expectations in NA.
There was definitely late October round - notified Oct 14th and LWD Oct 25th. Want to make sure they don't have to pay the 401K contribution! I hear 5% will be performance based layoffs in '25 - so no packages?
Congratulations to everyone who survived FY24, now for FY25 and another year of waiting to see if this is year when you're surplus to requirements.
No surprises. So we can conclude nothing happened in October.
As mentioned several times already, this year's larger layoffs start next week coinciding with new FY. Obviously, HPE continues to layoff throughout the year on a targetted-basis.
Still got the last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday of October. Not over yet.
So that's it. Everyone is safe. There are no Mondays left in October. Looks like this rumor is busted.
Get back to work already.
Dude, FYI a "foreigner" has the top job here for more than half a decade.
How has that worked out for customers, employees and shareholders?
"Half a decade". Wow, that's like a twentieth of a century!

Every job stealing foreigner lives in a flammable home.
Sad but probably true.
There are not as many US based employees left that visit this site. I predict Monday 10/21 is the big day that US based employees are cut. It's time that all of the south of the border employees HPE has been hiring over the last 2 years to take over.
Won't happen till first week of November.
So today is what many predicted would be the big day. So far seems pretty quiet. Either it didn't happen, isn't going to happen, or hasn't happened yet. Thoughts?
"I feel bad for the people about to get cut. The job market is bad and Hpe skills are not really in demand."
I agree with this 100% - HPE skills and certifications are basically worthless outside of HPE.
Sounds like it will be closer to early November surprise. Targeted 5% across the company.
With the amount of politics in HPE, the direction the company is taking is not surprising.
It is not a surprise anymore.

Major shake up at Product Management and have a lean product management org post Oct
Juniper acquisition is the last gasp of a dying company.
Not a surprise at all, it happens every quarter. I was laid off this year already.
Dont worry 'HPE HAS IT NOW"
Of course they should've, except that Extreme Networks actually has a good product with a good reputation among customers, so they're not even on the shopping list.
@1fnx+1ulCJfSl HPE should have acquired Extreme Networks
Juniper acquisition is the poison pill HPE has been waiting before they shut shop. This company is completely useless. Cisco will beat them left and right.Cisco has much better acquisition sense. Mark my words and watch HPE sink after 1 year of this acquisition
Such a surprise it happens every year and every quarter.
WiFi technology is designed by Broadcom, Qualcomm, Intel and few more companies.
Juniper, Aruba and Cisco just put a wraparound on their firmware and ship it as if they designed the OFDMA and MU-mimo and other related WiFi technologies.
Juniper MIST is mainly good at troubleshooting using AI and ML but not in contributing to improve OFDMA or MU-MIMO or WiFi7 MLO algorithms. Cisco Meraki has caught up with Mist and they own the cloud market.
Customers will mainly look for support, integration of current network devices with the same vendor and stability of firmware when they decide on WiFi technology and APs.
Time to break up Cisco.
Cisco will beat all of you ! Lol ! Cisco market share is double of Aruba and Mist put together !
Mist with small market share is acting like they own the WiFi market.
Juniper will teach you Networking and AI. I think there will be a mass culling like Cisco-Splunk to make way for 8k employees from Juniper.
BTW Thank you HPE!! For taking us on with all the flaws that too with a loan😀
A lot of old timers hiding in Aruba networks. Smoke them out and save few millions.
Juniper mist is going to take over Aruba network. Aruba failed badly in cloud.
