In SC. We just had layoffs today 1/13/24. Right after the holidays, so nice of them.
“ I do not understand why I’m getting downvoted. It’s true. I make almost 71k after almost 3 years with HP.”
I believe you. You have to build up your skill set and another company will come along and snap you up. Most of HP products are commodities so you should look at different companies that are growing and are making innovative products. Nvidia and AMD are good places to work. Dell and Lenovo are bad places to work. Honestly, I don’t know why anybody would work for Dell.
“I used to make around $135k in SD after 15 years with HP. Laid off a few months ago. Now started with a military shack in the same neighborhood. Base salary $170k.”
I’m happy that you found a better job but wild horse couldn’t drag me to Kalifornia no matter how much money is involved. I hear that San Diego is one of the nicer areas to live but the leftist politicians are slowly destroying your state.
TRUUUUUUU
Rumor - HP is a joke of a company! True or false?
I do not understand why I’m getting downvoted. It’s true. I make almost 71k after almost 3 years with HP.
I make 70k in Houston after 3 years.
I used to make around $135k in SD after 15 years with HP. Laid off a few months ago. Now started with a military shack in the same neighborhood. Base salary $170k.
Ahhhhhh, k.
K = thousand
What does “k” mean after the 150?
We are all sc--wed. No bonuses and more layoffs after the new year. Best regards.
Nah, some of us like to get high and shitpost. I’m actually unemployed.
Seems like Socrates struck a nerve. People are so emotional nowadays…
I guess Socrates down there has a bachelor in arts. 3 mill ain’t sh-t nowadays. And ok Socrates, making the assumption that this hypothetical person made 150k a year, so your “pure undisputed fact” is actually garbage. It took them decades of kissing other men’s a-s’s to get there. In the end, Socrates, you’re likely a poor person riddled with debt. Now you gotta stay here 3 more years to get ur stock thingy.
“150k after 20+ years at a company is nothing anyone should be proud of.”
$150,000 x 20 = $3,000,000
The quoted statement above is an opinion based on worthless speculation that derives from petty human emotion, while the mathematical equation below it is a pure undisputed fact.
Interpret the information that matters and resonates closely to the person you are, or aspire to become. It could be the difference between being perceived as someone who can “walk the walk” versus someone who is just “all talk”.
150k after 20+ years at a company is nothing anyone should be proud of. Yes 150 is a lot of money, but considering the factors, no. This isn’t normal yall???? If you continue to accept low wages nothing will ever change.
150k is a lot of money to most people.
This holiday season, I hope the middle mangers get laid off. They bring no value to the company. They also seem to have sad lives. I hope I’m not 55 making 150k. That’s soul crushing. Anyways, I still want them to be fired so they have to face their miserable personal lives head on.
You think you are better off with a 90% pay cut?
It's a small company. I'm sure if I went to Meta or Google, my salary would triple. My point is that HP only offered small raises unless your name was known throughout the company.
“getting paid more than 10% of what I made at HP”
That doesn’t sound very good.
Sorry typo...
no longer there* .... not "than".
My condolences to you and other CWs. I was a FTE at HP until last year. It's disappointing to hear that CWs are getting furloughed yet again.... and again... and again... and oh you know what, it's just endless now. It just seems like since covid, CWs were always handed the short end of the straw despite them basically being the unsung heroes during covid when no one else was in the office. Absolutely zero appreciation for CWs. I always treated you all well because not only were the majority of my team CWs but also because they seemed to always have more personal struggles than me, not including the furloughs.
The future of HP is really going to be nothing but internal favoritism and high-five culture, CWs still getting mistreated, and outsourcing R&D resources to countries who don't really care to reciprocate any appreciation. Sure everything that I mentioned already happened is already here but this sort of rift is just going to keep growing. I've been out of the big tech industry and I work with someone who left HP in 2009. He mentioned that before he left, he was training TDC basically how to do his job. I told recently that he's not missing out on anything because the talent that he was providing to HP is no longer than and will likely never return.
Sad, sad world for companies like HP and Dell. They talk the talk but will never walk the walk ever again. I just shake my head even today when I hear the volatility of this industry making poor decisions and suppliers that are about to fall off a cliff, like Intel.
I promise you all that there's really something much better than HP out there who can really use your talent for something extremely productive. The only thing I miss at HP are the relationships I made but I honestly got over that fairly quickly. There are times where I do miss what I did at HP but I know that what I'm doing now is significantly more technical and I have way more training tools at my new job. I work for a much smaller company and getting paid more than 10% of what I made at HP. No internal politics, no "feel good" culture, and the CEO is more straight forward with the state of the company.
Godspeed to everyone still at HP, FTE or CW.
My bi--h of a boss basically told us that there are a lot of layoffs coming. Seems like they’re gonna wait until after the new year. Darn grinches.
A CW here, some input from my agency. They are hearing rumors of yet another furlough surrounding the year end shut down for us CW's. This is additional time to the shut down. No official word yet, but based on past experience, there is yet another furlough in the works. So far this year I have had 6 weeks off in unpaid furloughs. Thank goodness for unemployment benefits.
Tend to agree, word is sr director and above.
I agree with everything Hellen Keller is saying below me. I think the middle managers and execs are probably the most d-mb of them all. It would be a huge cost savings to fire all the middle managers because they are essentially slide monkeys - they look at the work their team does and put it in a pretty power point template for Lord Director. Let’s follow Amazon and fire all these people!!!!
I haven’t heard much but WOW so many people truly need to be laid off. I have worked at a few companies during my career, never have I been surrounded by so many stupid people. I don’t understand how HP employees some of the lowest intelligence folks I’ve ever met. No wonder we are doing so bad, we have grown adults that won’t read a full paragraph and need it broken down in bullets with fancy fonts and colors. BRING ON THE LAYOFFS.
Announcement will come after fiscal year results are released on November 26. Be afraid… be very afraid…
