We desperately need a Management Steering Team revamp immediately in order to "try" To still save this Company. Meg, several Board members, and most of her staff need to leave their positions... They have proved they are not the right leadership for this Company. If Wall Street and the key investors have any real interest in keeping HPE alive, they will force that change after the Q2 results are communicated. At least on my group, Q2 is looking even worse than Q1 at this point. The pressure is incredible on us to generate revenue, but how can we do that if our prices are too high; we miss commitment after commitment; and our competitors have similar or better products and services? I got furious when Meg referenced "execution problems" as part of the issues on the Q1 call, like implying employees are not performing. HPE's woes are not "execution" issues, but "vision" and lack of strategic management issues (starting at the very top). Meg will never accept she failed. She must be forced out. What the heck are investors waiting for? Banket on short terms gains by selling this company in pieces? Come on... Under the right Managent this Company can become again a big cash cow...

My opinion, way toooo many stove pipes in the org and getting worse.. Mgt. "says" you must work in an "approved" HPE office, yet... the policy is NOT consistent across business units... and hell, none of the people in my "office" have anything to do with my work or my team.. all of my "team" is 2000 miles away... they want you to leave.. employees are not stupid.. any of the top brass think or care about employee morale.. do they not think a happy employee is a productive one?? They talk about collaboration, hard to collaborate when you have people covering their butts to save themselves from the grim layoff reaper... oh they call it "WFR" really?? IF I wasn't at that bulls eye age of 59, I would leave, but, I hang on until my day comes... hell of a way to live...
Not sure what is worse, being spun off and merged or staying with HPE. Probably the latter, the more involvement Meg has, the more likely your job will go overseas and be sacrificed to bolster Meg's retirement portfolio.
@xzk, that article is in regards to HP.. which never happened. HP didn't get acquired & Meg is sinking HPE now even further, ever since the split. But I agree with the OP.
The reason is explained here :

Whitman would get nearly $91 million if HP gets acquired – more than double her peers – and $51 million if she's forced out (not fired for cause) – again, nearly double.
Amen!
Great post!!!
