I guess that way too many managers took the early retirement offer. Now HP is hiring a boat load of managers - in print.
Also, many of the production crew in print took the offer too. Those positions are now being filled with CW's.
It looks like there is a reduction of HP employees through early retirement, but they are being replaced by CW's at a fast rate.
This is at the Corvallis site.
Probably just contract gigs. Useful info from former employees at http://www.hpalumni.org/asap
In Boise? If that is the role I think it is, all of those people in that department are really good people. It was the only part of the company that was actually growing as far as I was aware. A large chunk of MPS over sees DaaS (Managed PCs) on the tech side.
Boise is looking to fill a contract PM role/managed print services, speaking with the recruiter now. Very hesitant to take this for soooo many reasons...
500 is actually quite a few considering the low number of people over 50 at HP.
I heard that less than 500 took early retirement.
Is there any official information to back this up or correct it?
