How many among the top talent do you think will want to relocate to Texas, of all places? The majority will chose changing the company over leaving. I can guarantee you this. To save a buck, HPE will lose much, much more in the long run. Honestly, how many here are planning to relocate?

HPE no longer has a soul or employees that even believe in the company SO SAD. Only chance for HPE to survive is to sell to some company with a future. Antonio has been a terrible CEO! It was such an insult to give him an award for 2020. The company shut down one factory before the replacement was up and running....Covid gave him an excuse but all of the employees knew it was an excuse. His mistakes cost a lot of jobs for great people. He should be ashamed and step down!
HPE will finally move to India.
Office or no office. any job that can be offshored will be offshored.

Here’s a career tip for you: you had better knock down the door demanding to get back into an HPE office. After all, if you convince management that you can do the job remotely, they will ensure some slug in Taiwan will be doing it remotely and you will be SOL. Don’t be so naive. You’re welcome.

There IS NO top talent at HPE. At any level. That is why the company is in the shape it’s in.
Anyone with 1/3 of a brain and 12 ounces of self respect left more than 5 years ago. The rest of you are just baggage.
A few years ago, HP Roseville closed. They offered relocation to Houston. Less than 10% took it. Strangely Houston took 10% as a huge success and celebrated. I suspect they were celebrating dumping a lot of pre-merger HP people.
At this point they will get to close the doors and turn off the lights.
I remember back in the 90s when HP decided to relocate their HP-UX Support Center from Bellerica MA to Atlanta GA. They offered a fairly generous relo package but very few people took it. Most of them walked across the street and took jobs at Sun's new MA campus rather than move to GA. I was a GE sys admin at the time and we had about 3000 HPUX workstations and around a hundred HP-UX servers. Prior to the move, HP-UX support was excellent, afterwards, it went straight down the toilet. After I joined HP a few years later, I was told that HP management had been caught completely off guard when so few accepted the relo. They must have been clueless because anyone who was at all familiar with the workforce in MA could have easily foreseen this happening. It sounds like HPE management is still without a clue. Thank God I'm retired and no longer own any HPE stock!
IN terms of HPE LOSING ITS BEST,That ship has already sailed
only the homo"s will stay in CA
Until HPE changes it's mind - which it will. Don't fall for it. Move within driving distance of an office. This remote working is a fad that comes around every couple of years. Sure. it makes sense during Covid but once it's under control HPE will change it's mind and you will be told to come to an office.

If you work at HPE, by definition, you have no talent, as you would have left years ago if you had skills and courage to do so.
The more people that move home, the better California will be. In fact. everyone should move to Texas. Enjoy.
Great plan, move to Texas, then get laid off there, cost of living will allow you to live off your HPE stock for longer.
Does HPE still have "talents". All talents goes to FANG or similar companies, what's left is what left. You'd be severely underpaid at HPE if you are really a "talent"
The median list price of homes in Spring, TX was $295K in October 2020, trending up 6% year-over-year. The median listing price per square foot was $114. Compare that with San Jose - in October 2020, the median list price of homes in San Jose, CA was $998K, trending up 10.9% year-over-year. The median listing price per square foot was $639. The median sale price was $1.1M.
I can keep my San Jose home as a rental and still afford to buy in Spring (or surrounding communities) and come out on top!
Prepare for a pay cut y'all.... Bay Area is US3 and TX is US1... pay differential is roughly 15% - it happens automatically in the system when your zip code changes. It happened to me.
I am going to move - the quality of life in California is getting worse each and every day. With all of the continuous fails from the idio+s in Sacramento and rising taxes, I will be happily relo to a state w/lower cost of living, lower real estate costs and better quality of life. I'm sick of paying ridiculously high rents and taxes!
I'm not alone, as my peers all have a similar view
