In addition to having to deal with layoffs, we have leadership that has no clue what most of us are actually capable of. Their expectations don’t match our skills, ignore our strengths, and waste everyone’s potential. It’s demoralizing to be set up to fail like this.

@pff The company won't love you back. You'd be surprised at how stupid a lot of these layoff choices are, and how stupid and uninformed the management is about details such as your project. Find a startup and put your creative diligence there, where it can be seen and understood. But if after 6 to 12 months you're not in the In Group, leave, because it means you're just going to be exploited.
A Full Time job at HPE is a Temporary Job with Good Health Care Benefits. It is only a matter of time before you are sh!tcanned. It is the HP way. Ask anyone on the street. They will tell you HPE is known for axing their best and brightest when "times get tough"
I never understand posts like this. If you don’t like the company you work for, then leave. Why subject yourself to your own misery and try to blame it on other people?
That is correct. A lot of us feel this way. Leadership from the top to the bottom is effectively checked out.
Bill and Dave are rolling in their graves about what their company became. RIP Hewlett-Packard 1939-1999. Thanks to Carly Fiorina and every sh---y CEO since.
You’re probably new to HPE. This isn’t unusual to feel this way. I left HPE about five years ago. I still talk with my colleagues from HPE. Doesn’t seem like anything has changed. From an outside perspective, Neri looks tired trying to preach the same nonsense… except now with AI or whatever.
Starting? i've hated them for years.
There are more days than not, I wonder how the company gets anything done. It shouldn’t take an Antonio to figure out why Dell is kicking HPEs a$$ in the AI race.
Hate is a really strong feeling towards your employer. If you really feel that way maybe it's time to leave.
