The silence is deafening. The silence is deafening.The silence is deafening. Almost 48 hours since the news about the impending layoffs hit the news services and yet there has been nothing in my HP email about this except for an invitation to watch Meg's performance at the HP Securities Analyst Meeting. Not a word.

Does anyone have that Nefkens email? Can you share?
“high-cost countries” and moving them to low-cost countries
I thought he was thinking The Bay Area (high cost) vs. Nashville (low cost)
Your ass is toast. You live in a high cost country called the U.S.A. I would move to Costa Rica if I were you as there will likely be growth there.
Most of the cuts will occur in HP’s long-troubled Enterprise Services unit and may be offset by new hires in that unit. The head of the group, Mike Nefkens, outlined a plan under which it is cutting jobs in what he called “high-cost countries” and moving them to low-cost countries. He said that by the end of HP Enterprise’s fiscal year 2018, only 40 percent of the group’s workforce will be located in high-cost countries. “We will be delivering our services from fewer sites” and in countries where labor costs are lower, he said. The plan will save about $2 billion per year, he said.
