There were more layoffs this week. In the US and UK. Don't know the total numbers but I know of a few individuals that got their notice this past Monday, some in Plano, some in the UK. Manager says to expect these to continue thru 2016 and probably 2017 as well. It will never end, not as long as we have the 'leadership' that we have now where they answer to the stock holders and could care less about destroying a once great company.

Laid off today. From Virginia and my job was senior. I'm over 55. My department has two openings for entry level people.
Lots of good posts here. HPE management are idiots. They ask "who's the next group of leeches (i.e. employees) that we can dump?". People over 50? Teleworkers with no local HP office? Ya, those are great ideas!
No management direction, no products, no support for improving the customer experience, no money for training, no money for travel, no regard for employees. Only consideration is milking the last few dollars out of HP before the executives retire. Bastards.
I was told this week that I will be leaving at the end of the month, quite a relief finally knowing after over 4 years of indecision. It is the people left to try and cover all the vacant jobs I feel sorry for!
"High salary and less productive engineers are one of major problems for HP enterprise."
High salaries are fine if you leverage that talent and experience. Problem is HP management wouldn't know good practice if it smashed them in the face.
So they go back to the only thing they know: cut costs and hope somehow when they are nigh on a 100% cheap shore factory model, they can still pretend some kind of market advantage over their identically run competition to get any business.
In the UK they are extending contracts and signing £100m's of new business based on existing service performance and capabilities. This is directly reliant on staff HPES know they'll be laying off in under 12 months. HP are lying to their clients and hoping they'll muddle through the resulting problems. Apparently as far as service is concerned, "HP has a high appetite for risk going forward". Read that how you like - if you are a client of HPES, l suggest you run away, and that right soon!
Yey more jobs for us in manilla
It would have more problems, if HP enterprise kept deploying too many early retirement employees.
High salary and less productive engineers are one of major problems for HP enterprise.
Cost reduction and proficient managements are very crucial.
