For the ones that voluntarily decide to stay... NO ONE is safe at HPE. No matter how "business critical" you think you and/or your role are, you are always a potential target (especially if you are over 30 and live in the US). I've even known people in Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Vietnam and India being booted out, so working on a low cost or tax advantage Country doesn't seem to be a safe haven anymore. there's always someone cheaper out there... I guess the question you need to ask yourself is why are you tolerating this unacceptable behavior from an employer that don't give a damn #### about you as an employee? The more you wait, the more competition you'll get out there from desperate well qualified people also looking to land good jobs. Anyone that got laid off 2-3 years ago should consider themselves fortunate, as the market conditions (and competition out there) were not nearly as bad as they are today. The more you wait to start your search, the worse it'll get.
