IF HPE is going to reduce the amount of countries where people are working for HPE to half (get rid of people in 80 countries) and further "consolidate" the efforts/resources into 40 countries, it would be a good canditate for all-time layoffs on a global scale.
But, u hav labor unions, customer contracts, etc. that might put some rocks in the way. Being a non-French company none of these rocks might really matter.
Does performance include sleeping on the job like most people do around here - INCLUDING "management"?.
There are very few poor performers left - they were cleared out long ago. I think we can expect layoffs if we reduce the number of countries in which we work from160 to 80 and if, of the 80, we focus most of the effort on the 45 or so where we do 95% of the business.
Anyone still employed at HPE deserves whatever comes to them. If they don't respect themselves, why should anyone else.<<
Good heavens...grow up.
I think the truth is a bit simpler. They will probably just start with closing operations (offices) and decrease number of people. They actually did something similar two years ago. This does not have anything with employee performance. Poor performers are always candidates for WFR and that's normal and expected. But it is extremely important to correctly recognize who and on which position perform poorly. And that's the place where corporations and people inside usually make compromise, especially when it comes to higher positions.
you must be a management stooge prowling this site to p--p around and drop idiotic comments.

Those that have been around a while know what 'looking at performance' means. It means tightening the criteria even more than what it already is. You have to walk on water just to be in the middle band of the performance curve. Anything less, you get put on the lower band and that is the pool from which the next graduating class will be selected.
I do not know about the 'hazy process' alluded to in a previous comment.
It is NOT hazy at ALL!!!
Your performance is strictly and scientifically, rationally, objectively defined as being "inversely proportional to your age", at the 60% level, and "inversely proportional to how badly your co-workers talk about you" at the 10% level, and "what your boss thinks about the way you comb you hair, and the quality of your social life and political opinions" at the 30% level.
VERY strictly by the numbers, it is!
You mean the process that triggered a class action lawsuit for being "hazy?" They just sent out a survey asking about the "hazy" process. My guess is that most responders responded that it's a fake process. You think they're going to use that to lay off more people? I would say that prediction is "hazy" at best.
One of the things HPENext is going to do is to take a serious look at employee Performance. As if the existing Performance rating process is not bad enough. This is a writing on the wall that they are going to drag down the performance rating of lots of employees this quarter. It is a ploy to lay off even more people by year end.
