I've submitted over two dozen applications since last month and so far I've gotten no bites. I usually had no issues landing an interview before now, so to say that I'm starting to worry would be an understatement. I think there are too many of us... —  read more

If HP has over 50,000 employees and plans on laying off 6,000 isn’t that only around 10% of the workforce being laid off or about 1 person laid off for every 10 people employed at the company? If this is true then doesn’t that mean that most of us... —  read more 

This is your last chance to try and find a new job before the tech job market completely collapses. I have no intention of putting myself in such a situation and neither should you.

The job market right now is not good in IT. And if your primary work experience the last 10 years or more has been exclusively HP, you’re in an even worse situation UNLESS you have been able to gain significant experience with Cloud. If all you know... —  read more

I think it's unfair to drop a bo-b that 6k employees will be laid off over the next three years and not provide any additional info. It would be great to know if the management plans to implement a few major rounds or if we're looking at constant... —  read more 

Make them lay you off! Make HP pay a hefty price to get rid of you if the management wasn't willing to pay to keep you. Attrition at this point helps nobody but the management. What do you have to lose if you wait a bit longer to make sure you're not... —  read more

I'm worried that the company is planning to reduce severance packages to save more money, which will be devastating for many people. I think offering good severance with at least three weeks per year and extended medical coverage would go a long way... —  read more 

My manager behaves exactly like that, as if none of us have any other option, and therefore should be grateful that we still have a job here. I assume that other managers also have this attitude?

Year-end bonuses were very low this year, like one month's worth of groceries after tax. The CEO did warn about it though. What was your experience in other organizations?

I've been happy here for most of the last decade. I'm not sure what happened recently, but after 20 years in this industry, my every move is being second-guessed! What the he-l is going on here? Am I being pushed out intentionally? Do they want me to... —  read more 

When the layoffs hit, if you're not prepared with enough savings, several irons in the fire regarding a new job, and an active network you can turn to just in case, you'll only have yourself to blame. HP gave us more than enough advance notice for... —  read more

Been working on the weekends since it’s considered “busy” season for my team. Anybody else in the same boat? I think management is asking me to do this on purpose so I can resign and say it was due to a low work life balance but I’m a CW so maybe... —  read more

Hp has a long history of laying off people this time of year. Wave as your job goes to india!

I absolutely understand if this post gets downvotes, but the truth is that the company has many people who have been doing almost nothing for a long time and it's a good thing for the company to be getting rid of dead wood. I think the ratio of... —  read more

Why is there no concrete info on layoff timing?

Those who had skills left this place a long time ago. That's a fact. Most of the rest of us are here only because we don't have enough skills to find something better. However, those who were cut a while ago, some of whom I am still in contact... —  read more

Layoffs began first thing this morning. Nothing like getting let go just before the holidays. Why does HP have a habit of laying off people just before Thanksgiving? They know companies won't start hiring until after New Years.

I have a feeling they want to save on severances and are now putting pressure on some of us to quit. The expectations have become completely unreasonable and the verbal abuse by my manager has intensified in the last month or so. I can't go to HR... —  read more 

Well, enjoy yourselves because the ride is not going to last much longer. HP is no sweetheart, it's ruthless and will dump employees at the drop of a hat. A flat business with poor recent earnings, with a recent expensive acquisition, AND with a... —  read more
