Myself and a lot of other poly employees are wondering when the bonusses are being paid by HP or salary increase what is discussed last year already and nobody got a answer
Were you laid off? WARN Act
The WARN Act requires an employer to notify employees, in writing, 60 days before a layoff, and pay the employee for those 60 days, in addition to any severance the employee may be entitled to. Unfortunately, some employers attempt to circumvent the... — read more
I'm getting worried
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
Don't take your chances staying at HP!
"ALL companies ARE laying off staff at all levels big time right now. Don't believe it? Check out what's been happening at Oracle, Intel, Teradata, IBM, Twitter, and a whole lot of other companies. And don't forget to include HP in that list. " This... — read more
Odds of being laid off?
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
Get out now
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.
Never stop looking for new opportunities
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 wish we knew 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
Stop quitting!
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
How does HP determine who gets laid off?
How much of the decision is on the employee's direct manager? I'm going to assume that the pay plays a part in it but some of the decision must be based on how well somebody is performing their role and how essential they are to their team and/or... — read more
Good severance could make a huge difference in the coming layoff
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
Thankful that we have a job
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
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?
Micromanaged on a level I haven't experienced before
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
No excuses
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
Why would anyone want to be hired here now?
Most of us are trying to leave and forget this place as soon as possible, so I don't understand those who would like to be hired here right now.

Anybody else being asked to work on weekends?
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

It was high time that HP cuts dead wood
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
Raise your hand if you're hoping to be among the 6k
I know the job market is not ideal right now with so many getting the boot in the tech sector, but I firmly believe that those of us who're good at what we do will have no issues finding a new job. With that in mind, getting a nice monetary send-off... — read more
No concrete info on layoff timing
Why is there no concrete info on layoff timing?
Working here was always cuts waiting to happen
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
Will HP survive this restructuring?
I would like the company to survive, but I think it will be a real challenge. Restructuring could ruin the company even more. I am looking for a way to exit.
Voluntary layoffs
What are the chances HP will offer voluntary layoffs before the actual involuntary layoffs begin? I know there are at least some people who would like to leave with a decent severance package and giving them an opportunity to volunteer would be... — read more
Warn Notice
It seems that HP must give employees 60 days notice under the Warn Notice or pay them for 60 days in lieu of. Please comment if you have information to the contrary.
"6,000 jobs over the next three years..."
The CEO did not specify when the next 3 years would actually start. Does anyone know?

Let the WFRs begin
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 feel like I'm being pressured to quit
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
Don't expect too much from HP
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
