Censorship

All the good posts on here get deleted. There was a good one about how racist Ernest is but now it’s gone. I think we should all make a discord or skype group to talk and assimilate in a more efficient way. Anonymous, of course.

Layoffs mean no opportunity for promotion

With HP laying off and eliminating managers, directors and senior directors positions, what opportunity is there for growth? Only way to get promoted is if someone leaves. Not much of an incentive to stick around.

January 2025 Layoffs

I am hearing chatter of many people getting laid off today. What is everyone else hearing? Looks like supply chain got hit pretty hard.

Does anyone enjoy working here?

I am genuinely curious. This is a mid tech company at best, seems like we get shafted on bonus and merit increases. What’s everyone else’s opinion? Consumers don’t even think about HP.

Next VIA survey

My boss somehow knew it's me who left answers?? Surveys in companies often seem biased due to poor question design, limited answer options, fear of repercussions, management influence, sampling bias, cultural pressures, or selective data... — read more 

Next eXeCuTivE to leave

Ludgate is leaving. Who do you guys think is next? I’m hoping it’s Ernest (idk his last name) or Alex Cho.

CW furlough

That time of the year again. I hope I just get laid off this time.

NO BONUS EMAIL

Hey everyone. Here’s the email every employee got the day before Thanksgiving! Cheers! Yesterday HP announced results for FY2024, and Enrique talked about our strong momentum and his confidence heading into FY25. He also described how profitability... — read more 

HP is failing

HP is failing. Did everyone get that terrible email on Wednesday? Our reputation is sinking too.

MANDATES BACK TO OFFICE

Some Reading employees, including myself, are now required to come to the office. Does this apply globally, or is it just here?

LAYOFFS ANNOUNCEMENT

New layoffs will be announced this month. However if you are a web developer then you will be safe because HP needs all the help they can get from these folks during this time of the year.

Community.. (office party) events

How much time are the people spending on an "event", which is happening every other week? I see many regulars attending or planning the "events" (they're office parties really). Makes me wonder how much of their time are spent in their actual... — read more 

Bonus Targets and The New CFO

Well, I am guessing our Bonus Targets with be close to nothing to cover the compensation package offered to the new CFO. It’s concerning that leadership justifies these high compensation packages (see below), particularly when employees are being... — read more 

San Diego closing Oct 2025

Just announced. 100 people will move to new ink technology lab being set up in SD. Rest will relocate to other sites, telework, or WFR.

Next furloughs are in July/August - per rumor

I am a CW. Got a phone call from an agency I use to work for and they asked me if I got laid off from HP. I said no but I had a 2 week furlough in April. They have been in contact with management and told me to expect another furlough in... — read more 

Sales Layoff?!

Someone on the Poly sales side just announced they were laid off. Even though they are coming into HP after a merger, I didn't think that sales was ever laid off unless a company is failing. Living like a pauper so that I can save enough to retire... — read more 

I'd rather be gone

I would happily trade places with somebody who was laid off. I would volunteer for the next round if they allowed it. I'd be overjoyed to learn I was getting paid to leave this place. I'm not trying to minimize what some people are going through, but... — read more 

Mass layoff in PWP

At least 20 WFR HP stuff across CRV and SD including managers and engineers over the last couple of weeks and more to come on 4/29. OPS and R&D. All blamed on weak Japanese yen.

Pay cut for CWs

Been with the company for several years and have switched recruiting agency's time and time again while staying at HP. Why do managers do this instead of just keeping me with one agency? I did not think too much of this in the past because I've... — read more 

April layoffs

I just got hit with a double whammy. A good friend that has been at HP for 8 years just announced that their job is being eliminated at the end of April and sent out goodbye emails. I am a CW and just 4 hours after receiving that goodbye email I... — read more
