Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Layoffs

Invitation to "self Identify" your disability status

We (in the US) received the e-mail inviting us to go into Workday and update our disability status - and while we are there we can also consider updating our race, ethnicity, gender and military status. Sounds like the HR machine is gearing up for... read more

Don't get too comfortable

I know we haven't seen any major layoffs for a few months now, but I think it's far too early to become optimistic. We're nowhere close to originally announced savings, and I'm afraid that it's just a matter of time before anther major layoffs... read more

Has the atmosphere improved?

I've been given a rather generous offer to return which has left me pondering whether to accept it. Under Meg Whitman's leadership, HP/HPE was a company that was repeatedly reorganizing, spinning off, and laying off. I could not see a future with... read more

HPE Engineers in Cube-Land Have an Amazing Resemblance to Prairie Dogs in Prairie-Dog Towns

An HPE job can stimulate LOTS of diverse thoughts about LOTS of things, to include ethology (the study of human and animal behavioral mechanisms as biological adaptations) and anthropology and history (the next and higher levels of evolution in... read more

What's the minimum notice for quitting?

I know the usual is two weeks, but I'd rather not tell my manager until I really have to. I want to make his life just a little bit more harder after the hell he put me through in the past several months. Are there any repercussions I could face if I... read more

Reprieve for SOME Houston MFG Workers for SOME Time...

Houston's attempt to move MFG to Austin Flextronixs has been (is being) a disaster, a debacle , complete with slipped schedules and massive costs over-runs. So now, those last lingering MFG workers in Houston (mostly contractors?), whose heads WERE... read more

Deja vu all over again

"Selecting the salesperson (Phil Davis) instead of the engineer (Ana Pinczuk), indicates that HPE thinks that their problem is merely one of sales and marketing." Kind of like when Carly replaced Lew Platt as CEO. Didn't work then, won't work now... read more

Favoritsm was the key

I was laid off before the merge to Micro Focus and I had many co-workers who undermined me and tried to micro manage me with harrasment daily. I was never recognized for my work not once and I gave my all and did what the manager wanted. I believe it... read more

HPE is Pathetically Addicted to Layoffs; Newbies Are Especially Vulnerable

If you (as an individual productivity unit) really-really-really would like to take a ½-year (or more) break from work, and can afford to make it on unemployment payments alone, come to HPE; your wish will almost definitely eventually be granted!... read more

Surprise, Surprise! More Layoffs Coming Your Way!

Management has THREE passes scheduled, for refining their layoffs planning cycles! The more cycles of planning, the more layoffs! (If they were planning to lay off a mere 10 people, can you imagine more than 1 round of planning?). I have it from good... read more

Is there a Micro Focus section on this site? Can't seem to find it. Thanks.

Dig Hole, Fill Hole, Dig Hole, Fill Hole, Repeat for Infinite Futility… It’s the HPE Way to Kill Your Morale!

In the military, in POW (Prisoner Of War) training, the simulated prison guards had us simulated prisoners dig a hole, fill it, and then repeat the same, over and over again. The lesson? There is no faster way to demoralize someone, than to... read more

Bullying @ HPE

On the bullying, just some suggestions... Find out in your state, is it legal for you to tape-record (or otherwise auto-record) conversations in which you are a part of. In some states (Illinois for example) you have to ask the other person's... read more

Forcing people to quit

Lately it feels like HPE has given up on layoff in exchange of forcing people to leave on their own. Bullying at workplace is out of control, and there are zero repercussions for main offenders. I've seen two people quit in the past month due to... read more

Achtung! Beware! Anti-“New Guy” Tricks Being Played on"New Guy" to Work Group

If you liked the move “Office Space”, and would like to work in a job environment like that, I suggest HPE’s job openings. The recent specialty of the house is what I would call “impractical humor”, because it makes it impractical to actually get... read more

Q3 WFR's , but none this 4th of July week!

Just, thinkin again ... It's Monday and I have to do somethin. No WFR's this morning due to holiday on Wednesday. USA only. But, Monday the 9th or the 16th, could be another round. It fits the two week rule. Just splanin... It could be another Epic... read more

Mid-Year Bonus

Any word on your % ?

Hopefully the new CMO/CCO will do a much better job than Gomez...

If you are an old-timer on this site, you'll remember well Gomez's obsession on having his team lurking on and discrediting any negative comments posted here against Meg's execution and overall strategy. Have you noticed how nowadays there are barely... read more

HPE Outsourcing it's Recruiting and Compliance Teams

I just found out that they are outsourcing their entire Recruiting Team to Korn Ferry mid next year. All of recruiting I believe, globally. We have a meeting with Alan May, CPOm tomorrow.

Younger Sibling HPQ is laying of 5000.

Younger Sibling HPQ is laying of 5000 in coming months. Will the disease spread to the older Sibling HPE as well? Time will tell.

VOW Time!

Don't forget to respond to the VOW - looks like they "want to hear from us" (But, do they want to know how we really feel!?!)

I Think HP Employees are Safe

You all are safe. The layoffs are over. There is now exactly the right number of people to keep the lights on.

Thank You to the Hewletts and the Packards -

Thank you for everything that you did for my family. Looking out the "windows" I see the Glendenning Barn and I wondered over the Building 57 and rank in to a "Duke" Best Wishes.

Layoffs "working better than planned"

Anybody worried about the fact that HPE executives are boasting the fact that reducing headcount is working out much better than they expected? If this becomes a go to tactic to improve business (even if I firmly believe that any gains are only... read more

Former HPE Employee looking for W2

Let go in January of 2017. ADP site shows 2015, 2016, but no 2017. Paper copy received in the mail was accidentally destroyed and now I need it. Of course I’m in a time crunch, so the email route that takes days to weeks for a response is not... read more

Any readings on potential workforce re-alignment after Q2 results released yesterday?

Any readings on potential workforce re-alignment after Q2 results released yesterday? Anyone? The stock appears to have taken a big hit today. This after good results posted yesterday.

While we rant here, HPE is partying hard at Nashville with Aspire festival

You can see all the partying in social media of Aspire participants in Nashville. Those people are doing the right thing by enjoying every freakin dime of HPE by partying and drinking all the Kool Aid. Just say YES to everything the executives are... read more

Root Cause? Yer Mama Didn’t Raise You Right!

Root Cause? Yer Mama Didn’t Raise You Right! Whoa, people! Two whole days, and no fresh new posts at all?!? Whazzzup with that??! … Lemme stir it up a bit. There’s been a lot of posts here about bad office politics at HPE, mostly-probably caused by... read more

Benefits post layoff

Oh yeah, for those that are being laid off and let go, please note that we were not allowed to continue our life insurance policy either, not even at a higher premium, so, don't count on it. Is this true? What about health coverage? Is there any way... read more

Good Fishing -

Mid year bonus was just a lie

There was a lot of noise on this website about the emperor doling out mid year bonuses. The emperor and the cronies made a big deal about it at the coronation as well. All a bunch of lies. Looks like the cronies like may and june have been feeding... read more

Arrogance as downfall

I personally think that the reason WHY HPE top mismanagement can NOT get acquisitions to be successes, is flat-out arrogance! They immediately think that they know more than the experts at the company that they just acquired, and that they can lay... read more

HPE clutchinig at straws buying up tadpoles

https://news.hpe.com/hpe-acquires-redpixie-to-strengthen-cloud-consulting-expertise/ a UK based consultancy of approximately 70 staff, most of which will be out the door tomorrow as they dont want to work for a multinational

Does HPE now have unlimited FTO?

Carly introduced unlimited sick time, I wonder if the Emperor has included FTO along with it. DXC recently implemented unlimited FTO. I heard only at a max of 2 week increments and depends on "business needs". I expect the Emperor will bring... read more

Something positive

It's been a long time since I read something positive about HPE. Not that I think this changes our situation in any way, but it was a nice distraction for a moment. HPE shines in IDC Converged Systems tracker, Cisco does not... read more
