Collins, Pat

It is past the half year point in 2019 and this year is supposed to be the last year of the so called "HPE Next" initiative that started about 3 years ago. Are any WFRs or Early retirement offers in the works? Time will tell.

April is totally-freshly arrived, the grass is green, the trees are budding, and the birds are singing! One of the few things that clouds our joyous spring days is, the HPE management would dearly LOVE to preserve our jobs, and not lay us off, and... read more

I'd be curious if anyone currently working at HPE can comment on how this is going now that we're ~6 months into the outsourcing. Needless to say from the Unisys side of things, both companies seem a bit hostile towards each other. Lots of nickel and... read more

I was wfr'd a few years ago from the Fremont office. I've since moved away and work at a much nicer place. Did the Fremont office ever move to San Jose or Milpitas? Are they looking to consolidate all California offices?

Any credible rumors about early retirement offers at hpe? That is a Tool that HP has used in the past every 6 years or so. Did some research on it, the last one was in 2012. Wondering if they will pull that Tool out combined with Layoffs to meet the... read more

I was under the impression there would be no more layoffs for the year, as even Phil said in the last all employee meeting their budget was done for 2018, so no more cuts to be made. I'm hearing now that they are about to start back up again with the... read more

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

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

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
