Topics regarding layoffs at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

Layoffs started

My manager was laid off yesterday and initially thought he left but he posted on LinkedIn stating juniper acquisition . Any other team seeing this ?

HPE Cloud

This is prolly a d-mb question and might ruffle some feathers but, shouldn't HPE be a major cloud player with AWS, Google, and Microsoft? Was HPE not positioned to compete with those companies?

The HPE Way (still)

This is (still) the HPE Way. From Glassdoor. "August of 2014 a Rehire Restriction Policy was put into place that stated any employee who exits the company through any of our "paid" programs such as Phased Retirement, Enhanced Early Retirement... — read more 

More chaos on the way

The HPE acquisition of Juniper is facing significant scrutiny. The Democratic Senators are urging the courts (Democratic Judge) to use its authority under the Tunney Act to investigate the settlement's terms & the process by which it was reached. ... — read more 

HPE's Rehire (Blacklisted) Policy in Action

I was laid off from HPE in 2020. I was 55 at the time, and I firmly believe age was a factor. Since then, I’ve seen my old job—or near duplicates of it—posted and filled over and over. I’ve applied 15 to 20 times. Every single time, rejected. .. — read more 

International travel on H-1B before ED1

Until ED1 jn November, there’s the chance that layoffs can happen any time, right? As such, if we’re in the US on H-1B, should we cancel all international travel before ED1?

Inappropriate and unprofessional posts

There are a lot of folks on here that have been impacted by layoffs, so why the negative, unprofessional posts by what appears to be gainfully employed HPE employees? Wondering why they are "trolling" on a site that is meant for commentary and... — read more 

Resignations

How does HpE handle resignations? If you give two weeks to they get rid of you earlier but still pay the two weeks? I guess there is no more owed vacation pay.

No New Upper Management

How has upper management (SVPs) been able to avoid being affected by layoffs? How effective has their leadership been? Like what are they doing to stay relevant? I've always found that very odd.

Anyone here who was laid off recently?

I’ve been looking for another job for months. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. I’m starting to panic. If there’s anyone else in the same boat with advice, or anyone who’s been lucky enough to land something and can share their experience, please do. I’ve tried... — read more 

Horrible Keynote at HPE Discover

Was it just me or did Antonio's keynote seem extremely flat with no substance. Given where the company is at, one would think there would be more exciting news and products coming to market. Very disappointing.

No company has disappointed me more than HPE

I was with hpe from its inception. I have never been treated so poorly by an employer, managers and coworkers. I was cursed out by a manager during a review. I was lied to about having to work over Thanksgiving 500 miles from home. I was demoted and... — read more 

UK Culling has started

Haven't seen any posts about UK (unless I missed them), so just a shout out that it has started here now - just had a meeting/announcement appear in my calendar. Sector: Hybrid Cloud Role: Software Developer Country: UK Impact / Roles affected: not... — read more 

WFR - Voluntary Severance

Is there a voluntary option to WFR yourself or is it just compulsory only? If not then surely it would be kinder to offer an incentive to those who are happy to leave rather than force out others? What metrics are being used? Can't be performance... — read more 

Could HPE be acquired?

HPE’s market cap is $23B. I think that’s small enough to make them an acquisition target. It would make sense for Hitachi to buy HPE to solidify their presence in the US. The question is whether that would be something they would want. — read more 

Incoming WFRs for Server BU

Hearing Neil is shutting down the GPU Cloud Services Business and major reorgs are inbound. Rumor is he had marketing pull their booth from HPE Discover. WFRs to start June 2nd, right before earnings....

Stuck in the past

HPE is stuck in the past with extreme micromanagement that ki-ls any chance for real initiative. Career growth moves at a glacial pace unless you’re willing to play political games and focus solely on pleasing multiple layers of management. .. — read more
