HPE has been staging contractors on those government contracts... obviously, NewCorp wasn't going to be allowed to keep those contracts under CSC ownership. With the change, it means a bloodbath on both sides, as HPE sheds all those "expensive" employees on government contracts in favor of those temps who presumably have been busy transferring knowledge over the last two or three months. Manager turnover has been high in those groups too... indicating some troubling policies being sent down from the board. I doubt CSC employees will fill any roles on those particular contracts; as for the rest, it will be a race to offshore as much of the non-government stuff as possible.

Csc has until Dec. 31st to offload as many people as possible and avoid 401k match....could be an interesting 6 weeks coming......

It's not HPE that is getting 50.1% of the New Company stock but the sharelholders of HPE.

Well HPE is getting 50.1 % of the New Company stock and CSC is 49.9 % so technically HPE is the major steak holder.

Either way the employee's of both are screwed , except for the VERY high level management

Well that's quite different wording.
