Thread regarding Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) layoffs

I surmise that Granny's been smoking something ...

So Granny thinks she is going to make a flourishing business selling servers in a world where things are fast moving to the Cloud. She moves the company Outlook and apps to Microsoft Cloud and thinks that she's going to be selling servers - I guess the only client in this case would be Microsoft, haha.

The excuses have been going on for many many years but no results except for ever rising layoffs and not the revenues. Granny needs to just shut up and admit that she lost the race for the cloud computing big. Time's up now, please go get some rest and leave the poor employees alone.

HP was first with the concept of an "information appliance" aka the modern smart phone. Joel Birnbaum as hp-labs director was the last in a long line of brilliant inventors. Carly killed that, and a bunch of other programs. When Meg got here it was all over but cleaning up the mess. We can really thank Carly for the current state of HPE, course, Meg hasn't helped a bit.

I think the problem is the employees were left alone from about 1984 to 2017, and that's why nothing new was invented and the startups had plenty of time to innovate and replace HP in tech relevancy.

Whitman was hardly the owner of this downfall. This started in the eighties with ignoring Gates and continued in the 90s with having no vision on the internet and assuming everyone will print forever (so let's focus on meaningless features like increasing print pages per minute and call that real innovation).

I love that a site that constantly whines about age discrimination calls Whitman a granny and is derogatory about her age. Genius.

BYW, if you ever had the balls to leave and work elsewhere, you'd know everyone is going to the cloud and SaaS for everything, not just Outlook.
