WFR and Jobs Moving to India – Manager Said “Use AI and Low Cost Region Labor“
My manager recently said, “Reducing costs and improving efficienc; Use AI and low-cost region labor (per stakeholders).” So AI hasn’t been able to replace the work we do, yet apparently moving the role to a low-cost region is now being treated as the... — read more
Reasons for leaving HPE
For anyone heading out of HPE or already gone, what pushed you to leave? Was it low pay, shaky job security, benefits, or something else? There are a lot of different frustrations building up, it'd be nice to know which one is in the lead.
Layoffs and Trust
It’s hard to understand how a company with HPE’s scale and portfolio continues to struggle to create momentum, and from the inside it feels less market driven and more internal. Constant restructuring, added complexity from acquisitions, and unclear... — read more
New Channel Chief?
Do we think Mackintosh's departure was negotiated or his choice? I'm a big fan of Ben Fallon.
Pitts is digging deeper - nTonio dumps stock?
What's happening?
Goodbye Telco
The company just announced selling the telco business to HCLTech. I would be jumping ship. If the company is politely saying that they don’t want this business anymore, then you might be worse off than at HCLTech.
Does anyone work normal hours anymore?
Forty hours feels like a fantasy. Everyone I know is logging fifty plus, and that is treated as normal. At what point did this become the expectation?
Has anyone heard about bonuses and raises?
My guess is plenty of first and second line management are going to have tough conversations this week.
sad to see
Real players are Aruba going forward, and he's the guy where they pull the string on his back and watch the show for a few minutes. You can tell he's just copying himself, wondering how to get a seat at the adults table for the big dinner.
WFR ???
Has anyone ever heard of an employee with less than 7 years at HPE ask to be on the WFR list?
Layoffs in Sales Org
Looks like the grinch is coming early, org getting hit this week.
Has HPE Drifted Too Far
I’ve been around HPE (HP) a long time, and I’m still hopeful about this company. But it’s only a matter of time before there are serious changes at the top, Antonio and parts of the board included. We need to clean out the toxic, arrogant pockets of... — read more
Zerto doesn't do anything
the place is a ghost town.
Sure is awful quiet before the holiday layoffs start.
You can almost smell it in the air!

Integration Lemmings working hard to layoff themselves
Integration meetings between HPE and Juniper are in full steam and it is interesting to see the human psyche there. All lemmings working day and night, knowing that as soon as integration is complete, they will the first one to be let go. Toiling... — read more
Tone deaf 10 year celebrations
What’s the point of these celebrations when the very people that made this happen are let go? No meaningful strategy when it comes to these layoffs. Those at the top are coasting while those who do the actual work are treated like cr-p. Trust... — read more
More layoffs coming
They're being super quiet about it, but the fact of the matter is that there are more layoffs happening inside this company and it seems mainly due to the merger with Juniper. The surprising thing is that it isn't just traditional overlap functions... — read more
Do you miss me, yet?
We were a well oiled machined when I ran Operations.
More layoffs this week
All work going to India.
"What to do with all these sales people" -Toni
Rumor has it that Toni doesn't know "what to do with all these sales people". Apparently unimpressed with the Juniper sales teams. Are you ready? Get ready!
Teri the manipulator
14bn$ spent and 1 bn additional revenue to show for next 4 quarters and still a weak guidance for FY26. What a masterstroke by Teri to cover up his incompetence.Now watch Rami dancing around for next 3 years as he takes down HPE along with his... — read more
HPE Romania outsourcing GFAO org
does anyone have any details about the so called "co-sourcing" venture HPE is planning with Deloitte in Romania? All I'm thinking it's a masked lay-off. HR announced Global Finance and Accounting Organization will move to Deloitte as part of a... — read more
Any word on the impact on IT?
Has anyone heard about how IT is impacted? If so, what kind of changes (teams hit, roles affected) and which side?
to reduce pay levels & boost profits all firms using AI scare mongering. Long way to go before is reliable

Wrong people in management positions
Our so-called “leader” just repeats buzzwords while others do the real work. You can practically hear the eye rolls in meetings. How people like that keep getting ahead while those who do the actual work stay stuck is beyond me.

Moving to HPE
Need your help to make a decision on the offer.. An old timer here got the transfer letter with a role change and a decreased bonus. My manager tells me that although the percentage is lower, the funding is usually 200-300% Has it been that good... — read more
Stop telling people to quit
A lot of folks say to just quit if we don't like it here, but that’s not realistic for everyone. IT jobs aren’t falling off trees right now, and we'd be competing with a lot of people, especially those of us mid-career or older. Best thing we can do... — read more
Still no layoffs on our side?
It sounds almost too good to be true.
Is there no one else that can lead?
Why does HPE keep shuffling the same leaders around? Is there no one else in their mind that can do a lot of these jobs? Doesn’t look like people that want to move up will get the chance. Plus all of it feels mundane and routine nothing exciting... — read more
Leave if you can
If you have any option to get out, do it. The stress and mismanagement here aren’t worth sticking around for.

Bad news: another record quarter!
You know what that means folks! Which group will get cut the deepest?
How will I know?
I currently work for Juniper Networks. If I am offered a job at HPE, how will I know if they want me for the long term, if they’re just testing me to see if they want me, or if they already know they only want me for the short term and plan to make... — read more
I don't think we need to worry about more layoffs
Juniper folks should definitely worry, because the brunt of this is going to hit them.
Dell vs HPE
My husband was laid off from Dell (back in July) after 10 years there, but was recently offered a similar role at HPE, and for better pay than what he was making at Dell (in sales). My concern is HPE will just be more of the same, understaffed... — read more
