Did layoffs happen or not? I haven't heard anything at work but that wouldn't be the first time considering the overall lack of communication and transparency at this place. In any case, I would really appreciate it if somebody could confirm if... — read more 

Here we go. Another round.lol

When R&D managers started to leave, that’s when I knew it was time for me to leave too. Luckily, I found a much better position down the street. For the first time in many years, I look forward to work again. Also, for the first time, I get to use my... — read more 

It used to be really important to me to have a great performance review. A lot of stress, a lot of effort went into it.. I did my best to make sure my performance review was as good as possible. But lately I’m thinking more and more about whether... — read more 

Anyone hear anything about our salaries and inflation? I feel like their options are A) just ignore it or B) give everyone raises to match inflation (or more likely a raise but not as much as inflation). But if they try to go the raises route they... — read more 

I’m not happy here because the lack of support from managers is huge. How much support do you get from your manager? I think most employees expect support, but don't get it. This leads to disengagement in the workplace. Why is that so? Why is their... — read more 

From a linkedin post: "Pune will host our state-of-the-art ITOC, and capabilities supporting HPE GreenLake Management Services, HPE Greenlake cloud platform and HPE A&PS Cloud & Apps Services." I would ask if there is a reason to worry, but thats... — read more 

HPE is not in the Linkedin top 50 best places to work. What a surprise.

Of course, the competition will take all the talented engineers because they are not valued at all here. Neither the talents nor their ideas are recognized and so then what quality of product can you expect? There are no quality products here... — read more 

A lot of the comments are rather old are there any new updates on HPE regarding layoffs projections.

Talked to a former HPE coworker and friend last week. He said that he and a couple others recently jumped off the crazy train called HPE. He told me that there is no future for many at HPE so things must be getting desperate there. The board should... — read more 

I know of storage in ALF, any others as well?

Has anybody driven past the new HPE building in Spring, TX? It looks like the building is almost finished and there is an impressive piece of art out front that looks vaguely similar to a giant 3-D model of a Covid-19 virus.

The last layoffs I can recall were in October. Does anybody know how are affected people doing? How many were able to find a new job by now and how many are still looking? I'd just like to know how hard is it really to land a new position these days... — read more 

What'd ya think? She was the person who was widely credited with destruction of the Symmetrix product line in the now defunct EMC.. Did she get kicked away from VMWare or she left on her own volition? I doubt it is the second..

The more people I talk to, the more I realize how few people see this as their long-term option. Nearly everybody is looking for a better opportunity, even people who are not that far from retirement. Only those who are just a couple of years away... — read more 

Has there been any info on possible January layoffs?

Wanted to know what Meg Whitman is up to? Too bad. Well, Joe Biden nominated her as the Kenyan ambassador, like that will have a large impact. I guess she'll do anything to maintain a decent salary. If she's bad at corporate leadership, she must be... — read more 

In past posts I have referred to someone I call the damage control person. It’s my theory that this person tries to shape public opinion on sites like this one as part of their job working for HPE. If this is the case, the ethical thing to do would... — read more 

I wonder if and to what extent small cuts may already be happening here that we don't know about at all because they are not that big? I'm not saying anything, it would just be interesting to know what's going on under the radar.

How far? Down to #7. Check out this post. https://cr-t.com/blog/10-of-the-most-powerful-enterprise-networking-companies-in-2020/ They used to tout that they were the alternative to Cisco and a clear #2 in enterprise networking. Not anymore as... — read more 

Unfortunately. They do not seem to have any strategy that will bring about any positive changes. Or at least I don't see it....

The situation is getting worse here month after month. I hope that in 2022 I will not be here but in another company. There seems to be nothing more we can hope for?

Anyone else a part of the workforce reduction today? Or just me?

Some colleagues who were counting on religious and medical exemption were surprised that they were not approved. Does anyone even know what religious and medical exemptions are approved?

Will they really follow through with placing people on leave dec 8th ? Only providing a 40 day heads up for those without vaccine to figure it out. There’s many reasons beyond the political lens to why someone may be hesitant or unable to vax up ... — read more 

I think it's safe to say by now it's done, any ideas on how many people total were affected?

Based on the memo, looks like we finally know where HPE stands. Don't want to lose any revenue from the Gov't so everyone (even teleworkers) must comply or will be placed on unpaid leave.

Usually, we know ahead of time. In the least, there are some rumors circulating. This time I didn't even know it happened until I read it here. Was this a really limited round and that's the reason why there was no chatter before and after it? I'd be... — read more 

Today my number came up. No regrets after 39 years of service. Would have been nice if I could have worked another 2 years but it is what it is. At least my boss told me the reason I got laid off was because of my salary and she had a number to hit... — read more 

No noise on the Dell layoff board, all happy over there

Has anyone else heard the rumor of a RIF in NA on 10/18?

Someone here interpreted e-mail in a completely different way than I did. >> However, I can’t believe they just want to know who will be vaccinated by Oct 4th to devise different working conditions and safety measures for others. I may be too... — read more

Does anyone have any optimism that it will ever get better here again? I think that almost no one believes in leadership anymore and our leaders are without any vision. There is no clear long term plan... and that says it all. This company is stuck... — read more
