But but..I am told there is a shortage of STEM workers and we need to imports millions from overseas.
This is the kind of story which, when heavily circulated by the mainstream press, is gonna get a Fake White Indian elected as your next POTUS.
Think of from top managment’s point of view. Nobody should have to get by with just 3 vacation homes.
One can’t help but wonder if a little ways down the road HP will be hiring foreign STEM workers to meet the shortage. Or ship those jobs overseas if there’s too much scrutiny.
This is because HP is getting out of the hardware business as much as possible and becoming more a computer services company. In effect, that’s what IBM has become—one of the world’s largest computer services companies, using IBM mainframe hardware to running the latest version of Red Hat Linux server editions to do large scale computations, large scale server storage and “cloud computing.” Indeed, many corporate web sites are hosted with the help of IBM.
HP has a HUGE presence in India.
Won’t surprise me
HP is an old, mature tech company. It looks like it might go the way of Kodak..remember them?
How many of those 58,000 in 2015 will be U.S. workers?
Personally, I think it’s all about the damned ink cartridges.
I’m about tired enough of the abuse of STEM workers in this country to leave, taking as much cash and precious metals with me as I can, and leaving behind as much student loan debt etc as possible.
I could go to a 3rd world country, or the Middle East (some place not infested by feminists or globalists) and start my life from scratch from a better starting position than where I am now.
Don't they make bears for Alaska?
You should read up on the horrific competition STEM students and eventual worker candidates have to undergo in countries like India.
If the shares drop by 7%, the shareholders are not richer.
Yep, HP bought out EDS a few years ago.
Flash is spinning in his grave.....
Yeah. I head that a lot in the years between my last engineering job and my current one.
In the unlikely event the consultants need to actually return something of value, they outsource it to some programming sweat shop that produces a barely functional product.
I have seen this played out too many times to count. It is the normal course of a company. They start off innovative and creating useful products and wind up as a purely political entity serving no real purpose.
Yeah, along with Polaroid.
