HP Slashing An Extra 30,000 Jobs As It Completes Transformation

The Hewlett-Packard Company is no stranger to job cuts: During the Carly Fiorina era in the early aughts, the company’s workforce was slashed by 30,000.

Carly is a powerful leader. She can cut even more jobs remotely at a company that fired her. CARL-E, CARL-E, CARL-E!

Whats this the 4th article you’ve posted about her this morning. One more and you might have to register as a PAC.

Fiorina’s fault.

[stubernx98]

Great, maybe she would do the same thing with Government!!!!!

I buy most of my computers from HP. All their customer service reps are Indian. They also have disconnects between their databases. One says I have an extended warranty, the other does not.

Back in 2007, I switched from Dell to HP because of abysmal customer service (on Dell’s part). May be time to switch back.

It's apparently get Carly day at FR. I just logged in and there are multiple posts on the same story, Fiorina once worked at HP and laid off employees.

I'll bet most of today's FR Fiorina posters never have been in a position to tell someone their job went away, much less had to make the decision to do layoffs.

Bush’s fault...........................

I don’t like her but cmon, argue on the issues. HP is still around and is still a good company. She couldn’t have done that badly.

[ken in texas]

Congratulations. You finally posted an article that’s not old news.

[UCANSEE2]

. HP is still around and is still a good company. She couldn’t have done that badly.

Another way of looking at it... HP was strong enough to have survived her incompetence and backstabbing.

They even threw money at her to get her to leave.

[EagleUSA]

At that time, HP stated they had almost 400,000 jobs going WORLDWIDE. Just for perspective.

For the record, not seeing the % reduction, I looked it up:

A 10% cut, 30,000 of 302,000

[driftdiver]

Kinda ironic that the Trumpbots make excuses for how many of his companies have gone bankrupt but criticize her.

[pfflier]

None of the information with the posts is new. However, I question the coincidence of the shotgun spray of this old news on the day of the republican debates.

Shocking even more is that the ny slimes is behind this. They only do this to people they fear politically.

[driftdiver]

IMO her and Trump are much the same. Both north east liberals who call themselves Republicans but certainly aren’t conservative.

I know a guy in Local 2222 who says that DEC would still be in business if they had a Union. Oh, great. Just what HP needs. A Warehouse full of unsold VAX’s. Just like Ken Olsen wanted and Carly was against.

[driftdiver]

DEC was run by engineers who allowed their technology to be stolen by Intel. They had faster chips than Intel.
