like basically 50k of the layoffs were already announced, 36k are complete and from what i've read the split will involve another 5k likely of staff that does work across the two major groups like in sales and such

yeah i said decent not good or booming and the current tech job market is better than say looking for work after your auto plant was shuttered in 2008 (speaking of which, i see tesla now has 4000 people employed at the old nummi plant in fremont, just a little short of the 4500 people that were working there before the economic meltdown)

Gotta love the mismanagement where HP can fire over 50,000 employees, spin off into two companies, and then boast about how it will let them acquire more companies. Source: http://www.crn.com/news/data-center/300074299/crn-exclusive-whitman-says-hp-split-frees-up-enterprise-company-to-eye-acquisitions.htm I'm somewhat scared they'll acquire my company

i got a hp printer about a month ago someone left a hp 1320n on the side of the road in the blazing sun, i took it back and plugged it into the network and it prints great, it can even do duplex printing and it turns out the previous owner upgraded the ram in the printer to a whopping 16+128MB it was also quite fitting that this replaced the hp photosmart p1000 printer

FMguru posted:nah they took a brand that had impeccable nerd cred from the 1980s and spent that cred down to push janky cheapjack inkjet printers. they made a lot of money from people buying hp crap for their home and small office under the assumption that hey hp is good quality right i mean, this is precisely what i am talking about; sure they lost cred sold bad inkjet printers, but they made a ton of money off of it, and money is worth more money than cred. also sure they aren't in anything of the fotm modern now, but they are making a lot of money where they are (sort of a tech sickness to always imagine that new is replacing old, like predicting that a company making fridges is bound to go out of business when it missed the invention of the microwave). bringing in ibm is pretty apt as well, since ibm is ridiculously successful having done one of these transformations, and there is little reason to think that hp can't do at least ok in same
