Layoffs, the answer to every problem.
HPE wants to be relevant again. I suppose they could go back to making products that people want to buy at prices they want to pay (hint -- they can't), or... they could fire staff. Stockholders and The Street love that, because it shows "commitment" or some such nonsense. And, despite the fact that every talentless hack of a struggling CEO starts shedding staff to prop up shaky numbers, some investment dolts still think that laying people off shows a CEO who is unafraid to "make the tough decisions."
HP was once a great company. Now it isn't even a shadow of its former self. Maybe Meg can give a valedictory address as cool as Roy Blatty's...
