On the basis of why would I want to provide succour and profits to a company that has f*ck*d its employees big time in the last few years, I and the vast majority of former HP employees I know will not buy HP products ever again. And, of course, neither will our family members and many of our friends . . . .
Futile protest? I don't think so, not when former employees number in their many tens of thousands!!!
Maybe HP will recover in time, but they have pissed off so many clients and existing staff, that it's going to be a very long struggle. And many of the best people have already left and gone elsewhere, making it even harder.
And this acquisition trail that sees them buying in companies, and their profits, has got to stop - it has only served to mask a lack of profitability for the rump HP business, which is still substantially focused on commodities such as printers, PCs, servers and consumer items.
