ex-EDS staff have had enough of HPs treatment. Unless Mark Hurd starts treating us with respect and honours 'pay for performance' I forecast that 2010 will be blighted by strikes.

RE: 'It wont last'

Don't hold your breath for any extra payouts we were promised a 5% end of year bonus to subsidise the deficit in our pensions when we were tupee'd across. We had 0.5% and were told to lump it.

for the February FPR there will be no base pay increases, as per Hurd's mail.

-borged HP Services serf

.. should now also come with the 'You may not get out what you pay in' warning as per the usual 'over 50's plan' adverts.

No base pay increases, but some bonus's... I wonder how much MH will be getting this year in total.. 10, 20 , 30 mill ?
