Unite: HP 'addicted to culture of job cuts' as axe raised again

Re: Lifes Good

I too started with DEC and went through the Compaq and HP "mergers" (we know they were takeovers!) and then was made redundant in 2009 when my job went to Bulgaria or Bangalore. I didn't want to go. It was obvious that the long-term slash-the-staff culture would just continue and it will be there till HP becomes redundant itself.

Moved myself into the contracting world and now work 8 months a year and take home the same money I used to get from HP. They did me a favour when they tossed me out the door.
