Honestly, I don't care if you believe me or not. I worked for EDS from 1998 until 2007 at their SMC, formerly IPC in Charlotte, NC.

I left them prior to being laid off but all but one of my team members was laid off due to outsourcing or their jobs were altogether eliminated. Since I worked there so long I am still in contact with many people there and have been told of the further layoffs and paycuts.

All that being said, the 9000 layoffs does not surprise me one bit. EDS was a sweatshop that didn't think twice about laying people off while giving their CEO's 55 million dollar going away presents. HP just further helped morale with the paycuts.]]>Jun 1st 2010 4:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/Jun 1st 2010 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/Jun 1st 2010 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/HP- W 9000]]>Jun 1st 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/Jun 1st 2010 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/Jun 1st 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/hp-cutting-9-000-jobs-during-billion-dollar-enterprise-services/

Nov. 01, 2005 Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) said Wednesday that it is laying off employees in its Colorado Springs, Colo., direct-marketing call center as part of a broader workforce reduction.
An HP spokeswoman confirmed reports from channel sources that the Palo Alto, Calif.-based IT giant plans to restructure its call center operations. She said there would be layoffs in HP’s call center but declined to specify the number of employees involved.
HP also aims to consolidate and align the call center with its Technology Solutions Group (TSG), Imaging and Printing Group (IPG) and Personal Systems Group (PSG) business units, she added.
The spokeswoman provided no further details on the realignment. However, she said the layoffs are part of the 14,500 jobs that HP aims to eliminate under a plan announced in July.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- For years, Hewlett-Packard was going nowhere fast on Wall Street.

Though HP dominated the printing market, briefly held the title of No. 1 personal computer maker and expanded its services division, its stock price languished because of lackluster margins and its messy 2002 acquisition of Compaq Computer.

Enter turnaround prince Mark Hurd, who took over from Carly Fiorina, the maligned architect of the Compaq deal, in April 2005.

Hurd, who had a reputation as a master of cost cutting from his days as CEO of ATM maker NCR (Charts), quickly went to work to slash expenses at HP. Shortly after he was hired, the company announced it would lay off 14,500 workers - or 10 percent of HP's workforce - in order to boost profits.

HP Slashes Pay For Entire Workforce
By Damon Poeter, CRN
5:50 PM EST Thu. Feb. 19, 2009 Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) is cutting the base pay for all its employees in the aftermath of a disappointing first-quarter performance coupled with a belief that there's no light at the end of the tunnel through the end of 2009.
HP CEO Mark Hurd spelled out the details in an e-mail to employees:

* Hurd takes a 20 percent pay cut to his base pay.

* HP executive council members take a 15 percent cut to their base salaries.

* Other executives take a 10 percent cut.

* Exempt employees take a 5 percent cut.

* Non-exempt staff take a 2.5 percent cut.

Hurd's 2008 base salary was $1.45 million, according to SEC filings. His total compensation, including bonuses, stock awards, options and other forms of compensation, was $42.5 million for the year. Four HP executive vice presidents listed in the filing made $20 million or more in total compensation on base salaries ranging from $690,000 to $820,000.

And now this? Great track record HP!
