Not to mention that more critical people will leave once they sniff layoffs coming.
- VLM 11y agoThis is not exactly HPs first layoff. Its been a dying company for quite some time. There is no hope of a turnaround and has not been for some time. Everyone in the Venn diagram of willing to jump ship and able to jump ship, has already jumped. All you've got left is people unwilling to jump, unable to jump, or both. Those unwilling will continue to be unwilling for whatever reasons, if the last layoff round didn't snap them out, then this will also fail. Those unable to jump will continue to be unable.
