Bottom Line Trumps Ideology The high-tech world has been pining for a "New Paradigm," and the HP-Compaq merger is set to provide one. Unfortunately, it is a new approach to layoffs - they'll be passing out pink slips to entire design teams rather than redistributing the talent. Using a method dubbed "adopt and go," the staffs of operations for the combined company's best products - as identified by a 900-person transition team - could increase 10% to 20%, while most employees would be laid off at product groups that are not on team's list (an estimated 15,000 people). Ouch. So at HP, your future will depend not so much on your individual performance, but to which team you belong. This doesn't quite square with HP's proclaimed policy of inclusiveness and diversity. When it comes down to the bottom line, even the most liberal of companies become free-market practitioners. |

About RF Cafe
Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Web BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
