HPE is planning to remove 220 more jobs in the UK as part of its continuing culling of staff.
In a memo sent to staff, the rather long titled HPE UK and MEMA Vice President of Infrastructure Technology Outsourcing (ITO) Maurice Mattholie says it is all part of its Workforce Management Programme which is the latest euphemism for rampant stuff cuts.
However, the number of staff for the chop this quarter is not as bad as the last quarter when 500 HPE staff were asked to clean out their desks and exit the building with their belongings in a photocopy box.
Mattholie said HPE was talking to the UK Works Council and Trade Union representatives about the cuts.
“It is important to point out that we are fully committed to continuing to use redeployment and voluntary exits to manage WFM in the UK and Ireland…. It is expected that up to 220 positions within UK&I ITO will be impacted through WFM in Q4.
“Whilst I appreciate that this announcement may cause concern I am committed to providing regular updates to ensure that everyone is kept informed.
