HPE Layoffs
There is so much news of layoffs in many huge companies. I am feeling concerned about my future here at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). I joined recently only, so I am at high risk of getting laid off. Can someone please tell me the policy for layoffs in HPE? Would I get a severance if I get affected by RIF? Should I keep looking for jobs, or am I just getting unnecessarily paranoid? Please guide me on how to deal with this situation.
