HP는 이번년에 두 회사로 분할(split)계획이 있지요. Split하기전에 가장 중요한 것은 몸집을 줄이는 것인데 HP가 이미 발표한 55,000에다가 추가고 33,300명을 layoff한다는 기사가 있었습니다. 뭔 사람을 이렇게 많이 짜르나 하고 봤더니 현재 30만명이 넘는 임직원을 거느리고 있는 삼성전자보다 더 큰덩치 괴물이었네요. 어쨋거나 이렇게 큰 괴물이 30%정도 인원을 정리하게 될것 같네요.

20세기후반에 IT버블을 만들고 그 후에도 계속 승승장구하던 기업들이 나가떨어지는 것을 보면서 세상이 많이 변했구나 생각이 듭니다.

HP to cut up to 33,300 jobs over next three years

REUTERS - Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N), which plans to split into two listed companies this year, said it expected to cut about 33,300 jobs over three years as the tech pioneer adjusts to falling demand.

The latest cuts, on top of 55,000 layoffs previously announced under Chief Executive Meg Whitman, will mostly be in HP's faster-growing corporate hardware and services operations, to be spun off as Hewlett Packard Enterprise, or HPE, on Nov. 1.

The latest cuts indicate a reduction of the company's total workforce by at least 10 percent, based on its most recent number of more than 300,000 employees as of Oct. 31, 2014, and reflecting the previously announced reduction of 55,000.

Up to 30,000 of the layoffs will be in the enterprise business and up to 3,300 in HP Inc, the company that will continue to make personal computers and printers, HP said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday.

The restructuring will result in pretax charges of about $2.7 billion at HPE and $300 million at HP Inc, which has been hit hard by a relentless decline in sales of PCs.

The charges will be taken between the current quarter and the end of fiscal 2018, ending Oct. 31.
