HP Forces Engineers To Work At Intel
from the it's-just-like-HP,-but-meaner dept
Imagine working at HP where they have this fun thing called the "HP Way" which they say means that everyone absolutely loves working at HP, and you might even get to drive a Ford Taurus (ever looked in an HP parking lot?). Then, take Intel, where they encourage something called "constructive confrontation" which really means "everyone gets to yell and vent at anyone they want". You might realize the cultures are slightly different. So, it's not much of a surprise that some HP engineers were a bit pissed off to discover that they've been forced to go work for Intel. HP transferred about 100 engineers from their server-chipset group to Intel last week. The engineers were told they weren't allowed to look for other jobs at HP and had to report to Intel (at the mandatory 8am start time, I'm sure) or else.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
