Hewlett-Packard: 2000 additional layoffs
For the employees of the ailing computer maker Hewlett-Packard and it gets worse than you think: should instead originally announced 27,000 jobs now 29,000 jobs will disappear until autumn 2014. Which the Group announced in its released Monday by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission official report for the fiscal third quarter. Thus, the estimated cost for the entire remodeling company rise from 3.5 to 3.7 billion dollars.
HP suffers generally sluggish computer sales due to the global economic uncertainty and the rising popularity of tablet computers and smartphones. There are also in-house errors. In the past fiscal third quarter of the industry leader wrote a net loss of $ 8.9 billion. Just the reorganization reduced revenue by $ 1.7 billion making; at the announcement of financial results in late August but HP had spoken of 27,000 job cuts.
More than 4,000 people have already gone to earlier information, by October it will be 11,500. Many workers had accepted the offer of early retirement. Also in Germany, the employees are affected; an exact number had not been called HP.
Quarrels and confusing decisions in management had gambled a lot of confidence among customers. The outdated SAP CEO Léo Apotheker brief wanted to separate from the PC market and instead focus on software. The stock broke at the time, had to go pharmacist. Meg Whitman took over less than a year before the top job.
HP stands to data from market research firm Gartner, only just at the top of the PC manufacturers. China's Lenovo is promoted to the Americans at the numbers on the heels. In the second calendar quarter of HP was therefore a market share of 14.9 percent (down from 16.9 percent), Lenovo improved to 14.7 percent (12.7 percent). In Germany, the U.S. company lost the leadership position, according to Gartner, and already has fallen to third place behind Acer and Lenovo.
