Description

Hewlett Packard has announced plans to cut 25-30,000 jobs from its HP Enterprise arm. This follows on from a further 55,000 jobs cut since the current CEO, Meg Whitman, took over in 2012. The US based company has not yet announced where these job cuts will fall. The plan involves increasing the proportion of workers in "low-cost locations" from 42% to 60% by 2018.
