HP To Cut Back On Telecommuting

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday June 4, 2006 @01:29AM from the my-favorite-kind-of-commuting dept.

Makarand writes "Hewlett-Packard, the company that began making flexible work arrangements for its employees starting in 1967, is cutting back on telecommuting arrangements for its IT employees. By August, almost all of HP's IT employees will have to work in one of 25 designated offices during most of the week. Those who don't wish to make this change will be out of work without severance pay. While other companies nationwide are pushing more employees to work from home to cut office costs, HP believes bringing its information-technology employees together in the office will make them swifter and smarter and allow them to be more effective."

HP have the best Array controllers that I've worked with. Could you recommend an array controller that allows you to Migrate RAID types, expand arrays and extend Logical disks, from IBM or DELL? No? Shame, seems like I'm stuck recommending HP gear then...
