惠普計劃將再次裁員

小編導語：惠普全名為惠利特-普克德公司，是一家總部設在美國加利福尼亞州帕羅奧多的跨國科技公司。其公司研發(fā)的產(chǎn)品類型多樣，涉及多個領域，但現(xiàn)今其也面臨一些困境，接下來和小編一起來看一下吧！

On the brink of a historic break-up, Hewlett-Packarddisclosed on Tuesday that it is planning to slash another25,000-30,000 jobs to put its new enterprise business on stronger footing as a stand-alone company.

在一次歷史性的拆分即將到來之際，惠普(HP)周二披露稱，計劃再裁員2.5萬至3萬人，以使拆分出的企業(yè)業(yè)務作為一家獨立的公司能有個更強健的基礎。

The swingeing cuts come on top of 54,000 jobs that have already gone over the past three yearsas chief executive Meg Whitman has fought to turn around one of Silicon Valley's iconic companies.Earlier this year she threw in the towel on holding HP together in its current form and instead announced plans to carve it into two.

這次大裁員之前，惠普已在過去3年里裁員5.4萬人?；萜帐紫瘓?zhí)行官梅格惠特曼(Meg Whitman)做出了很大的努力，希望扭轉這家硅谷標志性企業(yè)的命運。今年早些時候，她放棄了確保惠普現(xiàn)有企業(yè)架構的努力，宣布打算將公司一分為二。

The latest round of cuts will take place in HP's IT services business as the company takes more jobs off-shore to cut costs, according to Tim Stonesifer, chief financial officer of HP Enterprise, one oftwo companies that will emerge from the break-up.

蒂姆斯通西弗(Tim Stonesifer)表示，最新一輪裁員將針對惠普的IT服務業(yè)務，公司為了削減成本，會把更多崗位轉移到海外去。惠普拆分成的兩家公司后，斯通西弗將出任其中一家公司HP Enterprise的首席財務官。

The latest overhaul, which will include cash charges of $1.2bn, comes despite an earlier assurance from Ms Whitman that HP would not have to undertake any more restructurings.

盡管惠特曼早先曾保證惠普無需再進行更多結構調(diào)整，但該公司還是推出了這一最新的調(diào)整計劃。這次調(diào)整將耗費12億美元現(xiàn)金。

"This has been a bit of a moving target," Ms Whitman said at an analyst meeting on Tuesday. "It hasbeen a bumpy road, no doubt about it… We are conscious there have been a number of restructuring plans for this business."

“目標發(fā)生了些許改變，”惠特曼在周二的分析師會議上表示，“這是一條顛簸之路，這一點毫無疑問……我們意識到，針對這一業(yè)務存在不少結構調(diào)整計劃。”

Ms Whitman added: "I always said we would do what is right for this company." The IT services market has continued to change and put more pressure on HP to reorganise its operations, for instance by increasing the proportion of its services workforce in lower-cost, off-shore centres to 60 percent, she said.

惠特曼接著說：“我一直說，我們將采取對公司而言正確的措施。”她表示，IT服務市場一直在變化，這對惠普構成了更大的業(yè)務重組壓力，比如把成本更低的離岸中心的服務員工比例提高到60%。

Ms Whitman, who will become CEO of HP Enterprise after the split, also offered a downbeat view ofthe company's growth prospects in the next few years. While the enterprise technology market is expected to grow at 4-5 per cent a year, the HP operation is expected to grow at a slower rate,roughly in line with global GDP, reflecting difficulties in markets including China, Russia and Brazil, shesaid.

惠特曼將出任拆分出來的HP Enterprise的首席執(zhí)行官。她還對公司未來幾年的增長前景表示了悲觀。她表示，盡管企業(yè)技術市場的預期年增長率為4%至5%，但惠普業(yè)務的增速預計會低一些，大致等于全球GDP增速，這反映出了中國、俄羅斯和巴西等市場的困境。
