Hewlett-Packard will cut the pay of its employees globally, according to an email sent to staff by chief executive Mark Hurd this morning.
Hewlett-Packard's move to chop about 24,600 jobs worldwide following its US$13.9 billion EDS buy might not have much impact on the merged group's operation in Australia, according to Australian Taxation Office CIO Bill Gibson.
Hewlett-Packard and EDS expected to cut about 7.5 per cent, [approximately 450 workers], out of their combined Australian workforce over the next three years, a spokesperson for EDS' local division said today.
Hewlett-Packard has unveiled plans to cut more jobs globally over the next six months, including 1,200 more in its high-end computing business and an unspecified number more in its services business.
EDS employees in Australia and New Zealand have received an email from local EDS chieftain David Caspari which explains what the planned global pay cuts will mean for them.
Hewlett-Packard's contemptuous termination of the 47-year-old EDS brand in a five-paragraph statement filled with marketing hogwash today is a colossal mistake and one the company will live to regret.

The leaders of Australia's ICT industry are currently in a state of panic over the debatable prospect of an economic downturn in the sector and are going too far with cutting jobs.
Now that Carly Fiorina has been ousted, Hewlett-Packard says it needs a new captain, not a new course, but outsiders say the company needs to change its tack.
Hewlett-Packard has agreed to acquire AppIQ, a provider of storage management technologies, for an undisclosed amount, the companies said last week.
HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.
At a price of AU$649, the 2309m is a decent buy. While it performs well, the blacks aren't as deep as we'd like, and we'd be more tempted to find something with a matte screen to cut down on reflections.

The HP Compaq dc7900 is a solid business offering in the premium desktop space, but the competition is a small step ahead.
The desktop is dead, long live the thin client desktop. Following the trend of migrating applications into the datacentre, thin clients have become increasingly popular. We found HP's first mobile thin client to be a reliable system at a reasonable price.
