Popular Post aachor Posted December 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) HP is moving its HQ to Houston Quote Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the latest tech company to shift its focus away from Silicon Valley, announcing Tuesday that it will relocate its headquarters from San Jose, California, to Houston, Texas. “HPE’s largest U.S. employment hub, Houston is an attractive market to recruit and retain future diverse talent, and is where the company is currently constructing a state-of-the-art new campus,” the company said in its fourth quarter earnings release. It’s unclear how many employees the move will affect, though the company said no layoffs will be with the move. HPE will keep the San Jose campus, and will consolidate some of its Bay Area sites there, it said. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/01/hpe-is-relocating-headquarters-to-houston-from-california.html Edited December 1, 2020 by aachor 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Very cool news! #109 on the Fortune 500! It's not really Compaq coming home. I think the remains of Compaq are largely housed in the company known as HP Inc., not Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Maybe HP Inc will follow (they are also recently moved to a new Houston campus).

I used to do animation work for HP and then when they split in to two companies we did stuff for HPE as well. This is HUGE for Houston and the tech industry. I really hope they consider a downtown campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Great news! Also, suck it, Austin! Just kidding. I like Austin (I love Houston) but the number of Californians who say "We love Austin, are you from Austin?" after I say I moved from Texas annoys me. Especially when I say 'No, Houston" and there's silence because they've heard Houston sucks or think that it does.

Their leader said: "As we look to the future, our business needs, opportunities for cost savings, and team members’ preferences about the future of work, we have made the decision to relocate HPE’s headquarters to the new campus under construction in Spring, Texas, just outside of Houston."

I think Austin's "weirdness" is contrived and predictable. I find Houston more varied and to some degree eccentric. How many metro area have three ecological zones ( the piney woods big thicket, the marshy southeast, and the prairie like western suburbs), several clusters of large downtown like areas, huge international presence both in population and with 92 consulates, the space center,the largest med center in the world, one of the largest ports in the Americas, and the largest rodeo. Try to give that a simple label. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) My theory, as a millenial who was never actually part of the "weird" Austin or Portland or whatever, is that maybe the "weird" actually referred to your standard liberal college town stuff as judged by the abrasive, chain smoking WW2 vet generation who hated the hippies? I can see how maybe when Austin was small and more dominated by the UT and the state government it probably would have been a lot more liberal and a lot more open minded than surrounding parts of Texas especially back in the day. Anyways the new HPE facility is underwhelming. I guess in reality a lot of the employees will work remotely and the HQ title just implies a few dozen big wigs will be based out of it. Like how Exxon is still technically in Irving while the Houston office is a behemoth. Edited December 2, 2020 by zaphod 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how Exxon is still technically in Irving while the Houston office is a behemoth. No. Austin's charm, even up until like 15 years ago is that it was the biggest "little town" in Texas. It still had that feel. Most of the chiefs and assistant chiefs in the govt are conservatives, so nah, there's no liberal influence there. Alot of people who work in govt are "open minded" but I mean you work for a republican governor, senate, and house so your not really spreading your "open mindedness" anywhere. They are a massive employer though, and if you want a feel for the culture, the liquor store in the capital has empty shelves on fridays, lol. Its a bit depressing. UT is whatever, their primary influence is the kids driving retail and booze sales in the city. The "weird" in Austin was created by older Texans, both vets and non-vets, who enjoyed being outside/farming/ranching while still smoking some weed and drinking too much. Think more Willie Nelson, less douchy new england style ultra-liberal student. Add me to the category of hoping that the City jumps on this and gives HPE whatever they want to create some kind of presence near Rice's development or downtown. To let HPE move here and then just bury itself into Spring would be kind of an L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they give some thought into establishing a significant presence ITL, though. HPE Labs at the ion or something. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Didn't mean to turn this into an Austin conversation. Sorry. Last word on that, Austin is great because of it's location to some of the best geography in Texas. Highland lakes, natural springs, Hill Country, even the blossoming wine industry. Swimming at Barton is something Houston will never have. As for HPE, they're moving from San Jose. San Jose is one giant suburb for the most part. It is no San Franc or Oakland. So it isn't surprising they'd be attracted to similar here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, and the reality is that most (almost all) of the headquarters relocations to places such as North Texas that some HAIFers often envy, are also to suburban locations. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
