HP has informed its employees that their current holiday season is extended by one-week in order to cut costs, but at the same time the company is saying that the majority of employees will be paid during the time off. An HP Spokeswoman said that “Shutting down during a period when many employees traditionally take vacation helps HP achieve operational savings and allows employees to enjoy more time with their families.”
HP’s rival Dell has already asked its employees to take five days of extra unpaid vacations during the winter, in order to cut costs.
