Hewlett-Packard Inc. said late Tuesday that it will cut employees from a company it is forming to focus on printers and personal computers, part of a growing tally of workforce reductions for the tech giant. While laying out plans for its impending corporate split, H-P executives revealed that they plan to lay off 3,300 workers within the next three years from HP Inc. That is in addition to up to 30,000 workers — 10% of H-P’s total — that the company expects to lose from the other company it is forming, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, as well as about 55,000 workers let go in a restructuring plan put into place in 2012. The announcements were part of a meeting with analysts in which H-P laid out its financial expectations for the newly formed companies after the separation occurs, currently planned for Nov. 1.
