HPAA members were asked: "What do you wish you had known before you left?"

The responses have been organized into several articles:

- Heads Up - Surprises and Hazards

- Job and Career Issues

- Benefits Issues

- Financial Issues

- Looking at the Big Picture

Not officially endorsed or supported.

Also use our ASAP Checklist. Hard-won member advice on what to do before losing access to company systems -- and in the following few weeks. Supplements the official checklists. (Public website. No password required.)

These issues are discussed on the HPAA's Benefits and Finance forums -- another reason why you need to join the HPAA once you are sure you know you are leaving or being laid off.  Join the HP/HPE Alumni Association: If formerly a regular, direct U.S. employee of HP or HPE -- or in the process of leaving. Free, thanks to supporting members.
