According to HP’s statement, the plan should save as much as $1.4 billion in annual by the end of the fiscal year 2025.

While Cisco Systems Inc. last week detailed a plan to decrease an unspecified number of positions and liquidate operations, hard disc manufacturer Seagate Technology Holdings Plc. announced it would eliminate roughly 3,000 jobs.
