I guess the reason I am working on my THIRD million (I bypassed the first 2) is because I didn’t hire enough females and minorities in key positions.

If it is/was a fact that a female or minority was making anywhere from .20-.30 on the dollar less than a White Male I really did blow it.

Should have hired the women and minorities and just shoved the .30 on the dollar in my pocket.

Oh well, live and learn..../sarc

if you don’t have a room full of “diversity” when making an important decision, you will not get the decision right

Shut up Carly.
Go make me a sandwich.

Easy.

Watch what she does, not what she says.

She says all of the right things.
But does mostly the wrong things.

It’s also the reason Trump is popular right now.
Trump, like America, was once great, then took a mighty fall.
Trump has come back from hard times and has become a success again.

Who better to lead America back to greatness?
Trump?
Maybe.
But is he POTUS material?
Maybe not.

“Carly set HP on a new course by buying Compact/CompuServe thereby setting them up for long term success that they enjoy now.”

Neither purchase is alive today or producing anything of value. Terrible decision.

People who benefitted from unwritten “diversity” quotas tend to support them.

“Taking out the possible competition is BAD ..??”

Really? Calling either dead company, CompuServe or Compaq, “competition” is laughable. It was wasted money spent. People cringed when she made the deal.

Overall it didn’t seem to hurt them.....Carly wanted HP to be #1...........

At first this company was started in garage of Palo Alto by Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett with an initial investment of $538 which is now world’s one of largest IT companies.

Because most IT professionals are alcoholics or at least imbibe heavily on the weekends. My problem was that I was drinking heavily everyday. I defray my stress now with exercise.

Ironic that someone professing sobriety advises others to drink.

Ironic? Hardly. I didn’t advise anyone that they should drink. In my original post, I said that I find that drinking heavily and burying myself in my work helps with work stress. I advised no one to imbibe.

And did you miss the part where I said I was 7 WEEKS sober? It’s not like I’ve been on the wagon for 20 years, bub.
