No - HE did not. Not personally - he filed chapter 11 which is a business restructuring. I do wish people would educate themselves on issues and stop parroting what the MSM feeds them. Garbage in - garbage out,.
That's been happening since 6/16/2015. It just gets more intense as Trump continues to dominate those who are pre-paid and owned.
“...THE DONALD, who was born wealthy and stayed wealthy...”
That’s incorrect. He was born wealthy, at one point his net worth dropped to less than 0, then he became vastly more wealthy than when he was born.
Yes, except who trusts the Compost to be the ones to that, unless they have an agenda to choose the GOP candidate?
“Carly started the downfall,, Whitman is finishing HP off.”
Looking at HP’s stock price now compared to five and fourteen years ago, you are correct.
But things could always change. They could get another exec who might turn it around.
“Didn’t he declare bankruptcy a few times?”
Are people allowed to make mistakes in business?
It destroys all of their myths about the democrat party being the party of women, minorities, middle class.
Carly has a hard edge to her. No doubt.
Both she and Trump would be like hiring professional mercenaries, hired guns. To paraphrase George Washington: " Like fire, they would be dangerous servants and fearful masters."
They should have merged with Larry Ellison.
Donald Trump is an entrepreneur who risks everything on projects he believes in and has lost big and won big.
Carly is an EEOC bureaucratic ladder-climber who was an HP Human Resources affirmative-action project.
“Few business articles about her mention the changes into the product line during her tenure. The changes harmed the brand.”
I was doing IT at the time. Everyone in the industry knew Compaq was a doorstop.
No they're not, she's easy pickings.
CNN had that lady Lucent employee from Trump’s rally on live yesterday giving her horror story about Carly. She was wiped out and lost a half million dollars in stock thanks to Carly.
What’s the deal with the illustrations on that article, Ben Carson looks a bit like, well, a lot of people actually: https://img.washingtonpost.com/rf/image_606w/2010-2019/WashingtonPost/2015/09/16/Interactivity/Images/GOP_debate_composite_2016b.jpg Most of the others are okay.
Personally no!
Companies he owned may have like GM.
Lighten up, Francis. I was merely asking.
Bankruptcy can be used as a negotiating tactic.
If you are a skilled negotiator.
It is used to determine how loss should be allocated between borrower and lender.
Business runs in cycles.
Which changes?? Spinning off Agilent? Destroying the "HP Way" culture? Or drastically and negatively affecting the quality of the products that HP kept??
I think the last one is the most damaging. The HP "brand" once stood for absolute top quality products. "AF" ("After Fiorina"), HP products were no longer "top of the line", but "middle of the pack" at best.
When I first got into the "PC" world, the only printers I would buy were HP (early BW inkjet, early color injet, BW laserjet). Then "AF" I had the misfortune to get an HP"all-in-one", which was a piece of absolute ****. I switched to Canon for the "all-in-one" functionality, and it is still going strong.
My perception from outside is that "PF" ("Post Fiorina"), that the quality has gotten better.
LOL, you just have to like Trump.
Agree. The Compost will ultimately endorse the Dem for Pres, without regard to who the Rep candidate is.
Cankles has had some “work” done...just not enough.
When she “hit her head” was likely when that occurred.
