I guess she needed a job. At least someone can find one in this economy.

just before it gets scuttled, eh? Plenty of stock in there for, surely. Hope she got that sell order executed before the selloff today.

She couldn't possibly do any worse then Fiorina. Could she?

Yeah, could be. I wonder if the good citizens of Cali are having buyers remorse yet - thinking about what could have been....

HP is clueless. Glad I don’t have stock in that turd.
Meg will finish the job Carly started.

At least Meg has proven business success, where as Carly was hired from a failed company.

Meg will finish the job Carly started. GMTA - exactly my thought on reading the headline. Guess somebody has to be there to grab the last golden parachute...

Geez. I didn’t even add up the Fiorina/Whitman connection until you mentioned. Two CA RINO losers from ‘10. Very inbred.
I just wonder why HP couldn’t find anyone else to run the place. It is a real mess.

I wonder if her first executive order will be to change the window dressings in the fleet of executive jets; or to change the decor of the Corporate office ....

Whitman’s ‘success’ is on paper only. She almost wrecked eBay, they’re still trying to recover from her.

Blame the Board of Directors. They’re completely dysfunctional...
Glad I got out of that place and cashed out of my options before they went over the cliff.

I'm in charge of technical purchases, and HP gets NONE of our business. I do have a 30 year old HP spectrum analyzer that is still kicking butt, but that was when HP did great test equipment.
I wouldn't buy a network cable from them today.
Or Compaq, for that matter.
Be the best or go home.
