Ex-staffer: 'I’d rather go to Iraq than work for Carly Fiorina'
Fortune ^ | 5/21/15 | Scott Olster

Ex-staffers have harsh words for Republican presidential candidate.

Carly Fiorina apparently left a trail of unpaid, unhappy campaign staffers after her unsuccessful 2010 U.S. Senate bid. According to Reuters, the former HP CEO and 2016 Republican presidential hopeful waited more than four years to give her campaign staff the compensation they were promised.

“Federal campaign filings show that, until a few months before Fiorina announced her presidential bid on May 4, she still owed staffers, consultants, strategists, legal experts and vendors nearly half a million dollars,” Reuters reported.

Twelve ex-Fiorina campaign workers told Reuters that, if given the chance to work with Fiorina again, they’d rather not. One anonymous senior staffer reportedly said they’d prefer to be sent to Iraq. Ouch.

Not surprised. I was the first one here to post that she reminded me of every bad female boss I ever had - and I had a lot of them.

To be fair, the two best bosses I ever had were females - but they are few and far between. And unless times have changed and I acknowledge that times have changed, they are still silly and excitable.

Not to worry. You have inside info. I am sure Trump, Cruz, or Carson could use your expertise. Noting to lose your head over, so to speak...

She stiffed a lot of people on her 2010 Campaign staff.

Why can't the GOPe be able to research their candidates

She’s the designated loser to run against Hillary. The major donors don’t care which one wins. They just have to make sure someone who wants amnesty, open borders, corporate welfare, bailouts and Wall Street tax breaks gets in. That makes Carly an extremely attractive candidate. Even if she by some accident wins, she will give them every policy they want just as Hillary would.

My wife's best friend worked as a regional VP for HP and was
stunned by this persons treatment of her staff which was rumored to be comparable to prison term. She called Carly the serpent head and jump ship to Microsoft .
Almost the entire HP Board campaigned against Carly in the CA Gop Senate race.
The HP founding family members openly warned people and held fund raisers for her opponents .

This proven loser is toxic .

She sounds like the Republican version of Sheila Jackson Lee. A real terror to work for.

It was posted on another thread that she paid off those who were stiffed for 3-4 years, before her run for president.

Is it not a given that working for a challenger, especially a fairly heavy underdog like Fiorina was in the Calif. Senate race, is a high risk venture?

That’s the impression I got anyway. I helped out a few campaigns in college. I never got above free labor though.

Maybe so, but I think Carly knows the difference the moon and Mars.

My old hefty hag ex-boss at USC would have fit right in and been a loyal warden.
