Democratic activist who used it to post a message about how many people HP had allegedly laid off while Fiorina was the company’s chief executive.

There is nothing "alleged" about the THOUSANDS of people she caused to be laid off by her poor decisions as CEO of HP.

THOUSANDS of people did in fact lose their jobs. The acquisition of Compaq by HP was a disaster, and Fiorina's decision to turn HP into a consumer products company, shifting away from their lucrative Unix Server and Services business along with their medical devices business (just two examples among many) caused wars in HP's board room.

She seriously F'ed up that company.

I had the "opportunity" to meet her and have my picture taken with her in 2002 at an HP Award Ceremony called the Bravo Awards here in Chicago.

I refused. I showed up, picked up my award and left. I wanted nothing to do with her, and I sure as hell don't want her anywhere near the White House in ANY capacity.

At least she was held accountable in the private sector though.

Let’s not overlook the possibility of also reminding others here of Carly’s attack on fellow Republican Tom Campbell in 2010, in the infamous “demon sheep” ad.

Yes, a lot of people want to conveniently forget that very dark, and incompetent, period in her history.

Sorry, but giant companies like that are completely over-staffed. You have employees who just sit around playing with the internet all day waiting for something to do. The employees get lazy under layers of tedious bureaucracy and say they need help, then the ones who actually want something to do are left with nothing because there are so many people around. Managers hire more and more people because they’re a cushion against getting fired themselves. The more people you have, the more important you are perceived as being. Cripes, I hate working at behemoths. I only work for them in bad times when they make up the layoffs with temps. They are all the same.
