Her Record at HP is that HP is still in Business.

She made the tough calls when the Bubble Burst in the Tech Business. She was lambasted, but the idea that she was not capable in her role as CEO is ridiculous.

Would she be as vilified at the time if she were a Man, perhaps, but I have my doubts.

Her mistake may have been the Compaq Merger, but like anything else, hindsight is 20 /20. That was where the major Layoffs came from, but if it didn’t happen, Compaq was toast and there would have been even more Jobs lost.
HP could have been a victim as well, then there would be no Jobs at all.

Before the flamers check in, I’m a Cruz guy, but when dealing with the die hard Hillary fanatics, you have to make the Playing Field Level, Uterus versus Uterus.

Yep. Good thing they fired her or HP would be defunct now.

Buying Compaq was stupid. She has no technical qualifications to be evaluating projects at a place like HP.

Pathetic slur. Meg Whitman was more qualified as a technology executive.

She was paid for foresight and failed. Deal with it.

She'll do fine keeping the barbs flying at the Hildabeast. That doesn't make her Presidential material, particularly because she's never won an election.

As I understand it, she doubled their revenue and positioned them at near the top of the computer world. I’ve owned a few HPs myself.

She says that her firing from HP was not about her success in the company but rather about a political struggle on the board. That makes sense to me, because she did improve every revenue stat in the entire company.
