How Carly Fiorina Screwed Her Campaign Staff—and Paid Herself First

I’m not saying this is true. But if it is true that she paid herself first and then left staff, vendors and other creditors holding an empty envelope, it is a reprehensible and dishonorable act in my opinion.

I know this is going to make me sound like a DUmmy Leftist, but I believe pretty much ALL CEO's would do this. I personally worked for three companies that filed Chapter 11. Our vendors got absolutely SCROOOOOD. Our employees, aside from salary and vacation benefits that were protected by the court, got SCROOOOD (I myself lost a huge bonus one year, which I had busted my tail to earn). Our landlords who held long-term leases on our buildings got SCROOOOOD. Despite this senior management still always got their golden parachutes. SOP for business in our age. And another bit of proof for my theory that MBA's are destroying the planet.

Yes, I understand completely and recognize your example is the case in too many circumstances. It still doesn’t make the act honorable, especially for an ostensible public servant out to “help us.”

Of course Carly will offer the typical Clintonian defense, “Everybody does it.”

Speaking of how Snarly ran HP....

Snarly and hubby Frank Fiorina met and began seeing each other while both were working at ATT. Frank had two daughters, oldest one (Lori, who died from an overdose, at the age of 35) was 10 when they met and 14 when they married.

Frank quit his job, while Snarly was heading HP, to become Snarly’s bodyguard. When he applied for his CW permit, he stated the reason he needed the permit was because CEO’s are targets.

Mr Character Fiorina has this to say, about their first date...

....he told his not-yet-30-year-old dinner companion that one day she would run AT&T, the company where he was at that point a rung ahead of her on the corporate ladder. “It was a good line; she loved it,” he says. He doesn’t recall much else about the evening. “I just remember making out in the car.”

These folks won’t get my vote to occupy our White House.

Of course Carly will offer the typical Clintonian defense, “Everybody does it.”

And based on my experience, she'd be right.

What I understand from people who have worked campaigns, delayed pay and getting stiffed happens a lot. Seems she ultimately made good.

[Gaffer]

She ultimately “made good” because she couldn’t afford to have “unpaid prior campaign obligations” hanging out there in her now run for the Presidency. Sleazy.

[HamiltonJay]

What is surprising? While her predecessor HP Platt always flew coach, she demanded a dedicated Gulfstream for her own personal use at all times....

She’s the worst of the worst from her leadership experience, and once people wake up to that reality she’ll be gone.. A soundbite here and there with the press propping you up only works if you are a democrat.

She behaves and talks like a sociopath. No surprise to me

I Agree. She shows the traits of one.

She was fed the questions as you could tell from her book report style answer to the last question of the debate.
