In 2002, Carly was America’s leading CEO for firing workers. As CEO of HP, she fired 33,000 workers according to the San Jose Mercury. She shipped American jobs to both India and China according to the Center for Industrial Competitiveness. Fiorina cut workers salaries by $130 million while collecting $90 million for herself according to the book, “Greed and Good.” While other CEO’s during the dot.com crisis took pay cuts, Carly Fiorina took a 231% raise according to Executive Excess of 2003.

So what? It was ship jobs overseas like Apple and MS or lose the company. As for her raises, the board gave them to her and it is the company’s business not ours. I wish they could have afforded to pay her more.

Pray America wakes

All true.
My only reference to the layoffs was that she seems qualified to do the same in D. C.
