HP Employees Won’t Give Carly Fiorina a Dime
Daily Beast ^ | 10/1/15 | Patricia Murphy

Out of the thousands of people she worked with, why are only two giving Fiorina a reportable amount of cash?

The employees at Hewlett-Packard, where Carly Fiorina was CEO for six years, don’t seem interested in seeing their old boss become commander-in-chief.

Of the 302,000 employees at the company, not one has given a reportable amount to help Fiorina fund her 2016 presidential campaign, according to the campaign’s most recent FEC filings, which lists all donations over $200. HP’s corporate leadership also doesn’t seem keen on the idea of Fiorina in the White House. Among the 12-member board of directors, just one, Ann Livermore, has given a donation above that threshold.

Also missing from the donor list are current CEO (and former GOP gubernatorial candidate) Meg Whitman, any members of the senior leadership team, and all but one member of the HP Board during Fiorina’s tenure there from 1999 to 2005. Tom Perkins, a venture capitalist and former board member who voted to fire Fiorina in 2005, has since had a change of heart and donated $25,000 to CARLY for America, the super PAC supporting her.

The lack of early financial support from almost anyone associated with Hewlett-Packard is hard to square with Fiorina’s own description of her achievements there.

“Many of her employees were very disenchanted by her. When she was let go, I think for the right reasons, there was a lot of singing ‘Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead.’”

The answer is obvious: HP employees are misogynist! Can’t possibly be any other reason...

Neither will Dept of Commerce, Dept of Education or EPA employees when they are fired.

Somebody better warn Meg Whitman. I guess they make women into CEOs so they can hate on 'em better.

Maybe they don’t want to get fired when their name shows up on the FEC report.

“HP Employees Won’t Give Carly Fiorina a Dime”

Neither will I, especially after Lucent went down to a few bucks a share from +90.

Well clearly you just didn’t understand the terms of your employment. I had a couple Carlybots explain to me in some detail how the reality that anyone even near the tech industry lived through was a figment of someones hatred for puppies or something. But rest assured your eyes, wallet and any life altering consequence lied to you. Carly was the bestist CEO EVAH! and it was all the Board’s fault.

Why do you hate kittens?

Given that it’s a big corporation and we’re talking about rich people, I’d bet most of them are Dhimmicraps.

Nothing from surviving HPers.

We know a few former HP’ers, and I can’t post their comments about her.
