“That you keep using the BS phrase that she “ran the companies into the ground”, proves you know nothing about her or her ability.”
Yes, her disdain for the HP way, dismantling a corporate culture of a successful business is wise indeed. Buying Compaq was a huge mistake, much of their products overlapped, and the HP servers that I worked on a before the purchase of Compaq were far superior to any Compaq product. The purchase of Compaq alone was almost enough to kill HP. HP also manufactured a lot of specialized, (high dollar), equipment that they quit making under Fiorina. I’m thinking medical monitors and telemetry equipment.
There are many testimonials from the founders of HP to people who worked with Fiorina about her detached, manipulative management style. The vendor reps for HP didn’t seem to happy with what came out of corporate under Fiorina.
You won’t look anything up? That figures. It seems that’s how you approach things. Who needs information when you have an opinion, right?
And she was fired, wasn’t she?
You assail my ability to judge, and yet you haven’t established any credentials of your own. You debate this like a hysterical woman trying to promote a sister.
The last word is yours, I won’t continue this with you, but I will tell you, I’ll be on these Fiorina threads to let people know what they’re getting with this woman. When she was fired, you could hear “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” all over at HP.
Not just at HP, either.
