The first thing she did at HP was to ship her sailboat cross country. As a relocation expense. She killed PA-RISC, Test & Measurement and worst of all HP is now compaq. Her “forced” ranking meant that at any time 10% of the workforce was performing unacceptably. F’n ****. It has been said that she has a degree in business and in history. She made HP history.
Did she also kill the Alpha? Or was that Compaq?
Too bad about the PA-RISC, I really liked that chip family.
