I'll bet most of today's FR Fiorina posters never have been in a position to tell someone their job went away, much less had to make the decision to do layoffs.
I don’t like her but cmon, argue on the issues. HP is still around and is still a good company. She couldn’t have done that badly.
She made sure she made 10’s of millions while firing 30,000 people.

Very true and it is tough.
I was working at an HP site (not an HP employee) when she was made CEO.
You should have heard the HP engineers...most were ready to quit that day.
Carly at HP
Craig Barrett at Intel
John Scully at Apple
The worst CEO’s ever to run a Silicon Valley company
