"Fiorina will contend that she was unfairly scrutinized as a woman in business...."
"Besides her $21 million severance pay, she began 2006 with 850,000 HP shares -- a stake that size is worth $31 million now."
Can I be "unfairly scrutinized", too?

I'll never forgive her for or understand why the best part of the company, Test and Meaasurement had to go.

Fiorina will contend that she was unfairly scrutinized as a woman in business After being promoted beyond her competence because she was a woman in business.
Typical narcissistic loser, she blames everyone else for the fact that she ran HP into the ground. Her only comeback will be to a teaching position far from the real world.
she revels in recent observations that she might deserve some credit for HP's performance since her departure. The stock is up 86 percent in that time.
Darlin', the stock is up 'cause you left.

Look at HP's margins compared with margins of the spin off companies that were sold, like Agilent.

I know little about Carly other than what I read, but I have a generally favorable impression of her. Therefore, it is especially disappointing that in her new book she plays the gender card and says that she was unfairly scrutinized because she was a woman.
Oh, puleeze. She made millions ans millions and held a lot of corporate power. Like many who went before her she discovered that Wall Street will back non-performers for only so long. Come on, Carly!

For one thing, she revels in recent observations that she might deserve some credit for HP's performance since her departure. The stock is up 86 percent in that time. This has to be a classic. The company gains in value because they fired her, and Carly is taking credit for that? It's like, gee, see how well they've done since they fired me, that means I must have done something right (by being fired).
So, let's see, Carly runs Lucent into the ground, runs H-P into the ground, what loser of a corporate board out there is going to bring her on as CEO and make her a three-time loser? Given the number of idiots out there in the upper management of American companies, I wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't step up and swallow the Kool Aide.

I saw the interview and it was pathetic.... It was an attempt to suggest that Carly and her successor, Patti Dunn, were victims of a white male conspiracy.
She, and Dunn, were incompetent and brought their failure upon themselves.
I almost puked when she complained about being fired on the spot as if she had no idea why not. I would bet that the month before, she told the board "I am going to find out who is leaking if I have to fire every one of you SOB's!!!"
She was a pathetic loser who thought it was all about her.

As a formeer HP employee, may I say that if Carly Fiorina ever decides to run for public office, that I will be most happy to vote against her.

At a reception for presenters at the Babson conference, people waited 15 minutes or more to meet Fiorina I've seen longer lines to meet Ann Coulter, a true self-made woman.

Always sell stock that has a CEO that is either (a) an affirmative-action hire like Carly; or (b) a 3rd-4th generation scion like Ford; or (c) the replacement for the brilliant maniac who built the company after he's bailed eg Microsoft.
To: stainlessbanner
"I feel incredibly blessed," she said. "I am an unexpected success story to myself."
It's all about Carly, I see. She was a disaster for HP, and that fact has nothing to do with her gender. Forcing her out was the best thing to happen at HP in a long while.
