Hp is clueless. I think this is 7 or 8 CEOs since 1999.

I work for HP and no, it hasn’t been 7 or 8 CEOs since 1999. It just seems that way. Carly Fiorina replaced Lew Platt in 1999. Mark Hurd replaced Fiorina in 2006 (iirc). Leo Apotheker replaced Hurd last year. I’m too shell-shocked to make an assessment of Whitman. We didn’t have layoffs or offshoring at this company until Hurricane Carly hit, and HP was consistently one of the top 10 places to work. Not after Carly. Hurd took layoffs and offshoring — sorry, it’s “best shoring” now — to an art form. Apotheker was barely here long enough to find the Men’s room. I’m scared of whoever this BoD brings in.
