Lucent, the former AT&T labs, was a great company before the spin off and iCarly.

Secretary to CEO? How unlikely.

Ping.
Carly did such a wonderful job at Lucent that they got bought by Alcatel.
The money they were “making” was due to them lending money to customers.
“Revenue” from the “loans” was listed as new sales income and debt was stashed on balance sheets as a supposedly solid asset.
A scheme that ultimately failed.

Fiorina is refined, well-spoken and has great command of concepts and facts. She has also been a complete disaster at Lucent, HP and in her CA senatorial campaign.

She's all hat and no cattle.

Lucent and all the landline, long distance phone businesses of the early 2000s cratered, regardless of who was running them.

Name one that turned around.

Unless the CEO used what little assets were left to get into another wildly successful enterprise.

Yahoo did this with Alibaba. Yahoo is a dying business. They do nothing uniquely well. But they did invest in Alibaba and survived.

Steve Jobs was a unique superstar. He could reinvent a company. Larry Elison was good keeping Oracle alive, by acquiring other companies, but the enterprise software market will never go away, like wired long distance phone companies did.

She still has more class in her little pinky than Donald could ever have and more accomplishments than the witch from Little Rock

She should have invested in cattle futures instead.

She also got take apart by Boxer who is dumb in a CA election where Fiorina was making fun of Boxer’s looks.

She also praised jesse jackson and is in favor of giving anchor babies citizenship and illegals amnesty.

She is a big GOPe phoney.

You didn't paste the damning statement, that Lucent under Fiorina's leadership lent tiny companies millions so they could buy Lucent products. Then they counted all that as income and hid the debt on the books. Classic corporate con job to pump up the stock short-term and rape the investors while she got out with millions. She's a crook.

Personally, I made a very, very, good bit of money over this “disaster”. Then I paid cash for a new car and moved to a bigger house.
I had no problem with it - and quiet frankly wouldn’t mind such a “disaster” striking again.

I'm just asking don't shoot me—

—HP hired her and she left Lucent with $65 million in performance based pay. Why was HP so stupid to hire her if she did so bad at Lucent and why did Lucent give her the $65 million. If you say “it was in her contract” well that's not her problem. If it were Trump he'd consider that “making a good deal and using his negotiating skills”.

— Also, the guy that headed her firing is now a supporter who said they made a mistake.

— Lastly, THOUSANDS have lost jobs that worked for Trump. I know four. I'm not against Trump. as I keep saying I am undecided. But there seems to be a hell of a lot of double standards on this site.
