The Carly Fiorina bandwagon rolls on. Now she is suggesting she may have been fired because she intended to begin a process of revamping the firm's board in the wake of boardroom media leaks during her time at the helm. Oh Purrrleeez… Just because that particular pig has raised its ugly head in the last few weeks, don’t try and use it as an excuse for the real reason you got your butt kicked out of HP… It’s simple… Any CEO who runs the place with an iron fist and has total and absolute control for over five years and sees the value of the stock decline by more than 50% deserves to get fired! Claims that as early as 2005, Fiorina had quizzed the board about media leaks and had asked the Palo Alto computer and printer company's outside counsel to do an investigation aren’t worth the paper they are printed on! ``I think some people were uncomfortable that I was going to do it,'' she said of her intention to examine the board. Hey Carly, take your $50 million golden parachute and move on. I’m sure in the true spirit of Corporate America you’ll find another bunch of idiots willing to take you on as CEO for millions in salary and perks then sit back and watch as you drive another fine company into the dirt!
I mean cm'on, I worked my fingers to the freakin' bone at that place. And what thanks do I get? A lousy $51 million, that's all!
Carly is an paranoid idiot. She was given the opportunity to run Lucent then she destroyed the company (stock was near 60 at her arrival.Today it trades around 2-3 bucks)Somehow she moves over to HP where she worked her same magic. I have never understood how the same failed leaders get passed from firm to firm.
