Carly Fiorina

Ms. Parker at the Post pens a clunker about Fiorina.

There's nothing like the crowd at the main event to make a well-spoken Republican woman look good--to another Republican woman, at least.

As head of HP she trashed 30,000 jobs. Make her President and what will it be 300,000 or 3,000,000?

HP merged with Compaq (call it acquired)in 2001 to become an $87 Billion company. Today HP has a market cap of $54.5 Billion. How is that for ruining one of the most innovative and respected companies in Technology? She was forced out in 2005 for a $21 Million buyout.

That's a lot of red ink.

I understand that Fiorina got another $21 million in stock options and retirement on top of the $21 million buy out. IIRC Lucent Technologies was another casualty of Carly's.

She was just warming up for Meg to come in and do more layoffs and restructuring of a company that is without any real product support anymore.

Don't know about the additional $21 Mils, will try and dig it up. Right on the Lucent tenure, Frim Wiki:
Quote:
In 1997, she was appointed chair of Lucent's consumer communications joint venture with Philips, Philips Consumer Communications.[29] It was dissolved a year later after garnering only a 2% market share in mobile phones and losing $500 million on a revenue of $2.5 billion.

It is amazing that someone can get weeks of good pr and become a hot trend off a few sound bites, or dropping a couple witty remarks in a showcase.

However, if you fail to drive a company adequately, or cannot be both a stellar manager and not stick your foot completely down your throat, we really don't need you as president.
