Yes She Is

Carly Fiorina's outster was actually one of the secrets that were leaked; an issue that caused the entire HP board to launch the investigation. To suggest that she is not relevant is to distract from one of the central issues of the HP spy scandal.

I suppose this post will be censored -- that seems to happen when I express my informed opinion about HP that counters an outsiders biased glances.

Fiorina's failures at AT&T and Lucent left both companies in a state of dysfunction, and while at HP, I found that she brought moral and accountability so low, you thought you were working with government.

I agree with Carly Fiorina; that the board most certainly was amateurish, technically shallow and lazy, but Carie was the person who oversaw the failed merger and printer ink wars that left HP bloody and embarrassed. She seemed downright stupid.

It is however -- very important for failed CEOs and executives to tell their stories when they leave under fire. Stockholders will never learn about why things happen from the WSJ, nor Bloomberg -- especially when you have fan boys and apologists who simply want to "forget and move on..." in defiance of logic and wisdom. Wisdom says, "if you don't study your history you are cursed to repeat it..."

I just hope that people see what is happening at Ebay and other corporations where stylish females like Carie get away with murder until the companies that they victimize are destroyed. And yes, I do believe that sometimes females get away with more failures than men.
