HP may oust Apotheker for former eBay CEO Meg Whitman

Meg Whitman is a pro at organizing Fire Sales!

They should go for Carol Bratz

Whitman is a complete moron. Her success at eBay was more company momentum than anything else   .. goodbye HP. 

Such GREAT news.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *cough* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

i’d slip her the dick

Should have kept mark hurd and set up a hush fund to keep the mistresses quiet.

LOL, hope she doesn’t have to spend more of her money running for that seat.

HP was founded by two extraordinarily talented engineers in a garage, and under their advisement it became famous for innovation and extraordinary quality. Generations of engineers respected HP for its commitment to building solid products.

Then Hewlett and Packard died, and their leadership was replaced by stupidity from wave after wave of charlatans. They turned HP into a manufacturer of printer ink and completely unremarkable computers. As an engineer who grew up using their hardware, I find this horrifying.

Someone please make it stop, and put an engineer back as CEO. If they start making good products that people want, maybe they can regain the consumer’s trust. I’d rather see HP go down in flames as an engineer’s outfit than see its innovative spirit being destroyed and still fail from a business perspective.

Hmmmmm. Getting rid of Leo is a no brainer. If true, an excellent move by the HP Board.

However, Meg Whitman is in no way qualified to run HP. EBay is a very poorly managed company and always has been. EBay is also ‘low-tech.’ Surely they must have a better option. 

It is almost as though they are trying to drive the company to failure. 

I ran ebay, so i can surely run california……hp sounds like a better fit for ol’ meg

Wow.. Meg isn’t exactly a good chess move either. Her campaign here in California was a joke at best. She’s shallow and lacks substance… Your classic Billionaire.

HP needs Mr. Hewlett or Mr. Packard.. or.. Mr. Rubinstein..!!

10 millions dollars to fail. ill take that job.

take 3 years off to fail at politics and then get a new CEO job after overpaying for skype?

wtf is going on

I hear Carol Bartz is looking for a job.

I am going to say it first, the stock will fall even further.  How many dumb moves can a company make? Apparently many, if HP puts that dumb Meg in as CEO. 

HP should hire Michael Scott to run the company. 

Great. Trade one retard for another.

Meg Whitman ran for governor, apposing Jerry Brown who won the privilege to be the top executive of the government of California.

Whiteman lost, in part, because she made a devastatingly self-destructive statement.

She said that she wanted to restore California’s economy to a period in history when it was healthy. That period coincided to when Brown was successfully governing Calif. the first time, thus unintentionally touting Jerry Brown’s economic policies. Epic fail: She did not examine Brown’s record. She did not brush up on Calif. history. She spoke from ignorance.

Intending to diminish Brown’s reputation, she instead increased it.

The voters must have thought, “Well, if Whitman will employ Brown’s formulas for success, why not simply vote Brown?” 

As an aside, it turned out that Brown did not have to waste campaign funds to compete with Whitman; She competed with herself. She tanked herself. Also, while she spent about four million to lose, yes millions, Brown spent thousands yet won clearly demonstrating that he is a fiscal conservative so popular now. Oh my.

This is the context in which the rumor of HP hiring Whitman as top administrator must be placed.

There is a big difference between selling your old junk and running tech company, her political decisions truly showed her intelligence.

Whitman was a disaster for eBay, with any success the company had being achieved despite its CEO’s vision, not as a result of it.

You know you are in bad shape as a company when you are rumored to add Meg Whitman as your CEO and it’s considered an upgrade…….
