that.
Is does seem like HP will hire pretty much anyone as CEO these days. Meg
Whitman ? I never saw that in a million years. She's never even worked
at a computer hardware company in her life. The board of HP is out of
their minds. What's the line on how long she lasts before being fired
with a huge golden parachute ?
You're not kiddin'! Carly Fiorina's main qualifying attributes
seemed to be her degree in history (!) and the idea that she was, at one
time, almost attractive.
Meg Whitman is at least an intelligent person. I think she has a
chance at doing some good IF she breaks with American CEO tradition and
listens to people who know how the business really works and take their
advice. I think she'd do well in the execution but probably not the
overall steering.
