Looks like HP made it three times on the above list of worst all time tech executive decisions. Lew Platt/Carly Fiorin/Mark Hurd, hand your head in shame.

Here is what HP employees should do:

Form a union to protect your interests and refuse to train your Indian replacements.

I hear Leo is emulating Dark Turd by laying off thousands of more HP employees. Will the layoffs never end?

Randy Mott’s gone and not a minute too soon.

I can’t wait to see how many of his ass licking cronies join him under his next rock. The damage in HP is deep, so deep that I think the company will be in real trouble. Apotheker will get the blame, but the real blame for the demise of HP will be the likes of Mark
Hurd, Randy Mott, Gary Budzinski and others.

This is a stock I’d avoid and a company I wouldn’t recommend joining.

Yeah, it’s sad really isn’t it. When you delve into the nature of corporate America, things like the origins of the global financial crisis, and the fundamental bribery and corruption passed off to the public as democracy in that country, then it’s not that surprising.

More than a year on from your comments things are worse at HP. Similar executive suite pay, perk and bene packages are ravaging cash flow. Moreover, as new executives arrive from parts unknown they take a look at what’s available to grab up, scam or grift and attach on to it.

This is a company in grave, _grave_, _GRAVE_ decline. The company, board and management ranks have lost their center on keeping the company and its businesses upright and are grabbing giftbags as they race to the exits.

Sorry Bill.

Sorry Dave.

Many, many of us are really just sorry we allowed your ideal to be sold out, whored out and enslaved to pigs.

I hate to throw a spanner in the works but I get concerned when I hear that people are siting and waiting for the economy to improve. (Assuming you are in the USA)
When I hear that coming from people in the US, I get the sense that you’re buying into the illusion, created by the corporate owned news media and corporate owned government (both parties) that all the problems that beset the economy and caused the GFC have been resolved when in fact they haven’t. The very same people and organizations that caused the problem are continuing business as usual. In fact the US have just today handed the keys to congress back to the very party responsible for causing the deregulation mess the resulted in the situation you are in now. It can only get worse.
Thinking that the USA will somehow miraculously get back to the halcyon days of manufacturing supremacy completely ignores the fact that the basis of that supremacy was the rest of the world was completely destroyed during WW2 – handing the US a major advantage that lasted for 50-60 years. That advantage has well and truly gone and been surpassed by superior technology, significantly better efficiency, lower cost, and governments that invest in their people and infrastructure rather than wage pointless and expensive wars in countries they have no business occupying. How can it get better for you in the US?
The way I see it is that unless you change the very nature of your government, eliminate private funding for election campaigns replacing it with public funding only, and actually replace the personnel themselves, you are screwed.
Additionally, if you are sitting in the stands rather then playing on the political court you will simply be ignored – get involved.
For more interesting reading on this subject read Matt Taibbi’s book “Griftopia” to get a better sense of what I’m talking about.
