(260 posts)Words fail, I was already a long time HP employee when they brought her in. Just ask any former HP employee about the 're-invention stock options' she gave to every employee when she started. They were set at the price of the stock the day she became CEO. They expired 10 years later, still underwater. Not to mention the 'coordination' of employee benefits when HP purchased Compaq, I suspect you can probably guess which side of the employee/corporation tango that favored.
To paraphrase Dorothy Parker: Every word she says is a lie including 'and' and 'the'.
However if you just let her words flow over you with an uncritical ear she sounds great, but she failed completely when measured by her own yardstick.

(28,940 posts)I've worked for a couple of those - very unpleasant.
Based on your description, she's a standard Repug, an amoral bully and has been for a long time.

(4,473 posts)It was Mary McCarthy about Lillian Hellman.
Incidentally, Hellman sued McCarthy for libel, and McCarthy (and her lawyers) was able to prove that Hellman had lied repeatedly. The suit was dropped when Hellman died and her executors declined to carry it on.
On another subject, when Fiorina was at Lucent Technologies, she artificially increased the stock price by lending money to not-very-creditworthy firms and pretending that any of the loans that were actually being written off were still assets. Anticipated interest from those loans was also carried as assets, even though, realistically, Lucent would not see any of it.

(20,453 posts)She then, toned down and finished her sentence. Can you get the idea of what the typical Board of Directors meetings must have been at HP?
She's a hot mess of wing-nuttery without the butter, alright.
Too bad they don't have anyone who's fit to run for president. It makes a mockery out of the generals and a cake walk for someone who has a clean and hones record like Sanders does... He'd slice through her like butter with the truth. She'd remain the inept CEO loser that she has been.
But, Fox would hire her, I'm betting.

(24,718 posts)since she was making the "moral equivalency" argument, he should have asked her if she knew of any Republicans shot or killed after President Obama made derisive or critical statements about THEM, as in the case of anti-abortion or other right wing gun nutters. And he didn't.

(616 posts)His remark about "Look at that face" may not have been a judgment on her looks but, rather, her demeanor.
Hekate
(90,562 posts)The fact that he actually got something right about Fiorina is virtually beside the point of his own basic nature.
