An Engineer's View of Carly Fiorina's Leadership
prostoalex writes "There is a pretty damning look at Carly Fiorina's leadership while at HP on TechnologyReview.com. The author was working for HP Labs, the center of invention and innovation for the company, only to be told that nothing exciting will happen in the tech market since it's a mature industry. He left the company in 2003. "The lab was never packed with genius marketers. Carly told us we had no business sense, and that every project needed to make a profit within three years or less. She usually said that right before the research budget got slashed again and more lab employees were laid off."" Update: 03/19 03:13 GMT by Z : As detailed on the TechnologyReview page, they have retracted the story on the grounds that they can no longer vouch for it.
In case you haven't looked at the US debt... The US Japanese slowly sold off their land holdings and bought US bonds and now own more than US citizens do.
My girlfriend assures me that they have "Hello Kitty" washing machines (and other household appliances) in Japan - now _that_ is disturbing.
What a long, strange trip it's been.
How is it relevant? I cannot think of a more fitting toy for Carly than a Hello Kitty vibrator..
