HP's Dunn Stepping Down

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the backlash dept.

XJHardware writes "Yahoo news is reporting that Patricia Dunn is stepping down from the chair of HP." From the article: "Hurd will retain his existing positions as chief executive and president and Dunn will remain as a director after she relinquishes the chair on Jan. 18. 'I am taking action to ensure that inappropriate investigative techniques will not be employed again. They have no place in HP,' Hurd said in a statement. Dunn apologized for the techniques used in the company's probe, which included 'pretexting' in which private investigators impersonated board members and journalists to acquire their phone records."

    crushing a woman simply because she is powerful. Well, and amoral. Illegal, too.

    Anyway, it's just the establishment putting someone down just because they are female and criminal.
