Ex-HP CEO Carly Fiorina Hired By Fox News

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the definitely-a-downgrade dept.

neutrino38 writes "The International Herald Tribune reports that Fox News hired Carly Fiorina, ex-HP CEO. Such an interesting move will certainly bring support to those who viewed her as the over-hyped CEO who killed the original corporate engineering culture know as 'the HP way.' The article, off course, does not elaborate on this aspect of things. Slashdot has previously reported her demise from HP and some comments mentioned some HP employee dancing in the cubicles then."

    I hope she brings Fox the same integrity and good business sense that she brought to HP.

      And Lucent. Let's never forget the fine job she did there.

      It's an astounding accomplishment to drive two of the world's premier engineering organizations into the ground within a decade. Truly Fox worthy.

    They should have got her for Surreal Life, but I'm sure Fox News will find something stupid for her to say.

    In other news, Fiorina will push to aquire the "We Network", rename it to "You" to make it more personal, and later merge it with Fox.

    The new network, of course, will be:Fox-You

  6. Is this the 'real' Carly Fiorina?? by jkrise · · Score: 2, Funny

    Or will it be someone else pretending to be her, but pocketing the money nevertheless?

    I forget the interesting euphemism they had for 'lying' on the phone... anyone remember?

    According to this comment, Carly feasted on the souls of thousands of decent tech workers at HP. Where is she going to find a soul at Fox News?

    I have visions of her, the arch-liche and Bill O'Reilly, some kind of undead bear, chucking mega spells at each other across the office.
