Posted by samzenpus on from the almost-done dept.

itwbennett writes: On Friday, embattled HP was hit with a new lawsuit filed by the state of Michigan over a 10-year-old, $49 million project that called for HP to replace a legacy mainframe-based system built in the 1960s. Through the suit filed in Kent County Circuit Court, the state seeks $11 million in damages along with attorney's fees and the funds needed to rebid and re-procure the contract.

    I'm sure that there are political entities that are gonna have fun with this one. Guess who the leader of HP was when this deal was brokered?

    CEO: Carly Fiorina (July 19, 1999–February 9, 2005; Chairwoman September 22, 2000–February 9, 2005)

    Was that your first guess? Oh Noes here comes the train of idi.. *damn, too late*

      Fiorina was in place when this deal was being brokered, and her "leadership" is still screwing HP over to this day.

      She eviscerated the company and was rewarded with tons of money and is pointed as a shining example of women CEOs for some reason. She's ruined EVERYTHING she has ever touched.
