HP is now run by business men, not engineers. If Carla didn't prove this to you, then you are probably never going to get it. The fact is, they don't care about Compaq, DEC, Palm, or even HP. They just want to pull in enough money over the next few years, until they retire. They could be selling Paper cups for all they care about the product, as long as they still get their bonuses.
- cookiecaper 17y agoI don't know if that's really true. Most businesspeople are not just interested in milking salaries. Like most other people, they want to do a good job at the job they've been assigned. Unless you have personal knowledge of the execs at HP, I wouldn't go so far; such a claim is rather personal and depends on a lot of individual factors and I don't think it can really be made en masse about a whole exec team. Also, there is financial incentive to set the company on an innovative, profit-filled future; many (most?) executives hold lots and lots of stock.
