Oracle CEO Larry Ellison Rips “Vindictive” HP Lawsuit
- chc 16y agoThis from the guy who's suing Google over Dalvik? I really have to wonder if he's that lacking in perspective or if he gets the irony of his complaint and just doesn't care.
- jamespitts 16y agoI was very happy with HP's "return to engineering" when Hurd came aboard, even invested in it. The whole Fiorina drama really left a bad taste in my mouth, but somehow Hurd brought HP back to its cultural center-of-gravity, even considering the challenging, monster acquisitions. But WTF just happened? Why are they acting so randomly? HP's standards are double because the Board will fire an effective CEO (for mistakes that can be dealt with quietly and fairly), and yet only weeks later sues for his reasonable employment choices. Where is the high moral ground in that? It is as if the board wants to avoid paying the market price for their impracticality.
- S_A_P 16y agoWhen your good friend is Larry Ellison I somehow doubt he is losing sleep over potentially losing his severance. This article mainly just serves to add to my disgust of the politics of big business. Enough litigation already.
