- protomyth 16y agoI am of the same opinion. I always thought that the board had lost it's way and Fiorina / Hurd were just the consequences. It is not like the board didn't know what they were getting.
- brown9-2 16y agoI agree. You can't blame a single person for such a large strategic shift. She is just the most visible, and the easiest to blame. However, some number of people had to think it was a good idea to hire her, continue to extend her contract, and reward her performance with huge compensation. Even a CEO has a boss.
- nostrademons 16y agoThe analogy here is that if she's elected and screws up the country, then it's the voters' fault. Which is true, but is also a good reason to not put yourself in that position as a voter.
