I lived through all those splits as an hp employee and I think this is a very good analysis. A few more anecdotes: - When we got the news that Fiorina left you could hear "ding dong the witch is dead" being sung across the entire floor. In retrospect maybe she wasn't as bad as we thought, but completely lacking empathy - We (hp) were saddled with a lot of debt when Whitman took HPE, the thinking was that Enterprise had a brighter future. Luckily we came out okay out of the split - EDS acquisition was awful, we got like 200000 employees that never delivered on the promised Enterprise synergy - It's amazing that we survived "burn the furniture" Hurd (RIP) and completely clueless Apotheker (purchased criminal con man Lynch's autonomy)
