Now I see your bias. Meg took over as CEO of the company when it was 30 people. Most companies that size crater and are never heard from again.
- btilly 14y agoMost companies of 30 people do not have as a major logistical problem, "Open envelopes filled with cash fast enough." eBay did. I personally respect her. But eBay was on a path to success even before she showed up. And the eBay culture that developed has some notable imperfections. More recently her tenure at HP has been disappointing. I personally am sympathetic to the theory that the depth of HPs problems were not fully understood by the stock market, and a period of severe disappointment was inevitable before they got back on track. But I can understand someone blaming that on her. (And indeed, unless something positive happens with the stock price, I'm not sure how much more time she'll get to right that ship.)
