The merger with Compaq took a company with a good product (HP) mixed it up with an inferior product and then sunk down to compaq's level rather than elevating compaq. Jobs were outsourced to (I think) India, they refused to stand behind their product.
Lucent? Where is Lucent today? (I know the answer, GONE). Lucent, as I recall was an offshoot of the Bell breakup. IMO, a monkey with a wig could have provided better leadership that Ms. Fiorino. Again they merged downward by taking on vtech, their stock was all over the place.
What would she do as POTUS, outsource Congress to Haiti (sounds good-LOL) and turn off lights in the WH to balance the budget?

I think it is telling when a person bad mouths the out sourcing actions. It tells me there is not a familiarity with why such actions are neccessitated by ever increasing costs here in the USA (for a lot of reasons). The single biggest expense in most income statements is wages/salaries/labor.
And it is pretty ommon knowledge that there are always more people employed than needed....at the shirt/skirt and tie level as well as the blue collar/labor level.
No sense going any further as I am sure that is not what the interest is in...the why that is.
The minority opinion is duly noted!!
