And if that doesn't convince you, Google the sad story of Lucent Technologies, which will probably soon be absorbed (in a much smaller form than before Fiorina ruined it) into Nokia.

I had a friend whose family had worked and devoted their lives in a business he took over. He came in and said all the workers would be guaranteed their jobs...And then fired them all and sold off the company.
POS he was, but he sold the people such a loaf of crap.
BEWARE!!!

(34,462 posts)On April 15, 2015, Finnish telecommunications firm Nokia announced its intent to purchase Alcatel-Lucent for 15.6 billion in an all-stock deal. The acquisition aims to create a stronger competitor to the rival firms Ericsson and Huawei, whom Nokia and Alcatel-Lucent had surpassed in terms of total combined revenue in 2014. The acquisition is expected to be completed in early 2016, and is subject to regulatory approval. The Bell Labs division will be maintained, but the Alcatel-Lucent brand will be replaced by Nokia.
