Carly Fiorina: One of the 20 Worst CEOs of ALL TIME!
#19: Carly Fiorina
Hewlett-Packard
1999-2005

A consummate self-promoter, Fiorina was busy pontificating on the lecture circuit and posing for magazine covers while her company floundered. She paid herself handsome bonuses and perks while laying off thousands of employees to cut costs. The merger Fiorina orchestrated with Compaq in 2002 was widely seen as a failure. She was ousted in 2005.

THE STAT: HP stock lost half its value during Fiorina's tenure.

1. As a Californian...
...if Californian voters put this pitiful excuse for a human being into office, then Californians deserve whatever follows.

I consider Fiorina and Whitman to be my state's own personal Kodos & Kang. At some point they will split doen the middle and people ain;t gonna like what they see.

7. I agree, if Whitman and Fiorina are elected we deserve what we get.

4. She is an "Asset Stripper"....
..just like the hedge fund vampires. She broke apart HP and sold off the separate parts. Then she outsourced all the jobs and screwed the loyal workers.. and declared a victory.

Just what California doesn't need right now.
