I don't know much about Carly Fiorina or HP, but this page does nothing to convince me that she's not right: If you're going to end up laying off 30,000 people (out of 300,000 or so) after the dot com bubble burst, wouldn't sooner and faster be better?

I don't really understand the point of this page though. Running a business entails making difficult decisions that can hurt people. So does running a country?

What's wrong with laying off people, it's business. Grow up.

I personally think laying off people at the time was the right decision.

However, buying a company with an identical product portfolio like Compaq, with the reason 'we wanted to get into consulting' was stupid, when for the same price HP could have purchased Accenture - even if Accenture hadn't grown, it still would have been a much better choice.

Yep, having ever had to make hard decisions in serious situations should definitely disqualify presidential hopefuls.

Why does having a family entitle you to a job?

Responsive design too.

Hahaha well played!
