Oh come off it, Carly! You didn't get fired for being a woman; you got fired for bad performance just like a man. Maybe you should learn to take it like one. P.S. Just like kids can't choose their parents, sometimes you just get bad boards. HP's bad board behavior isn't unfortunately exceptional.

I wonder if Walter Hewlett was still on the board if the situation would have played out differently.... Has anyone read Carly's book who can provide info on what she said about Walter? What goes around comes around is soooooo true.

Carly, just go away. I was an employee of HP for 35 years. You destroyed our company, you destroyed the HP Way, right down to changing the Hp logo. The purchase of Compaq was a tremendous mistake. The employees told you that from the start, but you didn't listen. You never listened to any of the higher management people either. Just go away and keep your mouth shut about HP, you did enough damage while you were the CEO.

Just like she can't get 100% of the credit, she couldn't get 100% of the blame. It's true she had a tough board, and a tough market. My question is whether she did anything in specific to change to board dynamics. If not, why not? Was she, perhaps, worried about keeping her job to not focus on the thing that would ultimately benefit the organization? I see ethics as making choices above one's own interest and so far I can't see one that Carly made. And that has me concerned more than any of the other media reports.
Thoughts?

Carly, thanks for your candor. Your book was insightful and self reflective - a refreshing change from bombastic, full of leadership management jargon, lecture style drivel of other ex-CEOs' memoirs. You've obviously given it your all and made some tough choices under some very difficult circumstances.. I would doubt that any other CEO would have done "better" in the same situation.

As a former HP employee I agree completely with Pickleman. Carly, just go away.
