I see more jobs heading overseas and the stocks tanking even further

1. Poor Carly
couldn't finish the job she started so they're bringing Whitman in to put a bullet in the head.

To think that HP used to be a quality company.

8. I don't get this - didn't she have a record of failure
and incompetence at Ebay? Why would this be rewarded?

Nevermind, I guess I see the comedic tragedy of corp america. Someone smarter than I called it the Executive Industry. Supported by BOD's with a revolving supporting cast, of the same characters. They certainly know how to reward each other.

I can only hope I will get as many chances to fail as Meg.

9. A woman who spent $200,000,000 to come in second place for a job that pays $212,000/yr.
What genius decided to hire *this* woman?
