The problem is that she was invited to join HP in the first place.

I witnessed the demiss of the "old" HP from an internal seat, it wasn't a
pretty sight or pleasant event for many employees.

Power went to her head and she decided to place her own "stamp" on the
company, whether that was going to be for the good or bad didn't matter.
Carly's own personal financial future is solid no matter what happens to HP.

Just my rant and opinion.
