3. HP No Longer Top Place to Work - Magazine



George Bush thought she was going to coordinate re-arranging the furniture
but!

So the #1 question is : CF is a space shot and we all knew that long ago..


1. Fiorina Among Bush Space Advisors
President Bush has named HP CEO and Chairman Carly Fiorina
to his Presidential Commission on the Implementation of
United States Space Exploration Policy, which was created
to help the president figure out how to get people back on
the moon and then to Mars. The panel comprises nine business
leaders, scientists and space exploration experts. NASA will
fund and support the commission. The members will not be paid,
but will have their travel and other expenses covered. They are
to report to the president within 120 days of their first meeting,
according to a White House press statement. Former Air Force
Secretary Edward C. Aldridge Jr. will lead the commission.
Other members are planetary scientist Michael P. Jackson,
former deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of
Transportation; Laurie Ann Leshin, a planetary geochemist
at Arizona State University; retired Air Force Gen. Lester
L. Lyles; Paul Spudis of Johns Hopkins University's Applied
Physics Laboratory (APL); Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist,
book author and director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York;
former U.S. Rep. Robert Smith Walker of Pennsylvania; and Mars
researcher Maria Zuber of MIT.

Wow Whoduhthunk

In its first attempt since the merger, HP failed to make
Fortune's list of the "100 Best Companies to Work For."
Internal memos say that workers questioned the credibility
and fairness of management as well as its respect for workers.
Fortune surveys a random sampling of 250 employees from companies
who have applied for the list. HP is fighting back by hiring a
consultant to review the results. When responding to the statement
"I believe management would lay people off only as a last resort,"
44 percent of the HP workers surveyed agreed. The average for
companies that made the list was 84 percent.


Gee I think that CF no longer has or never had the respect of the workers.

CF: Question... How long have you worked here at HP?

Employee: 27 years Mam...

CF: Thank you and here is your pink slip.... do NOT let the door hit you on
the way out..

OH and take that HP3000 thing with you.  Can you say LINUX or TV or Smile
