WSJ.com - Carly Fiorina Resigns As H-P CEO, Chairman: "Hewlett-Packard Co.'s board announced that Carly Fiorina has stepped down as chairman and chief executive, effective immediately, over strategic disagreements.
Robert P. Wayman, H-P's chief financial officer, has been named interim CEO and appointed to the board. Patricia C. Dunn, an H-P director since 1998, has been named nonexecutive chairman, also effective immediately, the company said.
'While I regret the board and I have differences about how to execute H-P's strategy, I respect their decision,' said Ms. Fiorina in H-P's press release. 'H-P is a great company and I wish all the people of H-P much success in the future,' she said."
What Mr. Skilling and Ms. F have in common is their indifference to the substance of their businesses. They are all "message." They despise their employees, their shareholders, and their customers; they have little interest in the products their companies sell; but they love themselves and the trappings and power of their rank.
