HP's mission is to invent technologies and services that drive business value, create social benefit and improve the lives of customers—with a focus on affecting the greatest number of people possible.
The HP logo say’s Invent not distribute, so the day Carly decided to stick HP's name on Apple’s iPod was the day HP lost it’s way.
People first was the HP way, not a single layoff in 50 years! This is the company that began with two geniuses in a garage, the classic American dream of inspiration and perspiration.
Carly Fiorina was a polished spokesperson, brilliant saleswoman, who will be remembered for the company’s controversial merger with Compaq Computer. Since the merger, some 18,000 HP employees have been laid off, yet Fiorina often spoke positively during her tenure about the trend of off-shoring jobs. She even lobbied Congress against new laws that would limit the ability of companies like HP to outsource and offshore labor.
Can you imagine outsourcing inspiration and innovation?
