On: HP Board Said to Weigh Ousting Apotheker as CEO

They can always hire back those who didn't find better employment.

The ones that didn't find better employment are likely not the ones at the top of their game.

And seriously, after your employer pulls a stunt like that would you go back?

[rbanffy → 0x12]

It depends on what the CEO got.

What bothers me is that it doesn't matter how incompetent Apotheker is and how suicidal his decisions at the helm of HP were, he'll leave it with a lot of money.

If we reward failure like this, how can we expect people to make the effort needed to succeed?

So - the 80% that did 20% of the work? Maybe not quite that, but... not a great strategy.

[rbanffy → davidw]

Really, no. It will take a lot of effort to undo Apotheker's stupid moves, but it's doable.
