Hey, is this funny, or what? According to Silicon Valley News, HP investors have suffered over the past few years, through an ill-starred merger with Compaq and all the shit that followed, then watching in horror as “Queen Carly” walked away from the flaming wreckage with fucking billions of dollars in exit compensation. So, I am not surprised that some institutional investors have finally cried foul over former CEO Carly Fiorina's golden parachute. This morning a pension fund announced it was going to sue the shit out of HP for not seeking shareholder approval when it granted Fiorina's jaw dropping severance package of $42 million. But, what’s really funny is that on the same day the above shit hit the fan, it was also announced that “Queen Carly” will be the keynote speaker at the National Business Travel Association’s 38th Annual International Convention & Exposition, July 16 in Chicago. In a “How far up your bum can I stick my tongue” press release, NBTA President and CEO Suzanne Fletcher remarked, “NBTA is pleased to welcome Carly Fiorina to the NBTA 2006 International Convention & Exposition. Mrs. Fiorina is widely viewed as one of the most influential women in the business community. Her experiences as a leader will provide NBTA Convention attendees valuable lessons on business savvy, effective management and learning from challenging experiences.” Fucking right, Suzanne baby, I would love a challenging experience that allowed me to pocket more money than the GNP of a mid-sized African country! Bet you don’t walk away with millions after you get your ass kicked outa the travel biz!
It's called a "Golden Parachute" for a reason!
