Yet, due to the wacky world of business golden parachutes, she was jettisoned with millions of dollars in severance.

Those that were laid off? Pretty much nothing.

If you're not currently collecting them via some privacy-losing one like click-bate, get the unique IP addressed from your website log. I have a feeling that this number will be going up through the roof. It would be fun to watch (and fun to see if we can match the endpoints to RW sites.....)

Actually if it was a banana boat, then she'd be the figurehead on the front of the banana boat. They're all saying - LOOK! WE'VE got OUR pet woman too! SEE???? One of the voices on MSNBC just now was talking about carly-baby and pointing out correctly that "the republi-CONS think they have a style problem. What they actually have is a SUBSTANCE problem." As in - just because you stand a candidate in a skirt up there doesn't mean you're worth shit with women's issues!

She got a little over a million dollars in perks, bonus, and going away deal for each employee she terminated. The HP products she moved to China facotries was absolute garbage and HP wouldn't acknowledge the defects. She, Walker and the Republicans are wrecking balls.

that she'll make it to the debates. She needs a little stroking, but will probably slither away shortly. But I am THRILLED to hear she's running. She'd be an acceptable air freshener tag in the clown car.

You can add my wife to that site.

Not Carly herself but one of her protegees. Same playbook, take a pay cut to allegedly save your job, and then get laid off. And of course your severance is now at the new lower rate. I'd love to know her part in the HP spying scandal as well. Hell will freeze over before I vote for her for anything.

Bad trade policy had quite a bit to do with it as well but that's for another time and thread.

How callous can one be? Does anyone know the context of that quote? If it's really in regards to the layoffs, that is absolutely sociopathic:

"I would have done them all faster."
