Thread regarding HP (Hewlett-Packard) layoffs

Regret majoring in tech

Should have went for something that wasn’t going to have me stuck in a dead end contract software developer/full stack developer role in a sector that’s full of layoffs.

@gh “Carly Fiorina also has an MBA and an MS in Management which you conveniently ignored. She only managed to get a job as a secretary with that “liberals” arts degree as you put it. She had to get her MBA before she got into a management position training program.”
From what I read, Carly’s husband helped her career a great deal at ATT. She’s definitely a politician so that’s the kind of person who succeed in a big corporation like HP.

It's not your tech degree that's the problem, it's what you've done with that degree that matters now. Investing your career in HP was a major mistake. Career choices have consequences.

@12c
Thanks for your comment on my post.
Apparently someone had my post removed...I guess the real facts about Carly offended them..

@120 Fiorina spend almost two decades at ATT/Lucent before coming to HP. She obviously knew something about business (or should have), but that doesn't mean she knew how to actually manage a business as you outlined well.

@ck “ Carly Fiorina has a liberals arts degree and was able to climb the corporate ladder of success to a level that you will never achieve. If you had foresight you could be half the woman she is instead of a fool

Carly Fiorina also has an MBA and an MS in Management which you conveniently ignored. She only managed to get a job as a secretary with that “liberals” arts degree as you put it. She had to get her MBA before she got into a management position training program.

"Carly Fiorina has a liberals arts degree and was able to climb the corporate ladder of success to a level that you will never achieve. If you had foresight you could be half the woman she is instead of a fool."

And she destroyed Lucent and HP along the way. It wasn't her Liberal Arts degree if you could look below the surface, which you obviously can't. She was a ruthless liar and manipulator, the likes of which very few can achieve.

I only majored in tech because I thought it would make me rich, but despite making a six figure salary I’m still living in an apartment with dirty crazy neighbors. I spend my weekends getting drunk to drown out the sorrow.

Nothing worse than being a permanent contract worker. If it makes you feel better I majored in marketing instead of tech and am in the same boat but I just create power points all day instead of code.
