Here�s a fact for you, Portfolio magazine named Fiorina the �19th
Worst CEO of All-Time��placing her in the top 20 along with the likes
of Dick Fuld, Ken Lay, Roger Smith and Bernie Ebbers. Why? Because
her tenure as CEO of Hewlett Packard was a disaster.

The magazine described Fiorina as �a consummate self-promoter� who
�paid herself handsome bonuses and perks while laying off thousands of
employees to cut costs. The merger Fiorina orchestrated with Compaq in
2002 was widely seen as a failure. She was ousted in 2005.�

While promoting herself as a job creator, the reality is Fiorina
proved much more adept as a jobs killer. In fact, she referred to
offshoring as �right-shoring�, and fired at least 18,000 people.
Fiorina told Fortune she �should have done them all faster."
