"Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co (HPE) said on Tuesday that Meg Whitman was stepping down as chief executive officer, sending its shares down 7.4 percent in trading after the bell.

Whitman engineered the biggest breakup in corporate history during her 6 year tenure at the helm, creating HPE and PC-and-printer business HP Inc from parent Hewlett Packard Co in 2015."

    This isn't an either/or proposition. My company was purchased by HP under Apotheker, then sold off after the HPI/HPE split by Whitman. Some of the worst management I've ever seen, and I worked at Dell during some of the worst years. HP was pretty much doomed before Whitman, of course, but piece-meal selling off the bits of the company that were still somewhat functional was a process that could have been done by anyone. The amount of money these dipshits get paid for destroying things other people have built is just outrageous.
