If you’re an HP shareholder (and thought things had finally turned around) more drama from the Executive Suite.
The BOD of directors spying?! on their own members? Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anything like this.Kudo’s should be given to to Tom Perkins (a Board member and Uber-VC) who pointed out this was “illegal, unethical and a misplaced corporate priority.” He then promptly resigned after the other members refused(?!) to back him.UPDATE: Checkout this letter from Thomas Perkins to the Board.
"Wow" is right! I knew things were bad at HP, but I didn’t realize that this kind of spying and backstabbing was going on. I agree that Perkins should be commended for his actions; too bad he got no support along the way.
Its getting even more crazy! A DA in California is looking into it!
