Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Hp laptop battery
New HP CEO Léo Apotheker is taking the helm of a company whose employees are psychologically damaged by years of cost cutting by Mark Hurd.
"Hurd was fawned over by Wall St. but he made the numbers at the expense of the future of HP with R&D cuts, selling off HP's real estate and treating employees like dirt. Good riddance for him," says one employee.
Yesterday we asked HP employees what they think of the new boss. We heard back from over a dozen employees. It was a mixed bag of messages, but this comment most succinctly expresses what we heard:
"What do I or any of us think of Mr. Apotheker? What does it matter? HP has stopped caring what any of its employees think or how we feel about anything that is done. We are no different than printers or laptops with battery such as Hp F2299A battery , Hp F3172A battery , Hp Pavilion ZT1000 battery , Hp Pavilion XZ200 battery , Hp Pavilion ZT1100 battery , Hp Omnibook XT1000 battery , Hp Omnibook XT1500 battery , Hp F2019 battery , Hp F2019A battery , Hp F2019B battery , HP Compaq Armada E700 Battery , HP Compaq 316369-001 Battery , just covered in flesh."
Ouch.
HP is a company with hundreds of thousands of employees around the world. This employee, or the other employees we heard from, might not represent the true psyche of the company.
