In een lied op de wijs van Bohemian Rhapsody van de vroegere popgroep Queen figureert HP-ceo Carly Fiorina als degene die haar bedrijf om zeep helpt.
Hoewel de pr-afdeling van HP het doet voorkomen of alle personeelsleden, ondanks de aangekondigde ontslagen, achter het beleid van Fiorina staan, duiken ophttp://www.dotcomscoop.com regelmatig betuigingen op van mensen die tegen de voorgenomen fusie met Compaq zijn. Een daarvan is de hieronder weergegeven versie van de hit van Queen. Zeer waarschijnlijk zijn de pennevruchten afkomstig van (anonieme) HP-medewerkers.
Is this the real life
Is this our company?
Stock’s in a deep slide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look at the share price and see
I’m just a poor girl
I need your sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go
Stock was high, now it’s low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn’t really matter to me, to me
Carly, killed the HP Way
With each thing she did or said
Lots of layoffs, now it’s dead
HP once was number one!
But now she’s gone and thrown it all away
Carly,
Oooo-ooo-ooo-oooohhhh,
Didn’t seem to really try
You may not have your job this time tomorrow
We’ll go on, and carry on as if Carly never mattered
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine,
Like our falling bottom line
Goodbye, say the Hewletts – I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Carly, Oooo-ooo-ooo-oooohhhh,
Time to say goodbye
We sometimes wish you’d never left Lucent at all
(INSTRUMENTAL)
I see another failing merger up ahead
Compaq’s dead! Compaq’s dead!
For it takes two to tango!
Who leads evermore?
Quoth the mavens: "Livermore"; – you’ll see!
Fiorina, Fiorina,
Fiorina, Fiorina,
Fiorina, you must go – magnifico!
But I’m just a poor girl and nobody loves me!
She’ just a poor girl; majored in history
Spare all our shares from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go – I don’t want to go
Business is slow – we’ve got to let you go!
Let her go!
No business! We’ve got to let you go!
Let her go! No business! We’ve got to let you go –
I won’t go!
Got to let you go!
I won’t go!
Got to let you go!
I won’t go!
Can’t make me go-oo!
o-ooo-ooohh,
No, no, no, no, No, NO, NO!
Oh Fiorina, Fiorina, Fiorina, you must go!
The shareholders – they would like to have a word with you
With You! WITH YOU!!!
(INSTRUMENTAL)
So you’re taking my jet and my bodyguards, too!
With my hairdresser gone, just what am I to do?
Oh baby – can’t do this to me baby!
Ain’t gonna get out – ain’t gonna get kicked outta here!
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see…
Nothing really matters…
HP never mattered to me…
Anyway the wind blows..
