So, Mr Hurd...
"... worked to extract costs from the EDS services biz"
Yeah, by transitioning staff into a job code lower than their EDS one so that they are technically overpaid and will never get another pay rise. And then they leave. That saves lots of money.
And by not paying bills "contracted prior to EDS integration". To the extent that HP then had to send an all-staff email reminding everybody that "there are some important steps we all need to take to ensure on-time supplier payment, and avoid unacceptable damage to HP's standing in the market place". Yeah, right. Like "we all" didn't want to pay our bloody bills.
"You all" is gonna have to learn the hard way... Hurd way, perhaps. "Me all" left and in doing so saved HP some money... in the short term...
