HP said in a new advertising campaign launched on Wednesday that the company should embrace change, and management in a separate letter told investors their interests could differ substantially from those of the founding families -- who unanimously oppose the $22 billion deal.
Packard said that the fruits of past innovation had been shared by the entire company, according to the ``HP Way'', an approach to business that puts a strong emphasis on community.
``By contrast, the current merger plan assumes that layoffs, synergies, economies of scale, purchase of market share, and top-down management can substitute for HP's traditional pattern of sustained innovation by talented employees who trust that their future is aligned with the future of the company,'' he wrote.
Gee, I wonder if they was sober when they composed this missive.
We like change, but not this change, and we never fire anybody, and just because we are rich people doesn't mean we don't have the same interest as the rest of you peons.
