Carly Fiorina: Economy is suffering because workers are ‘watching porn all day long’

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

How did this woman ever get a CEO position? Easy to understand why she was a failure however with this mindset.

Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who is expected to announce a campaign for president, said over the weekend that she could improve the economy by cutting federal worker pay because they were “watching porn all day long.”

In a Sunday interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace, Fiorina said that there was a “higher than 90 percent” chance that she would become a Republican presidential candidate.

The former HP CEO explained that she would make a formidable candidate “because I understand technology: a transformational tool, because I understand bureaucracies, how they work and how you need to change them. And our government is a huge bureaucracy.”

1. well not all day - continued proof that you have to be stupid to be a repug

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

2. Does she think that Federal workers do things their private counterparts don't?

Hint. If 'federal workers are watching porn all day', then so are private sector workers. And in either case, your IT people can be used to prevent much (most?) of that sort of behaviour, if your workers aren't using personal tablets or phones to do it.

[Johonny]

16. But federal workers DON'T watch porn all day. She doesn't know technology at all.

Most federal places have computer systems where you don't have actual control of your computer. Security can watch everything you do without you knowing it. The number one security violation IS WATCHING PORN. You will get one warning and the next time you will get fired. Of the federal places I've worked no one watches porn at work and the computer system is rather draconic in preventing that. Why? Well, those sites are the number one source for hackers to download stuff on your computer. As far as I know many states also have rather draconic rules for porn watching at work. Once again she claims to be an expert but knows nothing about modern computer security at many government installations.

[Savannahmann]

24. Um, yeah, many do.

Many of them do, and with Government Service Protections, it's hard to fire them.

Still employed, although suspended, and still collecting about $120,000 a year.

Remember the Deepwater Horizon disaster? Hard to prevent it if the staff is busy taking Meth and watching porn. At least that was the conclusion of the Inspector General's report.

So shall we continue?

http://theweek.com/speedreads/448914/government-employees-say-theyre-only-watching-porn-work-because-theyre-bored

I think the proverbial dead horse is sufficiently beaten now don't you?

[Major Nikon]

45. There are over 2.5 million federal civilian employees

Freedom of Information Act rules pretty much insure that those employees who behave badly and get caught are fair game for the media.

So the question becomes how many is "many"? 1%, .001%, .0001%? Whatever the number is, there's a good chance it's far lower than private industry.

[tabasco]

47. Three links prove that federal workers watch porn all day?

Those are some brilliant critical thinking skills you have.

[Cleita]

3. What a stupid thing to say. Is she watching porn all day and assuming

others do as well?

[still_one]

4. She almost destroyed HP. The compaq deal she made wasn't for the good of the company, but good for

her pocket book.

Politically she is a wacko. She is extremely anti-abortion and deregulation

There is a reason California voted her down. She is a radical right winger in sheep clothing

Just her comment about public workers in the OP gives you some idea about her thinking process


She fits in with the republicans today perfectly

[TDale313]

13. Did someone mention Carly Fiorina and sheep?

&sns=em



Yeah, she's a whack job. California wants nothing to do with her.

[still_one]

34. Good one

[TDale313]

35. Yeah, had to one of the weirdest ads ever.

She actually makes Tom Campbell seem like a relatively reasonable option, which I assume was not her intent.

[still_one]

36. Tom Campbell was one of the last sane republicans

[47of74]

40. She almost destroyed HP because she was (and still is) stupid all day long.

[Cooley Hurd]

5. She's another Grifter-Gingrich...

Only running to make $$$, since she cannot be taken seriously with dumb "pearls" like this falling from her lips...

[Adrahil]

48. She needs a bump to her speaking fees.

Get her name in the news, say some red-meat teahadist shit, and double the fees. Cha-Ching. She doesn't believe she can, or event WANTS to get the nomination. They've all seen how Sarah Palin manages to bilk the stupids and make a mint by pretending to consider running and saying just enough outrageous shit to keep her name in the headlines.

[Coventina]

6. "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

How is cutting their salary going to get them to stop watching porn?

If anything, it would encourage me to watch MORE porn.

(If I watched porn at work, which I most certainly do NOT!!!)

I mean seriously, a CEO's solution to workers "watching porn all day" is to cut their pay?!?!?

As the OP said, no wonder she washed out of the business world.

[smirkymonkey]

14. Seriously! God she's an idiot!

A dangerous idiot. And what about the women, are they watching porn all day too?

I don't know why more people can't see how dangerous and extreme the right wing has become. This country is really going down the tube.

[elehhhhna]

30. what women? carlyle is the only ladywoman in biz,

Right? She seems to think so.

[Johonny]

7. The workers of HP wished that's all she did while CEO

instead of the stuff she did to ruin the company...

[CentralMass]

8. Now there is a reason to vote democratic.

[PoliticAverse]

9. Ridiculous, it isn't allllllllll day. n/t

[lumberjack_jeff]

10. She got to be CEO by externalizing accountability to all the guys who work for her.

She understands bureaucracies because she can manipulate them to her advantage.

[Fred Sanders]

11. Y'all still want to spend the next 2 years divided and in-fighting about the next nominee? Or, united, fighting THIS?

[Vinca]

12. Exactly. Priorities people.

[Fred Sanders]

20. Priorities. Dustbin of history for the Christofascists first, continue Obama's legacy later.

Priorities and unity in these trying times of the last dying death rattles of the extremist and cultist right wing...then on to 16 more years of building on Obama's laid foundation.

[House of Roberts]

15. Raw Story mislead a bit with this headline.

The QUOTE is: "You can watch porn all day long, and get paid exactly the same way as somebody who's trying to do their job."

I actually watched the interview when it aired, so I knew it wasn't quite what Raw Story claims. I have no problem with getting government workers to do their jobs, but that's a problem no matter who is president.

[Fred Sanders]

23. Apples to apples...her quoted comment is no better....maybe worse!

[RKP5637]

17. So many F'en fools in corporations. A failed CEO, I can see why. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. I'm sure folks do non job related stuff on their work computers from time to time...

But you would have to be a horse's ass to risk getting busted watching porn on your boss' dime...

[ND-Dem]

19. well, she's screwing workers all day long, so who's the bigger pig?

[hunter]

21. Carly Fiorina worked 60+ hours a week screwing her bosses, coworkers, and employees.

And not in the fun way.

The world might be a much better place today if she'd spent this time watching porn.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

25. I don't watch porn at work. Can I have a raise now? nt

[Paladin]

26. Give that lady a front seat in the GOP Clown Car.

She's going to be a good fit with the rest of the dimwits the Repubs are about to put on display.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

27. This is how she became a powerful CEO

can anyone tell what the primary qualification is that she possesses?


as well as she was born to some level of wealth and power and is

_ _ _ _ _

at least in appearance anyway

[gwheezie]

28. I'd be happy to be able to pee

My job just gets busier. They restructured staffing ratios so we were told if we are short one nurse we have to "absorb" it. Sounds kinda bad. I'd hate to be absorbed

[elehhhhna]

29. fuck her already

Failure is her fucking legacy

[47of74]

44. No thank you.

My reproductive systems just tried to detach at the mere thought of that.

[tularetom]

31. Somebody has to be making all this porn that they are watching

So that part of the economy must be thriving.

I guess we'd really be in deep shit if the people makin porn started watching it instead.

Watch more porn - save jobs.

[Rex]

32. That is some sad projection ex-CEO lady is pushing.

Seriously, I don't care if she was watching porn all day long at work and that is now why she is the former CEO. TMI.

[Orrex]

33. Sounds like I'm in the wrong line of work.

Where does one find a "watch porn" job, anyway?

[47of74]

37. Bullshit, Ms. Fiorina

Now go the fuck back to whatever rock you slithered out from under and kindly slither back underneath it.

[Lil Missy]

38. She got "economy" mixed up with "republicon party".

She meant to say republicon party is suffering because members are watching porn all day long

[KamaAina]

39. Has anyone ever seen her and Sarah Palin in the same place at the same time?

[dissentient]

41. Very traditional republican playbook -- workers are lazy and screwing around on the job all day long

[gratuitous]

42. How strange is that?

The entirety of my working life, from 1980 on, workers have been putting in more hours, working more efficiently and productively, and private sector revenues have gone steadily up, thanks to the Wealth that Labor has been creating. Strange, though, that worker pay has remained practically stagnant adjusted for inflation during that entire time.

Where has all that Wealth gone if not into the pockets of the workers who created it by the strain of their muscles and the sweat of their brows? By the way, how much money did Carly Fiorina "earn" when she left Hewlett-Packard at the behest of its board? What did she do to earn that tidy little sum, except release the death grip of her greedy little mitts from the controls of the corporation?

[hifiguy]

43. Oh my, the DERP is exceptionally strong in this one.

[AnnieBW]

46. Most Federal agencies block those websites.

My husband works cybersecurity for a Federal agency. They block any kind of pornographic websites. In fact, when someone was watching porn, he had to do a huge investigation into the guy who eventually got fired.

This from the bitch that personally ruined HP.
