Take a peek at the expansive 120+ executive staff of Hewlett Packard IPG.

Somebody needs more consumer money to pay for all that salary (cows). So, of course, they would need to milk that skinny cow even harder while making it look prettier with a lipstick. Even has a leash (software) that is too long and cumbersome to manage.

Never mind how anemic these "cows" look, they're light and still functional even when infested with bloated features that often contract virus and bacteria.

They'll keep on flogging these "cows" until it looks like a "horse", but just plain non-functional, stomach-bloated, back-arched, and ... dead.

These exec team probably knows no soul worth saving and should not be considered an asset for your budding garage company, lest they become available on labor market.

I am an old foggity whose dreams comprise of hardy folks that started these businesses out of their own home garage and a pair of ungrounded outlets.

To my garage-aspired brothers, stick with a Brothers and you can do no wrong as I've slowly replaced all my HPs with Brothers over last 2 decades.
