Here's what the announcer in the Democratic incumbent's ad says: "As CEO of HP, Carly Fiorina laid off 30,000 workers. Fiorina shipped jobs to China.
"And while Californians lost their jobs, Fiorina tripled her salary, bought a million-dollar yacht and five corporate jets ... Carly Fiorina. Outsourcing jobs. Out for herself."

Damn! That is one hell of a lot of lost jobs!

on a visitor's pass. HP was a national treasure, and she destroyed that.

The irony being she screwed up HP big time.
New Carly Fiorina 2016 Slogan: "Corporate Profits First, Actual People Dead Last"
WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari): Republican presidential candidate and fired Hewlett-Packard (HP) CEO Carly Fiorina unveiled her campaign's new slogan today. "Corporate Profits First, Actual People Dead Last" beat Carly Fiorina's preferred "There Is No Job That Is America's God-Given Right Anymore," which she actually stated in January 2004. The two slogans went head-to-dead to honor Fiorina's record at HP where she laid-off 30K workers, shipped thousands of jobs overseas to India and China, and stood against any government protection of American workers from foreign competition.
And...
Fiorina added, "So I am in favor of shipping middle class jobs overseas where they will be turned into very low paying positions. Corporations making tons of money is more important than the American worker. Period."
It's satire, but pretty damn close to reality.
