Im not a republican or even a Whitman fan. But that article was so much hyperbole I could not read beyond page 2. eBay revenue in 2000 was $431.4 million; revenue in 2007 when Whitman left was $7.672 billion.<p>Seems to me like she did a great job at ebay.
It's as if there's a concerted effort to post these hit pieces against Whitman on HN. Yesterday it was how she destroyed HP's culture, today it's 'failing her way to the top at eBay'. What's on for tomorrow? Raping puppies? Grinding up newborns to make baby oil? Drinking the blood of young girls so she can maintain her youth?
