CEO Dumpster Dives and Gets Canned
Meet Mark Hurd, the CEO of the powerful irrelevant HP Corp., a company known for making computers with shitty Windows software and personal digital assistance devices that not a single person owns. He’s 53 years old and married. He rose to the top and ran a multi-billion dollar global corporation with only a bachelor’s degree.
See: average old dude. With confidence.
Like any leader of men, I’m sure Mr. Hurd believed that women should just fall in his lap. After all, he made over $50 milli in the past 2 years. That’s a lot of Gucci bags, ladies. And I’m sure he has tons of travel stories from 17-star hotels that heads of state don’t even know about. Serious scratch and serious power. It had to make some ginas tingle. If anything, he should be pulling girls 20 years his junior (read: early thirties), if not the 20-something models that the Dos Equis guy gets. Hell, it’s why I went to college in the first place.
I suggest we pass on his wife. I’m sure he married a nice girl early on in his career. She doubtless had his back, through all the movings, failings, and affairs. Plus I can’t find a pic of her anywhere. So let’s move on to the girl at the heart of his scandal. Prepare yourselves for the face that cost a high-paying job.
Now throw up on your keyboard.
I’m not sure about what happened, but I do know that at HP, there was an internal investigation. This broad claimed sexual harassment. Who knows what happened, but it isn’t hard to believe that Mr. Hurd didn’t play his cards right. I mean, how many work-aholics have game? If you think he has any game at all, take another look at the pic of this broad. Oh yeah, she’s 50 years old.
Shame on you Mr. Hurd. If there’s a girl at the center of a scandal, shes gotta be attractive. I mean, men have to say “well, I understand, she was gorgeous.” Women have to think ‘I wish I was that girl.’ There’s none of that happening here.
I know you will recover, and start making millis again. But go find some younger, prettier snatch to holla at. A 50-year-old is for sex-starved 18-year-old boys. And if you can’t pick them up, spend some of that cash on some gorgeous escorts. You only live once. So live proper.
From what I gather, she claimed sexual harassment, and the company found evidence that they were having an affair (on HP’s tab, of course) but no harassment. Still an epic Fail on both parties involved, he could have done MUCH better, and her harassment claim (according to the investigators) was weak.
Workaholics have zero game. That being said, would you rather be a millionaire with zero game, or an avg. dude with super-alpha game?
ugh. 50 years old. at least Tiger got some porn star style ramming on the ledger before it cost him everything/his golf game/millions of dollars.
and i had this discussion last night with 2 guy friends and a girl who was on a date with my roommate.
money vs game, which would you rather have?
the chick affirmed that money for guys with tight game is completely irrelevant.
Umm…. I guess she actually looks alright for 50.
“Workaholics have zero game. That being said, would you rather be a millionaire with zero game, or an avg. dude with super-alpha game?”
I’m shooting for being a millionaire with super-alpha game. Give me 10 years or so… I think I can get there.
That being said, being a millionaire is’nt really shit. Your assets minus your liabilities = $1 million in net worth just means you could have acquired some solid assets. You can easily be a “millionaire” and still feel broke.
$1 million ain’t shit no more. I think Yahoo had an article a couple years ago about the “magic number” for actually feeling wealthy is $23 million.
Good luck with that Willie. It takes alot of time to become a wealthy A-class businessman. I doubt there’s enough time to manage a company and game women. But then again, you could bust your ass for 12 hours during the day, and game a chick for a solid hour and bring her home to bang. She’ll do it if you’re still dressed up nicely in your suit. Why? Because chicks can’t afford not to.
I’d bang
Apparently she’s also has a history of doing soft core porn (10 years ago). But for real, this dude has shown retarded judgment. If he wants tail on the side, pay cash and stay local. Don’t bring some expired tail with you, and most definitely do not expense her ass on the company dime. That’s fraud.
Dammit rookie, you gave me yet another reason to not take my final year of college seriously.
More partying and drinking and womanizing for me this year!
Nice investigative piece. I had not seen a picture of her before. I am interested to see her soft core work. This essay reminds me of Roissy’s Mark Zuckerberg piece — pathetic rich men. Meanwhile, Yad is making out with a cute Russian girl after talking to her for ten minutes.
Actually for 50 she’s not too bad. But then she is closer to my age.
But in any case there’s a rule in our politically perfect workaday world.
“Don’t dip your pen in the company ink.”
In my first job in Silicon Valley back in 1977 I had sex with the VP of Engineering’s secretary (aka “The Ice Princess”) and my boss (a woman around my age) all in the first year of employment. Back then you could get away with that sort of behavior. These days, you can’t. You are always at risk.
So even if you are the CEO of a large company you can go down and hard.
Keep your hunting outside of work. There are plenty of girls out there.

Actually you kind of need both. For me to be supergame dude all over the world. I have developed contacts (bros) and then am already pre socially proofed no matter where I go in world. I got a place to hang out and chill while also getting hooked up with all the bitches they know lol
But yea the millionaire thing alone is bullshit because you can spend a mil like it was water. But key is to know what to do with a couple hundred k so that with game you live like a billionaire. he he he
To get mass bitches you got to travel. There are only so many good looking hos in one area. But really you want to be superalpha just mack some bitches that have the huge friend networks. You get them and then you have them bringing their friends over. When you get to point where you don’t give a fuck. You just tell em you want their friends too. They will start bringing bitches as offerings like a cat brings mice.
Your right though I have a hard time believing that ceo’s living pimp life. They more than likely are but yea I mean managing a billion dollar company is definetly going to require some time and chunks of your mind.
I enjoyed the fuck out of spending 10k in two weeks when I used to do it though. I mean it ain’t all about the pussy. It is also about comfortability while getting the pussy.
It is about making statements. Fucking having people remember you for life and making some good fucking movies and enjoying the best life has to offer.
When I get to level I want to be at it will be ludicrous. Its already been ludicrus.
You got to get to point where you can have all the time in world and the money to be able to spend it how you want to an extent.
Might mean taking break from gaming hos and taking some time to game life.
As a social matter, from what we know, it’s outrageous that HP fired him for this. She wasn’t even an employee. Just a one time private contractor that he hired for something. What crap.
The sexual harrassment laws and ridiculous corporate overreaction to them need to change. Well HP has long considered itself to be a “highly progressive” company. Which is why they hired the poor judgment Carly Fiorina as CEO a number of years back. Then fired her for poor performance.
