We all know HP is splitting up. Or as I call it, H is divorcing P. Hewlett Packard, that beloved company that does printers and stuff is deciding that it needs space. Space from it's PC division, who is apparent losing money. That's why companies spilt, right? Because they need more money.
What? HP is not losing money? That's crazy. Why break up a happy home.
Oh, it's just not earning enough. Or in relationship terms, one of them has outgrew the other. Someone's bacon isn't big enough anymore. You have to pull your own weight in the house of HP. "Don't make enough? Get out! I can make more money without yours."
Which makes total sense. Only in business does subtraction equals more than what you begin with. H makes a billion dollars, P makes half a billion dollars. H divorces P and suddenly H makes 2 billion dollars. Hmm..
We all heard that HP is being split up. Apparently it doesn't like the part that doesn't make enough money. Does anybody think about the customers in cases like this.? Of course HP has put out press releases to say that nothing it wrong. Which is bull-crap. Because if everything was hunky dory, there wouldn't be any split would they? Happy companies, thinking of their customers don't split up. HP put out full-page ads explaining that the split is for them, the customer. They are doing this to benefit the customer.
That's like telling the kids that mommy and daddy are splitting up because of them.
"Don't worry Billy, we are doing this for you."
The college fund... gone for therapy.
There is nothing good coming out of this for HP's customers. Especially in the short term. Imagine the people who have to explain this split to their customers. They have to smile and punch you at the same time. There is no different than those splitting parents.
"We still love you, Billy. Mommy and Daddy will always love you."
"But why do I have to go, mommy? Will I have two mommys and Daddies?"
"Yes, Billy. Daddy and Uncle Mike will have you on the weekends. You will stay with me and Auntie Jane on school days."
That's whats going to happen right? The H or the P, the company will merge together with another company very much like it.
