H.P. Said to Have Studied Infiltrating Newsrooms – New York Times.
Although it seems HP never actually did go ahead and plant spies in newsrooms, the fact it was being actively considered just adds to the company’s reputational woes.
The irony here is that HP was always regarded as a highly ethical business, not least of which because this culure emanated from the top via its founders.
Bill Hewlett and David Packard must be turning in their graves.
