I wonder how eBay's PR department viewed the opening moments of Tuesday night's presidential debate?
On the one hand, when asked to name a potential replacement to Henry Poulson, Republican senator John McCain named Meg Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay. Good choice, solid leader, helped pioneer a technology icon.
"I like Meg Whitman. She knows what it's like to be out there in the marketplace," McCain said. "She knows how to create jobs."
Cue The Daily Show-style cut to this story, where eBay announced 10,000 1,000 layoffs on Monday under the leadership of new CEO John Donahoe. Erk.
