I’m not going to lie to you–we had a field day with the whole Mark Hurd, HP/Oracle kerfuffle. If you don’t believe me, take a peak over here. The odd executive sexual harassment/ expense report scandal really hit its stride last fall. Now HP is taking a serious look at exactly what went down. The company has formed a committee of directors to investigate Hurd’s exit, says a court document from January 14th.
Hurd exited the company amongst a sexual harassment suit filed by Intimate Obsession and Body of Influence 2 actress Jodie Fisher–though the company ultimately cited “accounting irregularities” as the reason behind his departure, stating that there were issues with a number of expense reports.
The decision to investigate comes after lawyers for company shareholders called Hurd’s $40 million separation agreement “corporate waster.” The former CEO is now a co-president at Oracle.
