The Air Pure now starts at $69,900. I’d steer clear. Fisker did the same thing with its hybrid before the company went out of business.
How much HP’s CEO earned in 2023. Poor Enrique Lores got a 7% pay cut — which still comes to $19.46 million in pay, stocks and perks. HP says his actual take-home was $12,858,597. So, he’s fine.
That’s following 5,000 layoffs in 2022. The internet networking company is doing what a bunch of other tech outfits have done: Laying folks off to work on AI.
