Good for her personally, but...
one of her first moves (despite her talk of bringing jobs to Americans) was buying a $5.8 billion dollar IT and outsourcing company.

With that purchase, Xerox is now in the business of helping companies fire American workers and replace them with cheaper alternatives overseas.

While the decisions Ms. Burns made after her barrier breaking ascent will surely pad her bank account, they may cost her in the more intangible bottom line of her soul.
