RE: Yes I have read it. And it makes little sense. He made a mistake and admits it. You don't think he should say that.

Did his announcement include, "With that being said..."

why should he face consequences for having to layoff people

Should he not be responsible for serious strategic errors?

By responsible, you are meaning being fired? Outside of that, there is not much

If he's accepting full responsibility, wouldn't that imply consequences?

Are all consequences made public?

Because his company did so poorly that they lost 12,000 jobs.

"full". Feel free to name a consequence equal to the term "full".

So what is the consequence for over hiring? The market has hammered his compensation.

I assume he/his company is losing a lot of money, I'm sure confidence in him has

It’s not the CEO’s main focus to ensure everyone keeps their job. Where are you getting that?

You misunderstand. I'm fine with a CEO doing their job, but their job isn't to

What is full responsibility for decisions that lead to layoffs? What should it look like?

Do people not know how companies work? Seems like a lot of populist and anti-capitalism thought has been creeping

It's the statement. These CEO statements are stupid and deserve ridicule.

So are you saying it wasn't his decision to hire too many people?

You made a whole lot of assumptions and misrepresentations there.

Yes I have read it. And it makes little sense. He made a mistake and admits it. You don't think he should say that.

IF the CEO felt compelled to say anything at all, something along the lines of

And as was stated, leave out "I take full responsibility." It means nothing and rings hollow.

Saying you take full responsibility & taking full responsibility aren't the same

Nobody cares he wasn't punished. The fake contrition rubs people the wrong way.
