Once again with the latest trend in CEO speak. I doubt he’ll face any negative consequences.

While I'm glad it wasn't me, the severance package might make some laid-off

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

It's commentary on the fake statement of contrition. If these CEO's were truly

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

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.

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