You guys have no idea how things work. Not all employees have equal value.

Google CEO “takes full responsibility” for the bad decisions leading to layoffs

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?

NottherealJWill

1/20/23 9:10am

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

CEO's & corporations can do no wrong. Open borders are a must. The bottom line

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

Ragnar Danneskjold

Are all consequences made public?

SUAVO

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

He'll keep every dime of his bonus though.

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

Not necessarily.

Is stepping down the only way to take full responsibility?

SUAVO

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

Corn Pop

1/20/23 9:31am

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

Baron

1/20/23 9:36am

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

SUAVO

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

CrimWalCoug

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.

Ragnar Danneskjold

1/20/23 9:19am

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

Baron

1/20/23 9:21am

You made a whole lot of assumptions and misrepresentations there.

Ragnar Danneskjold

1/20/23 9:25am

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

Ragnar Danneskjold

1/20/23 10:01am

Which he did. If you read the whole letter, people are throwing a fit about one line

Baron

1/20/23 10:12am

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

Ragnar Danneskjold

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

ochobeeguy

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

Put him in the stocks in the lunchroom. That's true justice.

How did you get that from his post?

The claim he wasn't punished and the implication by you and others that punishment must include
