You made a whole lot of assumptions and misrepresentations there.

Maybe re-read my post.

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

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

He'll keep every dime of his bonus though.

So?

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?

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

Corn Pop

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?

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

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

Baron

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.

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

Cry me a river. When Patrick Mahomes throws 4 interceptions should the Chiefs cut him?

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

If termination is the consequence for over hiring then companies will just

It's just that his decisions had dire consequences for thousands, & none for him

The alternative is not hiring those people and over working those already
