I was one of those director people who had to give the bad news once. The big boss chickened out of firing everyone, except his brother. So I got left with the task of letting go of the guy with the pregnant wife, as well as the whole rest of the team. In addition, he didn't call to apologize to any of the investors (he'd blown up a hedge fund), he had our investor relations guy go that. Some of those investors literally said "ok I'm gonna lose my job when I tell my boss about this". So yeah, we need a name for that kind of abdication.
