Yes, this. Once someone realizes that responsibility & accountability come with little to no consequences they become pretty free with the former. I don’t know if it’s a trend but I’ve noticed it a lot more over the last several years

This is how I felt when I read Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's self-centered layoff letter opening: "Today I am making the difficult decision to reduce the size of our team by about 18%, to ensure we stay healthy during this economic downturn. I want to walk you through why I am making this decision below, but first I want to start by taking accountability for how we got here. I am the CEO, and the buck stops with me." https://blog.coinbase.com/a-message-from-coinbase-ceo-and-cofounder-brian-armstrong-578d76eedb12 https://blog.coinbase.com/a-message-from-coinbase-ceo-and-co...
