That's a meaningless statement. They never face any consequences. A CEO taking responsibility for layoffs should add their name to the list too.
- ok_dad 4y agoNo shit, this guy took ~$250mm in stock in each of the last few years from what I can find, and even if that is worth half of what it was before this year he could give each outgoing employee about $10k of that stock (to sell maybe) to make their lives easier. Instead he gave them a few words written by some PR manager. Taking responsibility must mean something different to a CEO than it does to me, a common dude.

To be fair, I think the package they are actually offering is way, way more valuable than 10k: "We’ll also offer a severance package starting at 16 weeks salary plus two weeks for every additional year at Google, and accelerate at least 16 weeks of GSU vesting." Plus healthcare, 2022 bonuses being paid out, and some other items on there.
