I think you may have misread the parent. The "responsibility buffer" he was referring to are PMs (Project Managers), who are not senior execs.
Edited : PMs, by nature of their (typically) limited skill-set and solidly middle-managerial roles are highly expendable.
- mattmanser 15y agoJust to note, proper PMs are rarely without a job, they're pretty hard to find. A good PM is paid more than a good developer, usually silly money, because true project management is a pretty large skill-set. What you're describing is the enterprise habit of giving a generic middle manager the PM role and expecting them to have all the skills and then firing them when said project implodes.
