That's a really positive attitude, to not fixate on retribution -- kudos to you! I'd like to point out that there are other possible outcomes, like (say) the CEO and entire C-suite cutting their salary to $1 for a year (it's not like this will render any of them homeless). IMHO, that would actually constitute "taking full responsibility", as opposed to parroting words that don't connect to the reality of the situation.

>like (say) the CEO and entire C-suite cutting their salary to $1 for a year What's the point of being CEO then? Have the stress of running a company while working for free? Who would ever want to do that?

  >What's the point of being CEO then? I don't know. As you said, it's a waste of energy to wonder about other people and their endeavors. Better to focus on me. And I need the money. CEOs don't. Feels odd to go from "don't spend your energy thinking about other rich people" and then go "but rich people 'want' money" when someone makes a suggestion. >Have the stress of running a company while working for free? Who would ever want to do that? Again, don't know. But I suspect that most people at a CEO level are not just in it for money. There's easier, less stressful ways for millionaire to accrue money.

    >I don't know. [...] And I need the money. CEOs don't. That's some silly delulu shit right there. Imma end this conversation with you right here since you're not arguing in good faith as you've already made up your mind, so it's a waste of my energy and time to continue this any further.

      I'm just passing by, but to me your comments were way less productive and interesting in this whole thread.

        So just like your comment? What did you expect productive about this whole conversation? Did you expect to see the magic formula/solution to people getting laid off from well paying tech companies and somehow I got in the way of that? We're all just chatting here speaking our minds which has the real world practival equivalent of shouting into the void. There's no real value to be had here.
