> he clearly assigns blame to himself I found the amount he said "it was all my fault" over and over again to make the whole thing sound insincere, but I guess there's no pleasing everyone. I've only fired people before, never laid people off, but where I'm from the process is long and drawn out, and you have many many meetings that need to focus on a person's failings. Being able to say "it's not you, it's me", and sending someone on their way with generous severance sounds like a bucket load more fun than having to document - in excruciating detail and face to face - why someone you like as a person is incompetent and needs to go.
