OK. The takeaway from this:

As a CEO, you can screw up a company -- as a result, the employees and shareholders. However, the CEO's future must be secured.

Not bad.

There aren't daily HN threads with hundreds of people bashing the employees. The employees aren't walking into every job interview as "the person that killed Yahoo."

We like to hold CEOs accountable for failures (i.e. they may never work again). Nobody who can help it is going to take that gig unless they know they're set for life in case of failure.
