What would make it better in your eyes? A year's severance? 2 years?

It's not about the severance.

It's about the empty platitudes they and all people like them spew. "they take responsibility" what does that even mean? It's meaningless.

Are they taking a paycut themselves? Letting themselves go instead of their employes? Cutting down on bonuses to keep their people employed?

They have to live with it and feel like shit and still run THEIR business. You make a mistake, you don't fire yourself and give up everything you work for, you do the best you can and move on. Don't like how they operate? Build your own business and hire thousands of people and then when you make a mistake fire yourself instead.

Why is taking responsibility the same as taking a punishment in your eyes?

because responsibility without consequences is pointless?

Perhaps if you’re raising a child.

> "they take responsibility" what does that even mean? It's meaningless.

It means they're not blaming anyone else for this. The opposite of taking responsibility is assigning blame. They aren't assigning blame, they're taking responsibility.

What does severance have to do with it?

I was talking about the alleged 'responsibility' by the billionaire owners. Yet said responsibility doesn't lead to job loss or anything. It's empty words.
