And that's why I don't get how people expect directors/managers to be infallible.
Taking responsibility isn't about walking away from the job, but learning from it and making it right.
Whether that is done well in this case, I don't know, but that wasn't your point. As far as I can tell they got pretty decent severance packages.
It's a layoff. It happens. It's ironically a sign of them being good executives and doing what they need to do to keep their company viable so they can keep the ship running going forward for the remaining sustainable head count.

No, you don't! You'll take responsibility only after stepping down. Do you have any idea that you - and other executives - are playing with people lives? Do you have any clue from where they are going to earn their living once you let them go? People are not machines that you are hiring and firing them on your whim. Clowns!
