Employees can resign, users and customers can go elsewhere.

How does this relate to the mistake of vastly overhiring?

How does it relate to him being accountable? As the user up thread stated he is literally not accountable because he answers to no one

That was me.

Zuck said he wanted to take accountability for overhiring and then having to do layoffs. So the question is, what does the theoretical possibility of employees resigning or users leaving have to do with accountability for overhiring and layoffs?

It has nothing to do with accountability. The reason that everyone has a visceral response to him saying he accountable is because we know it is not true

Ah, no. I’m in agreement that he is not being accountable. I am perhaps taking it farther in arguing that he is incapable of being accountable given how meta is structured
