Corporations often engage in a sort of 'responsibility laundering'

Andrew in HR just does what the policy says, it's unfortunate but rules are rules, and the policy doesn't say this is any exception.

Barbra the CEO who set the policy would have made an exception if it had been brought to her attention, but it wasn't. The policy was set serving the interests of the shareholders.

Charles the shareholder is just an average member of the public and isn't party to any internal firing plans. And in any case, he owns 0.0000002% of facebook - far from a controlling interest.

And like magic, the responsibility has disappeared - vanished into the gap between Andrew and Barbra.

And thats why in UK almost 100 people burned alive in a skyscraper that was built in breach of all fire safety rules. It turns out noone is responsible- not the architect, builders, builder owner and management, or the fire safety inspector.

The only charges brought in relation to this incident, where against people making offensive jokes about it on social media.
