DoorDash Lays of 1250 Employees

If the CEO says they'll resign, people will say they're taking the easy way out, and anyway, it's no skin off their back because golden parachute (if they were a good negotiator when they were hired) or anyway their salary was probably high, etc.

It's an unwinnable game in the court of public opinion, so why do it? Because it signals to the underlings that the CEO is not expecting resignations from them.

Nothing prevents the CEO from resigning and gifting the golden parachute back to the company. You know, if they want to "take responsibility."

Sure, but then there's the "but they already got paid a bazillion dollars"
