What is really infuriating is when the leaders of these companies "claim full responsibility." Really? I don't believe you until I see you cleaning out your desk with 1000s you made clean out theirs. After all, hiring 1000s of workers to help with a surge in demand that never materializes sounds to me like a gross management oversight at best or complete fiscal incompetence at worst.

Responsibility brings consequences. Claims bring horse manure.
