but who takes responsiblility for hiring those 'bad' people in the first place.. I am not saying you should't get rid of them, but the issue makes me think of that kind of people, who for some reason always think that it is someone other than themselves who must adjust and adapt.

Those who overhired should have been fired, I agree. It's incredible (or not) that the CEOs weren't eliminated.

The people who hired them may be long gone by now.

Can't speak for every company, but most companies I've worked for with detailed hiring practices would evaluate the long-term outcomes of people that hiring managers chose.

If someone hired a lot of people who had to be laid off later, they would get more supervision and review of future hires.
