Exactly this. My whole life I've been told that executives deserve their massive compensation because of all the high risk decisions they make. But if they ever get called out they take no responsibility. It's infuriating!
Executive: 'my manager said so'
Manager: 'my director said so'
Director: 'my VP said so'
VP: 'the CEO said so'
CEO: 'tye management board said so'
Management board: 'it was a collective decision, so no one is to blame'
Corporate unaccountability at its finest.
Generally each step morphs slightly:
Oh, you're missing the most important part of the meta:
CEO: We just did that the consulting company told us
Consulting company: We just make recommendations
So what if, and hear me out on this one, we throw ALL of them in jail, then? If you did it, you're guilty.
Do that 5 times and all of the sudden watch all corporations start behaving themselves like there is no tomorrow
