"As the CEO responsible for the asinine decisions that got us here, I am stepping down immediately, without severance."


I feel like this would just select for business leaders that take zero risk.


I don’t think I’ve heard of a single tech CEO resigning for massively fucking up. They only “take responsibility” to the extent of saying those magic words.


Well there's the several billion of severance expense. I mean do we want to hang someone every time there are layoffs?


Not to forget. "I am also returning all of my pay to company."
