A CEO taking responsibility for firing people always reminds me of Gavin Belson's speech: [VIDEO] Did ever a journalist tried to ask how they took responsibility? Did they faced difficulties in their lives or careers or did they couldn't concentrate on Succession's finale and had to rewind? Maybe taking responsibility actually means they did something very positive for the company within the rules of the game and expect a bonus? Are they referring to the events as a mistake they made or are they saying that they were able to grab the talent pool and didn't miss the opportunity? After all, CEOs and workers have different responsibilities. Hiring and firing for the opportunity and change in conditions is CEOs job and maybe he takes responsibility for properly executing it?

Whenever I see CEO taking "full responsibility" and staying put I am reminded of Gavin: [VIDEO] Full responsibility that does not involve massive shakeup at the top is not full responsibility.
