    Surely that means he also took a hefty pay cut to keep on as many people as possible. Wouldn’t that be what accepting accountability looks like?

      We had layoffs last year, and two of the managers opted to quit their jobs rather than fire an additional staff member.

      Sadly their replacements are not as nice.

        My manager just went on vacation the week they laid off his team. Didn’t hear a word from that coward after the fact.

      Accountability: : the quality or state of being accountable
      especially : an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions

      He’s literally saying “this is my fault.” That doesn’t mean he’s willing to suffer the consequences personally. Not defending his decisions, just pointing out that people seem to be misunderstanding what “accountable” means.

        This is usually (expected) followed up with… “well, the fuck are you going to do about it, then” and this fuckface decided to pussy out and fuck over 500 people.

        So I mean, half right, but that’s still a giant red F in my book.
