> If the bar for asking a CEO to quit is "you did not correctly predict the future" then we're going to have to ask most CEOs to quit at some point. And most employees for that matter.

I think level of responsibility for CEO should be different compared to regular employees. They get paid fuck you money and never need to work again afterwards.

There was a thread about google layoffs recently where people discussed L9s being laid off and how such people are expected to "redefine the industry" every year and walk on water in general. Yet, somehow the responsibility that seems to increase exponentially with level goes to almost junior level "oopsie couldn't predict what would happen after covid when free money stop flowing, no biggie I guess, let's just fire all these people we have hired during previous two years" for execs. It seems that the only way for them to get fired is if one of employees they sexually harassed talks and even then they get golden parachute.
