There are two ways to get something right:

1) The first time

2) Later than that

They did the second. It’s sucks that it isn’t the first, and it sucks that they didn’t pick the right horse during the race up until this point. But they changed their mind, openly and in plainly spoken terms.

“Worked” doesn’t need a qualifier here. Their failure to implement #1 correctly, and their pivot to implement #2, will help them serve as a lesson to others.

No, I disagree. What they have done is literally the minimum amount of effort.

The right thing to do is not to "continue to do what we're doing, offering a passive promise to not get more money."

What is the right thing to do?
Resign and cancel the contract.
Also:

1. Insufficiently.

2. Sufficiently.

The question is on this aspect.
