That's what I'm worried about and that's why I'm calling BS on this. The executive uses big words like "responsibility", I'd like to know what concrete measures are then hidden behind it.

Didn't Microsoft execs put on a lavish party in the eve of announcing firing thousands without notice?

Yes, at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, no less.

Corporations talk only BS for the past 10-15 years, words have no longer a meaning. Failures are usually rewarded, not punished, failing upwards is the norm in many places. Expectations of real responsibility, actions, etc are for people from other times, that are old or retired.
