Isn't taking the blame part of why CEOs get paid millions of dollars? 226 of them in this case. Pichai signed up for it and is objectively a winner too.

I’ll take some blame for $226m.

What you’ve said is nonsensical. Being the victim of some harsh words forgotten the next day while never having to work another day in your life is not any kind of responsibility.

> What you’ve said is nonsensical.

These are strong words, and you didn't back them up at all.

The comment you're replying to did not mention responsibility at all. Responsibility and blame are different things.

If I were a little less charitable I'd have said your comment was nonsensical.

That would only hold water if they ever actually had to face consequences.

Do well? Get a massive bonus!

Do poorly? Get a massive bonus!

Do incredibly poorly? Leave with a golden parachute (aka massive bonus).
