That’s the entire point of a CEO: to be a well-paid martyr to blame when bad things happen. It’s the company to blame; putting the CEO specifically on blast plays into the narrative that things will be better if they are replaced.

Once a company gets this big it’s simply a horde of independent maggots writhing in the pile. No true sense of direction, just a deep-rooted desire for growth at all costs. No one is sure what’s happening with other parts of the company, because that’s outside of their scope. All they know is that for their own sake they must continue growing the company.
