Ya know.... Founders and CEO's are responsible every day. They created the business for people to have jobs, they have to deal with it when the business cannot support the jobs. When things in the macro economy change, sometimes the business can't operate at the same level it was before.

People like to <poop> on CEO's & leaders in good times, but employees often forget that while the employee can just go get another job, the leaders have to keep hundreds, thousands, of people employed while also retaining customers and dealing with investors. They have to deal with keeping those hundreds/thousands employed every...single... day.
