That’s not even a good argument for whatever it is you’re trying to say.

While you may not like the energy behind OPs statements he’s pretty clear: CEOs and executives in general face almost zero consequences for their decisions that affect hundreds or thousands of people

I’m with OP, thy should face real consequences for stupid decisions

If you make bad enough decisions, your customers leave, your company dies, and/or you are fired by the board.

CEOs get fired all the time, and companies die all the time. It's part of life, and so are layoffs.

There's no need for some sort of additional punitive actions to be taken. If you control a company, you have the right to do layoffs, and if you're an employee, you take that risk of being laid off because you prefer it to going out and trying to grow your own company from scratch.

I don't think the investor cares. The investor wants 1 in X shot at beating the majority and is agnostic to failure.
