Some people don’t like to take responsibility for their own problems
-Uber CEO
If he lived by that motto he’d acknowledge and accept that his business practices, up to and including recruiting, have had a highly negative impact on the people he employs.
The fact that “he’ll be fine”, as you said, is precisely the problem. He’ll deal with media fallout from negative publicity but, again, he’ll be fine.
Because he’s got cushion to absorb the blow.
The driver he’s arguing with? No such cushion or, at least, not nearly as thick of a cushion as the CEO.
The CEO will be fine because he’s not the ground level grunt having to serve as the first wave cannon fodder due to his own leadership.
If he, as HE says, took responsibility for HIS actions, he’d change the practices of his company or, bare minimum, hear his employ out and adopt a compassionate, understanding tact in response instead of doubling down and blaming everything on the employee.
But he didn’t do that, did he?
He passed the buck.
“I went bankrupt because of you” isn’t the best look but how inaccurate is that statement? Who knows.
You don’t blame the CEO for responding negatively to negative criticism of the way his policies negatively impact his employees, DO blame the employee and then above ask who is giving the CEO a pass. 100% of your criticism is aimed at the employee and none of it is aimed at the CEO.
