It's easy to take responsibility when all you have to do is say "I'm taking responsibility". Or, in his case, "i'm taking responsibility".

He's also giving out massive severance packages

Is four and a half month's pay considered massive in the US? What do you normally get when you're made redundant?

HDThoreaun2mo ago

Id say 2 months is about normal for non tech maybe 3.5 at solid companies. This also adds a week per year at the company so plenty of people will be getting 5 months+ and $5k on top of that

This site has stats. According to it, 20 weeks is way above average.

Yes, it is considered generous here. I have been laid off or taken a voluntary severance 3 times and never got anywhere near 5 months.
