Executive: 'my manager said so'

Manager: 'my director said so'

Director: 'my VP said so'

VP: 'the CEO said so'

CEO: 'tye management board said so'

Management board: 'it was a collective decision, so no one is to blame'

Corporate unaccountability at its finest.

Generally each step morphs slightly:

my boss told me to!
I told them to do it safely! (The thing that can't be done safely)
I told them to solve the problem! (The problem caused by corporate policy)
I told them to meet the quarterly goals! (Goals that are only possible by breaking laws and or official policy)
I set the competitive strategy! I have a fiduciary duty to shareholders! (I'm morally justified in only prioritizing profits)
.... profit

Oh, you're missing the most important part of the meta:

CEO: We just did that the consulting company told us

Consulting company: We just make recommendations

So what if, and hear me out on this one, we throw ALL of them in jail, then? If you did it, you're guilty.

Do that 5 times and all of the sudden watch all corporations start behaving themselves like there is no tomorrow
