When Power Consolidates and Responsibility Disappears

The leadership that has been running the company to the ground for several years has decided the failures aren’t due to their own choices — not the years spent pulling engineers away from innovation to chase a commodity PC chip, not the fixation on edge AI while the entire industry moved toward datacenter AI, and not the pattern of entering mature markets long after everyone else.

They never prioritize, never take responsibility, and always look for someone beneath them to blame.

Now they’ve concluded that the real problem is the workforce. Their “solution” is to push out hardworking people and replace them with new hires from the industry, buying themselves another 3–4 years of insulation while nothing fundamentally changes. Because the core issue is them.

And this is the only company where one individual simultaneously controls the financial decisions, the operational direction, the business strategy, and the sales pipeline — all concentrated in a single seat, right next to the CEO. There is no separation of responsibility, no checks and balances, no accountability. When one person holds every lever, failure has nowhere to go but downward.

By 2029, when shareholders start asking why the promises remain unfulfilled, they’ll either quietly exit or invent another cycle of excuses.

Meanwhile, countless careers and families will be disrupted — while the same leadership circle continues to thrive, untouched by the consequences they created.
