This pass the buck attitude really pisses me off. You&#x27;re the head of the company, department, whatever, it&#x27;s your gawd damn responsibility if your subordinates do something wrong. If you hired bad people it&#x27;s still your responsibility. If you hired people that hired people it&#x27;s still your responsibility. I don&#x27;t care if you knew or not. You set the tone, you set the impossible deadlines or requirements.
You fostered a culture where someone thought that would be okay to do. Own up!
