" The decision today is more painful for the Birds leaving than it will be for me and I won't pretend I understand what they will go through. I alone made the mistakes leading up to this and I should have seen it coming earlier"
I just don't read this as making it about himself. I also don't understand how you could write one of these without having a "I fucked up and feel really bad about it" sections. He should just announce the layoffs with no context about how the company got here under his leadership?
The original comment on this tree has much more "about me" language directly quoted. His legacy, he would sacrifice anything, scar on his soul, etc. I agree though you can't just say nothing, you have to take ownership and express empathy.
