Many people observe reality, where the workers end up being the ones held accountable for the CEO's decisions, not the CEO.

Workers are not legally or financially accountable for any of that. That is the whole point of a "job". I think you are confused.

When the worker loses their jobs over bad executive decisions, they sure feel like they were pretty harshly financially penalized for those decisions.

Are you confusing CEOs with founders, shareholders, etc.? Chief Executive Officer is, in fact, a "job."

Many people observe a limited subset of reality. It's highly visible when a company hits a crisis and people lose their jobs; it's much more common, but much less visible, for a CEO to get an after-hours call about a brewing problem which they must immediately work to smooth over.

It’s amazing how many people on this website harp on about nobody noticing their hard work, nobody caring unless the server is down, etc, and not being able to conceive of the remote chance of this same phenomenon applying to other roles in an organisation.

I'm not quite sure why you ask that? I'm not arguing that these two very different examples are the same, I'm explaining more concretely what it means to say that a CEO's job is to "to be responsible to the business".

		And you don't see being laid off due to the business's failure as being "responsible to the business"?
