> The company was doomed the moment they started hiring at unreasonable pace
History disagrees. And the only reason the company exists in the first place is because of VC money. Don't join a startup if you don't want the risks associated with a startup.
> Who is to blame?
No one, because humans can't predict the future. Why are you so eager to see people punished? It's so easy to be critical when you're not the one actually responsible for building and running a company. This entire thread is an example of "tell me you know nothing about running a business without saying you know nothing about running a business".
I recently had to fire my landscaper, so based on this logic I should probably sell my house so that I can "take responsibility".
