Well, yeah, kinda-sorta. Sure, the buck stops at the top. On the other hand why can people start picketing over real or perceived social justice issues at the workplace, but can't speak up if they see that the company/brand/project is going downhill? Or did they not see? Then they share the responsibility. They were hired to make value, not to destroy.

Or is it only a team when it comes to success, when it's about failure, it's just pointing finger at one specific person?

Why should workers take the severe risks that come with industrial action in order to change the direction of a company that they don’t own and may make them redundant the next day?

On the other hand, it makes perfect sense to strike over pay/conditions or in solidarity with workers elsewhere.
