> It sounds like people want executives to get some kind of punishment or pain as a consequence of laying people off

Um... yeah. Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I want.

I used to work at a Dairy Queen. One dude there had been working there for a couple years. Unfortunately, one shift his drawer came up a dollar short. Our cutoff was 5 cents - a nickel - over or under. He was immediately terminated, of course.

He cost the company one dollar. A Dairy Queen cashier making minimum wage is held to a higher standard of accountability.
