Actually, this is good that Vivian's taking accountability of what her underling said.

As in the Navy, the captain of the ship takes full accountability of those subordinates who screw up. If it's bad, like in the Ron Schiller example, the person at the top has to go too.

Rid the world of vermin. And when it's rotten at the top, you have to lance that boil up there too.

(Mixed a lot of metaphors, but me don't care. I'm a fervent convert to NPR and "All Things Considered".)
