A basic lesson that bad managers never get?
We all have to make tough choices sometimes, but the people working under you will forever remember if your way of coping with that burden is to make crude jokes at the expense of the people your tough choices impact. They'll know you'd do it to them too.

he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
