Why do you say this? What gives you the idea that they will face some form of workload pressure because of this?

Oh, I'd be very surprised if any actual personal responsibility found its way to them. But they're gonna have to look super busy and worried for the press for a while, find somebody else to pin the blame on, call friends in government to 'expedite' any investigations and reassure their shareholders. That's gonna cost them a lot of time they could have spent on nicer things such as working on their handicap, doing coke in the coutry club's bathroom or firing a couple of hundred workers.

Other than that I totally agree with you.
