      Not only is it perfectly legal but the executives would argue that they are bound by their fiduciary duty to their shareholders. Layoffs increase stock price => shareholders make money => shareholders approve bonus for executives.

    Executives, surely the most valuable assets for a company. Who would reorg and layoff without these underpaid geniuses?

    Intel CEO is leading that company as it just falls further and further behind. They laid off a bunch of people and got rid of a lot but they still gave him a $6mil bonus.

    We don’t even really get bonuses when we do super well but these fuckwits will get millions of dollars while their choices actively destroy the company they’re supposed to working for.
