    What do you mean “not quite”? Those shares were part of his compensation / pay. OP is exactly right – tech executive gets paid millions regardless of actual performance (in this case very poor performance that likely resulted in him being shown the door). Meanwhile, there are folks in this country who can’t afford shelter or a meal.

    Next time Spotify should hire a homeless person as CFO for half as much as the ousted CFO. Same job performance results, but they’d save millions and actually do some good in the process.

      I thought they were talking about an exit payment.

      But if he is selling his remuneration shares, then that is different.

      I guess more annoyed at the size of their remuneration.
