My comment was aimed more towards the excessive CEO pay, not the stagnation in worker’s pay.

Probably not the best source (just one of the first Google results), but if I read something like this:

How much money did Marissa Mayer make while running Yahoo? During her five years at Yahoo, from 2012 to 2017, Marissa’s total compensation, including salary, stock, and bonuses, was $405 million. Verizon acquired Yahoo for a little over $4 billion in 2016. Marissa earned roughly $120 million from the acquisition through a mix of bonuses, accelerated stock options and salary. For example, she was paid a onetime bonus of $23,011,325 once the Verizon acquisition was finalized.

Then it seems to be like the shareholders somehow got the short end, despite being the ones with the power to make changes.
