Remember, he’s the real victim here, he had to sign off on all those layoffs, he’s going to have to live with that decision…
…in one of his multiple mansions.
He gets paid that much because he’s one of the few people on earth who can make those kind of tough choices. The poor guy must be weeping into his caviar.

Our CEO announced layoffs recently and then even more recently sent a follow up email complaining about how people were complaining about it and saying how hard it has been for the executive team. We’re a small company and I get the pain they are feeling due to financial constraints but at the end of the day we work for money and they are taking home 3-4x as much as anyone else each month while making all the decisions about how money is spent. It’s hard not to become resentful.

Sorry to hear that, typical hierarchical power structure.
We need more worker protections, and more workplace democracy.
