    I guess the obvious question is “Did that include CEO bonuses as well?”. Those bonuses are the artificially gigantic ones given to scavenger/predators who hurt their own employees to benefit the shareholders.

      I still don’t understand the justification for CEO bonuses. They provide zero value to the company and shareholders. They are signing away money to an individual with zero return. Aside from motivating them to do the job they are already paid for…

        They raise money, that’s the CEOs job. So they get these bonuses because they convinced a billionaire to invest $100M, and if they get fired that billionaire is out.
