That’s what I got in 3 minutes. I still would bet there are a ton more.

The articles written about CEO pay cuts are PR puff pieces intended to placate us into not taking back what the oligarchs have stolen from us.

Getting mad because someone was paid this year for the salary they earned last year is a bit of a stretch. I am a lowly coder at a bank and I got my bonus and profit share last month for the work I accomplished in 2019. What will suffer is my bonus and profit share for 2020, which I will be paid in April of 2021, if there's anything to get.

Thanks! Most of those (Goldman, SFDC, Liberty Mutual) don't seem to be laying people off, though, so I'm not sure why this is a problem.

I won't bother getting into a discussion about "what the oligarchs have stolen from us."
