PG&E CEO rakes in over 190 times the typical employee salary

PG&E ($PCG) is a for-profit corporation and part of the S&P 500.

"Most of Poppe’s compensation came from $41.2 million in stock awards, a $6.6 million bonus and an annual salary of $1.3 million"

Of course. Freed from the requirement to turn a profit, they can redirect revenue to executive salaries.

Employee compensation is an expense, not revenue or profit.

you have a misconception about what a public utility is, they are not govt run or "socialist enterprises", they are normal profit oriented corporations that shareholders buy shares in and expect a profit from. They are in industries which are regulated with regard to pricing, etc. because those industries are considered to create natural monopolies.
