A lot of people seem to have this idea that layoffs are usually wrong, and that it means the company/CEO did something bad. That's just not reality. Laying off people wasn't a sin, and his vacation isn't him reveling in his sinful lifestyle.

hotels cost anywhere between $100-$500/night

finally, I'm guessing $100/day on meals should be enough.
So you are asking if sales people making $114K-$212K, or $3,174-$5,608 per month after California income tax

can afford a $3,000-$5,000 vacation. On the internet someone said they got 5 months of severance pay, if it's true and it's a lump sum payment then it seems like all of them have the money for it, unless they were spending more than they were making or need more than 4 months to find a job that pays the same.
I would assume that he does see the people he laid off as people, yes. I know a lot of executives and wealthy investors, and I have yet to see the sociopathy people attribute to them (though I do know of a few credible stories of particular exceptions, particularly in older industries). And Benioff in particular has a fairly good reputation among people who have worked with him, from what I understand.
Sure, but that has very little to do with actual ability to do the job, and much more to do with already being a member of the executive class.
Of course, I think he sees the people he laid off as people. What I don't understand is why you seemingly don't think of the CEO as a person.
What an odd comment. Pretty sure that we don’t need any form of societal regulation around making vacation luxuries equitable.
