that could help remaining workers. Given the human and business downsides of layoffs, a CEO's top priority should be to avoid them at all costs.

While one can't necessarily applaud a company for paying a CEO"just" $50 million, there's something to be said for the chief executive willing to slash their own payand reduced the salaries of his executive team by 15% to avoid broad layoffs.
For the companies that turned to job cuts, the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of their CEOs. As the sole person in charge, they're responsible for misjudging the macroeconomy, making terrible investments, and then following along with the industry in a shortsighted attempt to please Wall Street. And yet, despite a smattering of pay reductions, none of them have faced real consequences.
