Reply to comment by amidead32 in Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav’s 2022 Pay Package Hits $39.3M by MarvelsGrantMan136

It's not really a success, it's a MASSIVE failure. His previous salary was $246 mil.

He'll be fired soon if he keeps this up.

He paid off 7 billion in debt last year, he’s doing fine with the board

Salary ≠Total compensation.

Can't see why this is upvoted.

Pay package refers to total compensation so while he used the wrong term the comparison is valid.

Because reddit likes to forget that publicly owned companies have a non-negotiable fiduciary obligation to maximize profits for shareholders. If they don't, leadership replaces them with someone who will.

People think leadership is disconnected from what the audiences want but in reality it's the audiences that are disconnected from the business operation and how it works.

Pleasing the shareholder = short term gain.

Pleasing the customer = long term gain.
