Per executive. Assuming a generous $100k cost per employee, that’s still 500 jobs. And really, I think saving 10 jobs or 5 jobs is still fine, if that were the number. No single person can be so good at a job that it warrants sending hundreds more out the door. Any company that thinks this should try an experiment: fire the executive, ask any employee at all in the company to take over the job for 1/20th the salary and see if the outcome is measurably worse.
