Isn't this slightly a reflection of her attitude towards the company she is steering? Could she have said "you know what, I'm already worth millions so this year I will only receive $1m and we'll use the rest of that money to help bring this company roaring back"....or are these execs just too far out of reality to realize that saving 40-something million dollars for their company would be helpful. I understand she was probably contractually aware of this salary, but c'mon!
