He literally owns Epic and is worth billions. His rather small $1m/year CEO salary is peanuts in comparison to his net worth and other CEO salaries. Asking this question shows you care more about the optics than the substance of someone cutting their pay. Even if he cut it to $0 it'd be irrelevant as he's not sacrificing anything in the process.

- marcinzm 3y agoYou do understand what owning the company means, right? Everything paid to employees beyond the legal minimum is essentially coming 50+% from his pocket. And not paying himself doesn't mean much when that just means Epic keeps the money which is half owned by his anyway. Thus my point that you care more about the optics than the reality of helping those laid off.
- greenthrow 3y agoYou're making the opposite argument to what you think you are. Your points support that he should cut his $1m/salary to 0 and allow 3-10 other employees to stay on.
- marcinzm 3y agoYou think I'm defending him. I'm not. He could take out a loan against his $5+ billion ownership stake to help keep 100+ employees on. He's not. He's prioritizing the future growth and value of the company despite having the choice not to. You however are too busy being distracted by the shiny toy to realize how much he isn't doing.
