Depending on the scale of the increase, I have no problem with her multi-million dollar bonus as a result of superior business outcomes generated under her leadership. Hell, I don’t even care if she was originally opposed to buying the robots and only decided to after a compelling presentation from the COO. The buck stops with her and if she generates superior results in 8-10 figures, multi-million payouts aren’t hard for me to swallow as a shareholder, employee, or customer.
