Where are you getting these numbers? Ten thousand lay-offs seems like an arbitrary number to make this math look better. The most recent lay-offs by Epic were less than a thousand, roughly 830. Using, that number, even with the other figures you've chosen, a CEO pay cut would've definitely been noticeable.

This is a good point, the smaller the layoff the more you can argue that the CEO (or others) should just take a pay cut instead.
