Not saying the pay isn't outrageous, but most of the executive pay is in equity, which probably cost Hasbro next to nothing. They can't pay those laid off workers, probably making little more than minimum wage, with that.

It's costing the investors who they work for that much money.

It might not be impacting the balance sheet.

Paying in equity still dilutes your stock price therefore increases your loan costs. Plus, you could just sell more stock otherwise.
