      Ryan specifically says

      “I’m not getting paid, so I’m either going down with the ship or turning the company around. I much prefer the latter.”

      I assume he’s not taking a salary for his role. I highly doubt that extends to the rest of the c suite though.

        But is he getting a hefty stock based compensation package? Can he sell those stocks before he bails?

      He has 0 salary, he isn’t getting paid for any of this. Hence the end of the letter. You obviously didn’t even read it.

      I expect everyone to roll up their sleeves and work hard. I’m not getting paid, so I’m either going down with the ship or turning the company around. I much prefer the latter.

        Billionaires can afford to not get paid. Billionaires expecting normal people to get paid less is the pinnacle of arrogance.

        Ah yes, billionaires making business decisions out of the kindness of their heart. Super likely.

        These people don’t make the bulk of their wealth through a paycheck.

          No shit, he’s an activist that bought in and turned the company around when it was being run into the ground by consultants working for short sellers. He owns about 15%

          Now compare that to executives with no personal stake in their company, making millions in salary and not giving a fuck about anyone else
