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

      Yes, and he’ll do the old “force austerity to temporarily drive up profit margins for a quarter or two, then once it’s clear the next quarter will be crap, sell all of the stock that was awarded (auspiciously with a very short vesting window, if not just given outright)”

      Typical bs, probably worth shorting this stock over the next year or so

      Yes, and that is the same thing as being paid even if the CEO pretends that it isn’t.
