Your premise is incorrect. Before bankruptcy, Hostess's CEO made maybe 50-75x what a worker made, but for every C-suite exec there were thousands of line employees. Cutting workers and the wages of workers is where the money is at.

The nature of shareholders may provide huge incentives to continue to automate, all the way down to the most essential people required to run the design, production, distribution, marketing, etc.
Top company leads, board members, and advisors may suffice to run the operation and innovate, causing the CEO role to be phased out.
