One thing I picked up on was that the plan to move production to Mexico was to save 30 million dollars. The CEO's compensation was 40 million

It took him 6 years to make that $40 million. It's not clear the timeline on that $30 million. For all we know it could have saved the company $30 million a year.

The old CFO at my firm was awarded the first year of annual cost-cutting savings as his bonus. Executive comp can be weird, but at a public company it's probably not a loss-leader.
