I have often thought it would be a good idea if employees had a voice in the salaries of their bosses. That would prevent mediocre executives from looting a company like that. If an executive is really good and benefits the company as a whole, sure give them a high salary to keep them on board. But if they're mostly profiting from the hard work of the rest of the company, and don't want to reinvest the profits back into the company or share it with the employees, then why should they be getting these massive salaries?
