You can call people greedy as much as you want, but you have to pay market rate or you can’t find a CEO at all.

There would be a very long queue of people willing to do any of the C-suite jobs for $500k.

Or $800k. Or $1m. Or $1.2m.

The $2.5m -> $500k is an easy soundbite, but it doesn't have to even be that drastic.

Granted, shaving 'only' $1m off might only allow you to 'save', say 8-12(?) jobs, but... that's 8-12 people, some with families

Yes but would they be the right people? You know. The right ones. Who are friends with members of the board, and are therefore already rich enough and socialized such that they can be friends with members of the board.

I wonder how the 'market' rate was estimated. Was it compared to other non-profit org, or just picked some random SV ones?
