In this episode of "We Fixed It, You're Welcome," the hosts tackle
the controversial topic of executive compensation, focusing on
Paramount Pictures and its former CEO Bob Bakish's $69.3 million
severance package. The panel, including guest Erik Akutagawa,
discusses the ethics of golden parachutes, their impact on employee
morale, and potential solutions to align executive pay with company
performance. They explore ideas such as performance-based vesting,
clawback provisions, and linking executive outcomes to worker
protections. The conversation delves into the broader
implications of these practices across industries, touching on
similar issues in sports and retail. The hosts propose structural
reforms to create more accountability and fairness in executive
compensation, while acknowledging the challenges of implementing
such changes in the current corporate landscape. Disclaimer: A
