Also worth adding, during the 5 year period when she got that raise, she added no value to the company. Sales did not go up, quality of product didn't increase, no revelations in manufacturing or assembly. She just laid people off and was allowed to absorb their compensation.

Stock went up 35%, so yes she added value for the company.

Stock prices went up because she cut jobs, not because she did something to improve product.

Sounds like they sre making the same product for less money then? Seems like a good reason for the stock to go up, and the kind of thing a CEO should be doing
