Some of those executives were making the decisions on which people to keep and which were to be laid off. That is a heavy weight to put on anyone, and especially so with a company that is entwined as Disney is. I know it feels cliche, but there were a lot of people with literally decades of friendship being made to break up their family.

In the end though, it's their job as an executive and its only fair that they got paid to do their job.

Companies also hire outside human resources consultants to help them advise on layoffs / restructuring. The outside company does not have any feelings on who stays and who goes.

It's nice to be on a discussion board on which no one here ever is motivated by money or power like the evil Iger is.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Capitalism. "You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have The Facts of Life." If any CEO doesn't have that motivation they also do not last long in that world. Don't kid yourself, Walt himself worked for the money. He might have used the money to realize his dreams, but he always had to be motivated by money. You don't get to your dreams without it.

A bit of a cynical way to look at it.

I don’t think everyone who gets to their dreams works only for money.

Glad to know you know what makes everyone else tick. It's a reflection on you that you think everyone else is so motivated by money and power to the degree that Bob Iger has been.

Well, many defend it. Not being argumentative, just making light of all of the “it’s a business” libertarians and independents (ha) here.

Not for it... with it! That requires the desire to get the money unless one is born wealthy. And it depends on what the dream is. If it requires substantial material investment to obtain, then it is a prime motivation. If it is just a personal best like best skier or best baseball player or best singer, song writer and so on. Even then it requires at least a modicum of financial longing in order to maintain ones health in order to attain it. The degree of involvement varies, but still is there.

when people with power and money get old they often get obsessed with legacy. They can have anything they want but they know they’ll be forgotten in time so they try to do something to be remembered by down the ages. Even walt was thinking EPCOT and cal arts when he passed

Potatoes potatos. Legacy is about the power to control the narrative long after you’re gone.
