CEO denied responsibility and later resigned from his $18m salary and somehow still received $54m severance...Or something like that. I'd like that kind of deal when I quit my job...

"I feel terrible that my rallying cry seemed insensitive," wrote Andi Owen, chief executive of office furniture giant MillerKnoll, in an email to staff Tuesday. "What I'd hoped would energize the team to meet a challenge we've met many times before landed in a way that I did not intend and for that I am sorry."

Andi Owen should be put on the street.

In 2022, Owen took home nearly $5 million in compensation, which includes a $1.1 million salary plus various stock options and bonus pay, according to the company’s proxy filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The median employee income at MillerKnoll, the company behind sleek office furniture brands such as Herman Miller and Design Within Reach, was $44,810.

Emphasis mine.
