I agree. Too often execs are given credit for giving up a salary when it's a small percentage of their income. There are times when giving up 10% of your total comp is a great gesture. It's harder to justify when you just put 2/3 of your employees on unemployment income. I would have actually liked to see Sorenson do the reverse, he could live on his $1.3M for a year. Better yet, I wish he would have kept both, then personally donated the bonus money to a cause that would help his former employees. I guess that could still happen...
