Netflix Investors Reject What They Pay Netflix CEOs
- Netflix shareholders rejected proposed compensation packages for top executives Ted Sarandos, Greg Peters, and Reed Hastings worth up to $50 million each.
- The vote against the advisory "Say on Pay" measure urged by the Writers Guild of America was nonbinding but signals shareholder dissatisfaction.
- Sarandos and Peters, as co-CEOs, were in line for $40 million and $35 million pay packages respectively for 2023.
- The WGA has argued Netflix should pay its creators fairly if it pays its executives so well, as the union continues its strike.
- Netflix's board can still approve the pay, but last year cut executive pay after a similar shareholder vote.
