> The idea that this is just GrubHub or DoorDash or whoever being greedy doesn't seem to jive with these companies losing money too.

The executives of GrubHub and DoorDash aren't losing money.

Note that "not making as much money" is not the same as losing money.




I mean okay, but I doubt the executive pay is really moving the needle in terms of whether these companies are profitable.

I'm talking about the company being profitable, not whether employees are able to draw a salary or whatever. I would think this would be obvious. Both companies are currently unprofitable. Granted, the pandemic obviously isn't helping things.

Sure, but executives being paid does jive with "[t]he idea that this is just GrubHub or DoorDash or whoever being greedy", which is what I was responding to. The executives being the ones who make the decisions for the corporation.
