Poor Robert Iger. The dude took a pay cut from $40M to $34M from Disney; to this mathematically-challenged blogger, that's a 15% reduction. Poor guy probably will hit food pantry near his SoCal home. It this is a (fair & balanced) tale of hard times, so be it.

Hard Times
By The Deadline Poet (Calvin Trillin)
Tag Cloud of the following piece of writing
The 2013 Compensation of Disney CEO Robert Iger Was Reduced to $34 Million.
—News Reports
The forty million made before
Has been reduced to thirty-four.
At home, Bob now knows what’s in store:
Economies he must explore
To try to keep wolves from the door.
He hears remarks he can’t ignore:
They whisper, those who make much more,
“Poor Iger makes but thirty-four.” Ω
