They should be the ones who should get a pay cut, pay freeze or fired. Most of the CTOs I have worked for lack long-term innovation because their business models are so backwards. Take their $100,00+ salary and hire some new software engineers that are more up to date on the technology that a company needs to thrive - that would be 2 more GOOD assets to a company vs some goofball who likens himself as some "big thinker".
