Even in the scenario where they take a pay cut or reduce their salary so what? They were making huge amounts while making the active decisions that lead to you loosing your job. Eventually they'll get back to their regular salary and they still retain all the original benefits of the job.

Meanwhile even in the scenario where you got a severance you better hope you don't need any of those benefits. Namely insurance for ongoing medications or medical needs.

If you understand upper management compensation, salary is very small %. The bigger % is in shares. Meaning they can take a pay cut but their total comp might increase if they can get the share price up.
