Whatever is causing them to turn around and want to hire him again is evidence he was underpaid. Maybe he’s got dirt on them, maybe they realized he’s actual crucial to operations. Either way, the negotiating field has changed now that they’ve revealed their desperation.
I mean the guy was easily making gobs of money. I don’t think he needs anymore money. Did he make less than others? Maybe. But he wasn’t at the bread bank looking for handouts.
Not really commenting on whether Altman got paid enough or not, but “well he’s not fucking homeless” isn’t really a sensible argument in any conversation about compensation.
I mean I was being sarcastic. He’s gonna be just fine. He will live better than 95% of the population. He was the head of a company valued at 50+ billion. This guy is not being paid less than 300k. Him being fired isn’t going to change his life style in any dramatic fashion like it would an average person.

His needs aren’t his such figures are set. It’s based on their needs.
