While collecting masks and gloves they said the company executives were making hundreds of millions while putting their lives in danger.

The salary of Dignity CEO’s includes Lloyd H. Dean at $8, 057,380, CFO Michael D. Blaszyk $4, 115,1187, Chief Operating Officer Marvin O’Quinn. $4,022,202 and Chief Admin Officer Elizabeth Shih $2,861,879
