GameStop's chief executive is taking a 50% pay cut as part of a pay raise for the company as it prepares to reopen stores in other states, the company announced today.
"The company has begun the process of reopening stores in Italy, Germany, Austria as well as South America and Georgia and is preparing to open locally and internationally in the coming weeks," GameStop write a business review. Currently, one-third of GameStop stores are closed in the U.S. While some sell games only with curbside pickups.

A whole bunch of integrated leadership, including CFO Jim Bell, will take 30% of the cuts while GameStop's board of directors, since last month including former Nintendo American president Reggie Fils-Aimé, has taken 50% of the cuts.
But the cuts are not limited to the management team. "As of April 26, some workers at some companies operating globally will receive an interim wage of between 10% and 30%," the organization wrote. Other ways to save money mentioned include the choice of temporary furloughs or the weekly reduction of “sponsored staff,” new inventions, and the delay in paying taxes on certain rentals.
