Lifestyle Alphabet CEO earns over $226m in 2022 By Reuters April 23, 2023 Reuters/Denis Balibouse Alphabet Inc CEO Sundar Pichai's compensation included stock awards of about $218 million Alphabet Inc CEO Sundar Pichai received total compensation of about $226 million in 2022, more than 800 times the median employee’s pay, the company said in a securities filing. Pichai’s compensation included stock awards of about $218 million, the filing showed. The pay disparity comes at a time when Alphabet, the parent company of Google, has been cutting jobs globally. The Mountain View, California-based company announced plans to cut 12,000 jobs around the world in January, equivalent to 6 percent of its global workforce. Early this month, hundreds of Google employees staged a walkout at the company’s London offices following a dispute over layoffs. In March, Google employees staged a walkout at the company’s Zurich offices after more than 200 workers were laid off.
