It wasn't this year, but I remember when Satoru Iwata and a bunch of other Nintendo executives took pay cuts when the Wii U was underperforming rather than laying off workers.

So it does happen, just not very often with most companies.
- Japan Airlines CEO took a salary of $1 during the downturn..but it's more of a Japan thing
  
  To be fair, many US CEOs take a $1 salary, they just get a ton of stocks instead.
  
  It's the alternative to cutting your pinky finger off.
- So you're telling me the CEO behind the Wii U even kept his job? Wild
  
  He was also the CEO behind the Wii, DS, and 3DS. So plenty of success besides the Wii U.
