Salary cap???

To 'stay in business' or to keep factories open, have furniture or retail execs chosen to take a pay cut in their exorbitant salaries? Are they more concerned about helping shareholders than their own employees?

Are you proposing a salary cap on salaries??? They should be concerned about helping the shareholders when it's the money from shareholders that gives them the cash to spend on capital and expand their business. If the company was running poorly financially, then the stock price falls, which means there is no money to expand. A good example of that is Krispy Kreme.
