General Motors Co. Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra took a 0.4 percent pay cut last year, as the largest U.S. automaker pulled off the rare feat of uniting Washington in opposition to its plan to close four factories in America.
Barra made about $21.9 million in 2018, with her pay dropping by $87,598 from a year earlier, according to GM’s proxy filing. Portions of her compensation linked to GM’s performance shrank slightly as the company’s $11.8 billion in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes dipped after record profits the previous two years.
