I don't know anything about Oskar Eustis' salary or management style in his office, but my Dad, before his retirement, used to run a local area office of a national non-profit youth organization. There was a point, early in his tenure in this particular office when, due to budget shortfalls, layoffs become necessary. I asked my Dad about why he laid off people, rather than just reducing all salaries by some amount to make up the difference.

He told me that, if you lay people off, those people are unhappy and, as a manager, you have to live with that. But if he reduced salaries for all, EVERYONE would be unhappy (because who would ever think that they make too much money and could take a cut) and all those unhappy people would still be working in the office and there's a chance that their unhappiness with the salary cut would affect the way they do their job. And a segment of those people would start looking for a new job anyway. So he made the call to layoff some to preserve harmony in the office for those that remain.
