How can they get paid 50% less when share prices drop by 35%? Can't get past the paywall.

The article claims:

> The past two years have not been as rosy for Amazon’s stock price. It fell 2.3% in 2021 and a whopping 49.5% last year.

This explains the headline. I guess that the figures depend on the specific dates you pick?
