Somehow that's fine for higher ups to 'sit' on 10 boards. And they do not see that like 'steal as many paychecks'.

Board membership is more like volunteer work, they meet for a few hours once a month to rubberstamp the CEO's strategy. It's oversight rather than 'work'.

£10k/year for maybe 2days/month of meetings and prep sounds pretty well paid for volunteer work.
