If a company lays off it's workers to save money and please shareholders, why do CEO's get massive bonuses?

I'm talking about multi millions of a bonus. Surely it would be better for the company and the shareholders if CEO's weren't getting big bonuses? Are the bonuses not as much when compared to the wages of several hundred employees?
It seems super short sighted and potentially less valuable for shareholders in general
