"Dell could cut the pay of all its executives, they would leave the company to work elsewhere as they are highly in demand in the market"

This is merely a theoretical argument. There seems to be very little correlation between executive compensation and the performance of a company.

Fine, but I'm just thinking through what actually happens when the plan goes into effect. Say all Dell executives get 80% paycuts, but still make ~$150-$250k per year. So Dell's cost structure is even more attractive since they have saved all that salary cost. Probably we would see significant management departures from Dell, and I guess your theory is that that wouldn't affect Dell much since there are plenty of employees now making $100k that can replace the departing managers for $150k?
