Nintendo’s sales haven’t been what they hoped for or expected, so all the executives got together and made the decision to cut their salaries in half to ensure their employees still get paid. They say it’s the fault of the executives that the products aren’t selling well, not their employees, so it isn’t fair for the employees to have to take the hits for that.

Why are there people who don’t like or respect Nintendo again?

Here are some sources for this 

This is unexpected. 

I DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR A SWITCH IM TRYING I SWEAR IM TRYING

I feel like it’s worth saying that this is from a few years ago, when Satoru Iwata was president of the company, before his passing, and taking a pay cut was largely his idea. (Most of the directors at the top took a 20 or 30 percent pay cut, while Iwata cut his own salary by half.) They are doing much better now but, unfortunately, although he was involved with the prototyping and development of the Switch – the Wii U is essentially an early version of it – Iwata did not live to see its launch, which has been a massive success and is currently the fastest selling console of this generation. They had a great idea and just needed more time to execute on it.

But he was still a part of the system at launch, when a hidden tribute to him was placed inside the OS that could only be unlocked on the anniversary of his death. Nintendo is an amazing company; there’s a reason they’ve been around for over a hundred years.
