Are financial institutions losing money because the employees are paid too much?

I have heard that many financial institutions are losing money. Is this because the employees are being paid too much? Many of you know people in finance making six, seven or even eight figure salaries. Aggregately, is the sum of all these salaries expenses the reason why so many financial institutions are losing money?
