Complaints about CEO salaries at non-profits are disproportionately targeted at people who aren't men and you should take that into account before amplifying them
Sure. Yet, Mozilla *Corporation* is not a non-profit. And the funding and commitment to Firefox, which is *what they get paid by Google for*, isn't up to snuff.
I'm all for folks being paid well. But the disconnect is real. And that's worth pointing out.
(Without ampliyfing Lunduke, who *has* the agenda you refer to.)
Personally? I believe Firefox is too important to be funded by the private sector, and we need it under Sovereign Tech Fund etc.
@larsmb The question of "Is MoCo spending money effectively" is a massively larger conversation than the CEO's comp and can occur entirely independently, especially given that Firefox is entirely competitive with Chrome but the complaints about Sundar's comp are usually not attached to that
@vaurora I don't fundamentally disagree and also would probably prefer someone else to be running the org, but also it's not clear that the amount she's paid is grossly incompatible with the amount of value produced? It feels like it's easier to argue about whether the incentive structure for what Mozilla produces is correct and whether this is the right way to achieve that
while this may well be true, and if so is outrageous in itself, iirc the original post made no mention of the CEO’s sex yet still had me think that the money could’ve been better spent, so I guess *that’s* what I reacted to. If the original poster has a track record of spreading a misogynistic agenda I may still think twice about boosting future posts from them, but this in itself doesn’t necessarily invalidate the point of individual posts.

MoCo is owned by the Foundation and all their profits go back there. The Foundation is supposed to control MoCo.
~8 mil are ~2% of their annual total expenses. On one employee. While the projects are resource starved. No.
