once more, how much does that garbage ceo costs?

[–] LWD@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

$6.9 mil the last time they said. And that was in a year where CEO salary was (on average) cut across all for-profit companies, because even businesses react to market forces sometimes.

The CEO who got paid that much has quit. We don't yet know what the salary of the new CEO is going to be.

And the blame for Mozilla's lack of transparency rests entirely on Mozilla's shoulders.

If you know anything about Mozilla's finances at all, you know that they always are one to two years out of date. So your response, which I've seen before, is ignorant at best, and really disingenuous at worst. I hope for the former.

That CEO is working for the Mozilla Corporation, these layoffs happened at the Mozilla Foundation. The latter is legally a non-profit, so it would be quite limited how much money they could accept from the Corporation anyways.

The corporation could hire them directly

Not enough that its worth.
