Can you cite these millions paid to execs at Mozilla?

Mitchell Baker was paid $2,294,667 in 2017.

Mitchell Baker was paid $2,458,350 in 2018.

Mozilla has not released their annual report for 2019, yet.

To be fair it's not that much for a CEO of a SV corporation, however the fact that she went from $700,000 to more than $2,000,000 in the space of 5 years and her financial accomplishments don't reflet any of it is quite surprising.

Almost like vultures who are skinning a company while they still can, emptying the bank account knowing that eventually they'll get fired for poor performance.

Yes, I thought the whole point of Mozilla, being a non-profit and all, is to be different from "SV corporations".

But apparently it's run like all the VC-backed companies.

CEOs don’t set their own comp.

Baker is Executive Chairwoman and heads the Board of Directors. But she's also been around since Netscape, and was instrumental in starting Mozilla post-AOL. Not exactly a corporate raider.

In theory. In practice, they often negotiate it with their board.

[kortilla]

Yes, but in practice then all employees set their own comp by negotiating with their manager.

It's (semi-)public info; same as it ever was: Moz is laying off employees and paying managers waaaay too much.

Reading through that thread, the main thing that came to mind was the adage "Never meet your heroes."
