You also run into the issue of finding a replacement. Given that firefox appears to be sinking who will come in? If someone chooses to come in your going to have to pay a lot more them, and the team they want to bring in. So it will cost a lot more than keep the current staff, and you want the current staff to avoid the increase costs. The only reason firefox staff would be thrown out is if they can't turn it around after everything they tried. Look at yahoo, they were a sinking ship, current staff had no vision, then they hired a new CEO, who spent a ton of money, and it didn't help their situation, and bam a few years later you are sold. It works only if you bring in the right people, like AMD did. It is an uphill battle too. Imagine your career, now in 5 years, your career is gone, now what are you going to do? (This is how mining towns, etc died). |

Someone who believes the ship is not sinking, who has a vision how to save the ship, and who agrees to be paid only if ship continues floating.
Hiring a CEO who believes the ship is going to sink is a straight way to sink that ship.
