I feel like you're misleadingly quoting the Wikipedia article.

> In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008.

......

> By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic.[16]

So its a 400% increase between 2008 and 2018, suggesting that her initial pay was an abysmal (for a CEO) pay of only $500k in 2008.

For the period suggested (the period where Mozilla fired 250 employees), her pay only raised from ~$2.5 million to $3 million, which is in line with my expectations.

I disagree. 500k is in line with salaries in other nonprofits. Even Costco CEO’s base salary is 800k.

> which is in line with my expectations.

My expectations for a CEO who presided over the level of performance we've seen from Mozilla in recent years would be that their salary would be reduced to zero. Because they would get fired.

I do not see a reason for anyone to make multiple millions of dollars each year, no matter what they do.

$500k is an incredible amount of money, which should be sufficient for anyone as compensation.

Her performance was equally abysmal, why raise salary?
