Mozilla lays off 70

I don't much care for Eich but that graph (as in, what it represents) is just shameful.

The salary of top executives has gone way up in the past 20 years or so across industries, and largely without relation to company performance.

Nice deflection. I'm a founder of mozilla.org, Mitchell joined 8 months after, we worked closely for 15+ years. She set the salaries with board approval, always made somewhat more than I did, I never complained. Neither of us was making more than high six figures, until after I left. Something changed, and it is not generic to "industries". No excuses!

Remember, I'm the bad guy. Ignore this looting operation amid market share tanking, also do please ignore past board members tied to Epstein. It's all about me. :-/

I didn't intend for it to come off as a deflection, though I see that it would be easy to read it that way.

I agree that something changed at Mozilla, but I've seen it get justified at other previously reasonable organizations with excuses like "everyone else is doing it," or "This is still below-market rate for C-level talent." The fact that it's happening everywhere doesn't make it less nauseating.

[edit]

Mitchell could drop her salary to a "mere" 6 figures and lay off 7 fewer people, but you hardly ever see executives do things like that.

Ha ha. I love Brendan. Saying it like it is. No-frills.
