I guess an annual salary of one hundred trillion dollars, or however ridiculously much it was, wasn't enough for her.
doubt she'll get any more from stepping down... but yeah it's ridiculous how much some of these CEOs think they need. Especially in a company that is supposed to be better...
I know, my comment didn't make a lot of sense; her salary just triggered me tremendously the first time I heard what it was. This seemed like as good a place as any to express my disgust.
Believe that most people here on this platform would agree with you on that, consider your rant redeemed :)
Especially when you compare to Japanese CEO
CEO pay is so ridiculous, there's obviously no way they're going to self regulate so we need to either tie it to worker pay/well-being or put it under the control of their employees
Well, technically, CEOs don't pick their own salaries, they are decided by the board, and so, indirectly by the shareholders. Then again, she is also a board member, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Salaries of officers of non-profits are public information. See page 8.
She was taking $5.6M from "related organizations" (not quite sure what that would be), but not much from the Mozilla Foundation itself. The rest of the board is taking $115k-$340k directly from the Foundation.
Those are insane amounts to me, in a non-profit. Non-profit sounds meaningless when considering certain people within the organization are making $340k off of donated money. It's a mockery of the term in my opinion.
$5.6M is just on a whole separate level though. Speechless.
I assume that on the IRS returns form for Mozilla Foundation, the "related organization" that the CEO of Mozilla Corporation gets 5+ million from is probably Mozilla Corporation. But I don't know.
