I'm part of [INSERT ORG] that does [INSERT OPPOSITE OF GP'S STATEMENT]. So therefore, you are wrong. QED. > all sorts of folk Even if we did take your statement as a datapoint (hopefully one among many...), this clause could cover a small town or an entire continent. It's amazing that in a community of Y-Combinator founders, there is such a malformed understanding of what it means to run a large organization. Don't get me wrong, CEOs have inflated salaries. That is a society-wide problem, not just non-profits. To argue that non-profits should just forcibly change the bar for CEO salary (1) is the wrong place to enact this kind of social change, (2) would ensure that you only get the least qualifying candidates, (3) could lead CEOs into possibly devious action to increase personal wealth, and (4) could result in lower effort/efficiency as the CEO has to juggle other financial-fitness activities. If CEO salary is important to you, there is tons of data out there to help you pick a similar charity with more agreeable administrative compensation. I hope that there aren't people out there who just don't donate because of this.
