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

- aidenn0 7y agoThe salary of top executives has gone way up in the past 20 years or so across industries, and largely without relation to company performance.
- BrendanEich 7y agoNice 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!
- aidenn0 7y agoI 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.
- BrendanEich 7y agoRemember, 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. :-/
- IGotThroughIt 7y agoHa ha. I love Brendan. Saying it like it is. No-frills.
