It's (semi-)public info; same as it ever was: Moz is laying off employees and paying managers waaaay too much. https://twitter.com/christi3k/status/1217542576141524992 https://twitter.com/christi3k/status/1217542576141524992

  Reading through that thread, the main thing that came to mind was the adage "Never meet your heroes."

  To be fair it's not that much for a CEO of a SV corporation, however the fact that she went from $700,000 to more than $2,000,000 in the space of 5 years and her financial accomplishments don't reflet any of it is quite surprising. Almost like vultures who are skinning a company while they still can, emptying the bank account knowing that eventually they'll get fired for poor performance.

    > emptying the bank account knowing that eventually they'll get fired for poor performance. CEOs don’t set their own comp.

      Baker is Executive Chairwoman and heads the Board of Directors. But she's also been around since Netscape, and was instrumental in starting Mozilla post-AOL. Not exactly a corporate raider.

      In theory. In practice, they often negotiate it with their board.
      - kortilla 7y ago
        Yes, but in practice then all employees set their own comp by negotiating with their manager.
  - eloisant 7y ago
    Yes, I thought the whole point of Mozilla, being a non-profit and all, is to be different from "SV corporations". But apparently it's run like all the VC-backed companies.
