It is interesting to note that Brendan Eich's severance pay when he was forced out of Mozilla was just $113,000. https://www.forbes.com/sites/georgeanders/2015/11/30/mozillas-money-latest-filings-include-a-few-surprises/#3f71acaa4222 https://www.forbes.com/sites/georgeanders/2015/11/30/mozilla... Also interesting to note that Brendan Eich too plotted a chart showing Baker's pay vs Mozilla stock's performance: https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1217512049716035584 https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/1217512049716035584 How anyone can claim that sort of pay hike when showing very poor results is beyond me.

>>"It is interesting to note that Brendan Eich's severance pay when he was forced out of Mozilla was just $113,000" He was 11 days on the job, so, not so bad.

  He was a co-founder of Mozilla. What the hell? He had been CTO before he was made CEO.

      If anything he should have been fired from Mozilla for that reason

        Javascript has many faults, but go look into the history of how/why it was created and given that context, it's likely many would do far worse than he did. https://auth0.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-javascript/ https://auth0.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-javascript/

    The pigs that separate themselves in status from the rest of the farm animals horde more resources for themselves even in the face of worsening conditions on the farm (their grain windmill gets destroyed at some point). The pigs serve as placeholders for Stalinists, but the general dynamic exists in any political situation that accepts inequality, like corporate capitalism in the case of Mozilla.

      That is a very nice summary, much better than I could have written it.

BTW, I didn't create that chart, someone inside Mozilla (I'm told) did.
