You mean the "competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to"? It's pretty funny, especially the word "competitive"? I assume the bit you could see landing her in hot water are the three words "and their families"?
- jacquesm 6y agoYes, because if and when Mozilla goes belly up and the CEO has been found to enrich herself with this as her motivation for continuing to raid the till when it was clear that Mozilla was in trouble then you don't want to have stuff like that on the record. The Martha Stewart case revolved around a similar minor (for her) issue, $45K loss avoided but it landed her in jail. Rich people make stupid mistakes too, whether this is one of those remains to be seen (I think it will pass) even so, it isn't smart when your company is on a multi-year downslide. It's not good optics.
- moron4hire 6y agoThe part that Stewart did time for was the lying to federal investigators.
- jacquesm 6y agoYes, if not for that she would have likely walked. Even so, it further illustrates that minor tricks can have a big effect in the right context. I'm pretty sure that Stewart didn't think about the possible consequences when she did that. Must be weird to sit that high and fall so low.
