I'm not saying that Baker was or wasn't overpaid, but people certainly did complain about it. "How can you ask me to donate money when Baker's making six figures?" It came up constantly during Mozilla's layoffs last year. For better or worse, it just "looks bad" when a non-profit executive makes a seven figure salary. And when people ask "could we set up an ombuds/ethics committee/advisory board to prevent Mozilla from doing this?" The answer is the same: no, that wouldn't really work.

>"How can you ask me to donate money when Baker's making six figures?" It came up constantly during Mozilla's layoffs last year. The donations are for the foundation, the corporation makes a lot of money off their search engine deal. People often bring these things up as they sound bad, so if you're going to to repeat it add the necessary context and avoid the simple misunderstandings. >could we set up an ombuds/ethics committee/advisory board to prevent Mozilla from doing this They have a board that picks the corporation's CEO and sets their salary. I doubt you want the monetary sources to control this board, as that would give Google almost total control.
