According to [1] it's increased by more than 400% [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Baker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_Baker

  I feel like you're misleadingly quoting the Wikipedia article. > In 2018 she received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008. ...... > By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic.[16] ---------- So its a 400% increase between 2008 and 2018, suggesting that her initial pay was an abysmal (for a CEO) pay of only $500k in 2008. For the period suggested (the period where Mozilla fired 250 employees), her pay only raised from ~$2.5 million to $3 million, which is in line with my expectations.

    I disagree. 500k is in line with salaries in other nonprofits. Even Costco CEO’s base salary is 800k.

    > which is in line with my expectations. My expectations for a CEO who presided over the level of performance we've seen from Mozilla in recent years would be that their salary would be reduced to zero. Because they would get fired.

    Her performance was equally abysmal, why raise salary?

    I do not see a reason for anyone to make multiple millions of dollars each year, no matter what they do. $500k is an incredible amount of money, which should be sufficient for anyone as compensation.
